Description Philip White 2007-12-27 06:14:39 UTC

This is an enhancement request.

Please add cl-ppcre support to dev-lisp/clisp.  The StumpWM window manager requires cl-ppcre support, so right now to use stumpwm I need to emerge clisp 2.43, then download cl-ppcre, and manually inject those modules into the environment, save the new clisp binary to my home directory, and point stumpwm at it.  Having Portage take care of this would be a great help.

Reproducible: Always

Why not just emerge clisp and then emerge cl-ppcre?

In practice, if stumpwm needs cl-ppcre then it ought to be in the stumpwm requirements.  Can you clarify whether it is needed with sbcl and/or cmucl or whether it is clisp specific.  

stumpwm is that place it should be dealt with, not clisp.

Added the dependency.  Thanks for the report.

If it doesn't work, then reopen the bug.
