linedit doesn't build. Seems to be several reasons.
One it requests a *osicat-version* variable which doesn't exist.
Second it seems to have several undefined variables.
Well just subscribed to this group so if/when you have a stable release,
I should know. 
(Added linedit to my clbuild projects and dependencies.)

Stable, heh. Aside from the two trivialish commits (Kevin's patches)
earlier today linedit hasn't actually changed at all for a couple of
years. :)

The Osicat issue was due to due to Osicat having been much more
actively developed recently -- and not having *OSICAT-VERSION*
anymore.

The missing variable warnings were due to a missing dependency between
utility-functions.lisp and utility-macros.lisp.

...and most embarrassingly, those aforementioned patches broke Linedit on SBCL.

All these issues have now been fixes in CVS.

Thanks for the heads up! However, you should be warned that I am not
currently actively developing Linedit: while future bugreport are
certainly welcome, I am unlikely to respond with such alacrity.
(Patches are always welcome, though!)

Cheers,
