[cl-debian] yet another versioning change?

[Peter Van Eynde]

Hello,

For the last week I've been trying to upgrade slime to the newest version and 
failed. slime-upstream works fine, but I cannot pull the changes into slime. 
I've send emails to the darcs-users list and debian-devel, but no-one offered 
any clues as to how I can solve this. 

I fear that basically darcs is not suited to debian package management because 
we often introduce 'conflicts' and 'doubleganger patches' (upstream includes 
a patch we've send). darcs seems to just break down under these conditions.

I've been redoing my work on sbcl for the last year with bzr and so far it did 
not blow up ;-S. Using tailor to convert from darcs to bzr does seem to take 
quite some time and I have not been able to check if you can do a merge 
between a <foo>-upstream and a <foo> branch after converting them with 
tailor. I fear not and that would mean we would have to restart all 
repositories. again.

Opinions? 

Groetjes, Peter
