cl-micropm

A very minimalist "package manager" for Common Lisp in under 150 LOC.

How it works

1. Load cl-micropm.lisp.
2. Run (micropm:setup <your-system-name>). It uses a snapshot of Quicklisp's dependency index to fetch system dependencies. By default, it will create git submodules in ../deps/. Use :clone t to clone instead of creating submodules and :dry-run t to do a "dry run" (print commands that will be run, but don't actually run them).

Goals

• It should be loadable as a single file.
• The code should be easily auditable and readable, and therefore small in size (< 200 LOCs).
• It should be decentralized. No quicklisp or ultralisp, just git, http(s), etc.
• Dependendies should not be global, each project may have a local version that's different and may want to pin that version.
• It should be easy to work on projects that use different versions of a package, maybe even at the same time, without too much hassle.
• It should be easy to set up.
• It should be easy to understand what it's doing and how it works.
• It should be possible to just freeze the dependencies (separate fetching and loading commands).
