[Ecls-list] ECL and Slime

[Clayton Morrison]

Hello,

I am new to ECL and this mailing list, and the mailing list archive  
link is currently broken, so apologies if this question has already  
been addressed previously.  I am interested in the status of slime  
integration with ECL.  I was recently pointed to a small thread (from  
August 2005) on the slime-devel list that noted an initial port of  
slime to ECL:

	http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2005-August/003811.html

A reply in the thread notes that there was some work still needed to  
make the port robust.  Also, I have installed ECL v0.9i and tried it  
with slime, but find that the slime debugging facilities don't appear  
to be fully functional.  For example, the backtrace is not accessible  
(leading to further errors with the SWANK-BACKEND:FRAME-LOCALS).  My  
questions are:

(1) Is anyone on this list actively developing in ECL using slime?
(2) Has there been or is there planned further work on the slime  
interface to ECL, specifically to address the slime debugging and  
backtrace issues?  (If planned, is there an estimate on progress or  
when an update will be made?)

Thanks!
