Init files for Quicklisp

Certain files in ~/quicklisp/local-init/ are loaded (with cl:load) during Quicklisp initialization. Files matching "*.cl" or "*.lisp" and that do not start with a "." are loaded in cl:string< order of their names. (If two files foo.lisp and foo.cl both exist, the order in which they are loaded is undefined.)

This feature has been present for a long time, but I haven't used it myself and haven't written about it. If you try it and encounter any problems, please let me know.

Notes

  • Montezuma is back in Quicklisp after it was adopted by sharplispers and patched to build on the latest SBCL
  • iolib has been updated from 0.7.0 to the current git; there are substantial changes, including using g++ to grovel constants and requiring an external C library (libfixposix)
  • system metadata indexes have been generated with a new program, so please let me know if you have any problems loading anything
Feel free to send me feedback via zach@quicklisp.org or the Quicklisp mailing list.

Enjoy!
