Updated Quicklisp client now available

I updated the Quicklisp client yesterday. The new version has the following fixes:

• (ql:quickload '()) is allowed and treated as an empty list of things to load - patch from Masatoshi SANO
• :defsystem-depends-on prerequisites are loaded automatically when planning how to load systems

To get this update, use (ql:update-client).

Enjoy!

aserve renaming breaks stuff

Recently Portable AllegroServe renamed its main system from "aserve" to "paserve". This breaks a bunch of stuff, including parts of aserve itself. Here are some other things:

• Wuwei
• scalpl
• racer
• practical-cl
• cl-rss
• cl-geocode
• leech

Other failures are available in a daily build failure report. 

Does anyone have any interest in getting these projects building with the latest updates to Portable AllegroServe?

update This has been resolved, for now, by reverting the change.
