Comment(by moody at isi.edu):
Replying to [comment:3 easieste@…]:
> When I originally created the SLIME portfile, the committer who accepted
the port made the suggestion to make SLIME depend on an installed Lisp, of
which SBCL was the default variant.

> This makes sense from the perspective that SLIME without a Lisp to
connect to makes little sense, although one might well be interating with
a remote Lisp.
I am fortunate enough to have access to ACL and I don't want another Lisp.
And there was a time (albeit briefly) when the only Lisp I could use was
ACL or Lispworks - the first MacBook pros were 32bit x86. I think the
slime install should be Lisp agnostic, but having the option of installing
a list is great!
> I will remove requiring SBCL as the default variant.>
Thanks!
> Did you wish to remove all the variants for depending on other installed
Lisp?
I'm not sure what all is out there. My bias would be to install as little
as possible.
Thanks for maintain this. I use the bleeding edge of Slime myself, but
there are others in my group who use this port.
