[arch-general] Remove Clisp from repository
Hello, firstly, I don't know where I can send this message, so sorry if this is the wrong place. Clisp (an ANSI Common Lisp interpreter) hadn't received a new release since 2010-07-07 and the last update on the extra repo was on 2019-01-11, so I thought as we have others better options than Clisp, like sbcl on the extra repo, that has an active development, may be better if the Clisp package is removed from the arch repositories.

I'm not sure what you mean by this since the clisp version we package is built from this 2018 code: https://gitlab.com/gnu-clisp/clisp/commit/8934707712fc87a5dbe9c4387440ed0245... The most recent commit to the project is from 3 weeks ago. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

I didn't know about this repository on GitLab, but if you go to the official Clisp site (https://www.gnu.org/software/clisp/), you will see that the latest version (2.49) was released on 2010-07-07.

That's correct, if you look at the official site it states the source code hosting location is sourceforge, and the latest commit to the sourceforge repository added this file: https://sourceforge.net/p/clisp/clisp/ci/default/tree/00_REPOSITORY_HAS_MOVE... Since sourceforge has an hgweb instance which is less gross than their custom VCS browser, take a look at the revision history here: http://hg.code.sf.net/p/clisp/clisp The version that Arch Linux packages, by the way, is a beta release. Which is forgivable since the alternative is missing out on almost a full decade of improvements. ;) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User

For clarification and providing a verifiable source: that SourceForge page is ancient. The repository has been officially moved to GitLab over a year ago.[1] And the SF repo was active until that time.[2]
