CL packages on hold

CL packages on hold

[Gerd Möllmann]

Just a short notice for the few (1?) that are following feature/pkg, and
wonder: I'm no longer working on it.

There are several reasons for this that I won't go into. The most
important reason for me personally is that I no longer find it
interesting enough.  Maybe that will change in the future again, who
knows.

For the current status of the branch, please see
admin/cl-packages.org.

Damn!  Really sorry to hear this.  Anyway,
thanks for working on it and regenerating
some interest.  Maybe someone (or you) will
pick it up and run with it again at some
point.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I think your CL packages project would be
important step forward for Emacs Lisp, just like lexical scope was. But,
yeah, we know...

Hi Gerd,

that's a sad news.  Sometimes finalizing and upstreaming a feature is
harder than most of the development, hope you get back some motivation
for the future.

Thanks

Well, that's sad.  I hope you or someone else will find the energy to
continue this work.

As someone who was following and looking forward to this, thats a
pitty, specially seeing how shorthands/cuts doesn't solve the same
problem, or even tries to address it. :-(

Mostly hoping that you'll or someone will reconsider and continue work
on this.
