Removed projects: asn.1, cl-bacteria, cl-binary-file, cl-btree, cl-ntriples, cl-op, cl-swap-file, cl-wal, cl-web-crawler, doplus, esrap-peg.

There are more removed projects than usual this month. asn.1 was removed by request of the author. esrap-peg no longer builds - it may be back soon. All the others are victims of Google Code and SourceForge. Their code can no longer be easily checked out or updated, they don't affect other projects, and nobody has come forward to move them somewhere else and maintain them. If you miss any of those projects, feel free to take it over and let me know.

To get this month's update, use (ql:update-dist "quicklisp"). Enjoy!

Projects on the bubble

This month there are a number of projects that may be dropped from Quicklisp. They are hosted by Google Code and SourceForge, and the projects no longer check out properly. They are:

• cl-bacteria
• cl-binary-file
• cl-btree
• cl-ntriples
• cl-op
• cl-swap-file
• cl-wal
• cl-web-crawler
• cl-xspf
• doplus
• html-entities

Each of these projects was downloaded between 4 and 6 times in the month of September. (No project in the entire dist was downloaded fewer than 4 times.)

I'm going to do some build-testing and see how widely this will impact other projects. If the damage is minimal, they will simply be dropped.

If you maintain (or want to maintain) one of these projects and want to see it remain in Quicklisp, please update its hosting and then get in touch.

You didn't miss it -- there wasn't a fundraiser in April. Or May, either. I've got my fingers crossed to see one soon, but I'm not sure exactly when it might happen. Stay tuned!
