[slime-devel] slime-search-buffer-package not working

[Constantine Vetoshev]

I just updated to the latest SLIME from CVS, and I noticed that 
trusty
C-c M-p stopped working. I tend to name packages with keywords, 
and
the package string includes in the minibuffer prompt includes a
leading colon, e.g., :trial. I have to keep manually removing the
colon to sync the package from my editor buffer to my REPL.

I noticed in the CVS log a commit from November 24th: "slime.el
(slime-search-buffer-package): Don't remove double quotes or "#:",
swank:parse-package takes care of that." Directly calling
swank::parse-package does seem to work, but I don't think SLIME is 
doing this right now. I have this problem with OpenMCL (1.1 beta) 
and SBCL (1.0.12). I did blow away .slime/fasl and I restarted 
Emacs, so I
think there's a bug somewhere.

I took a quick look at the code in slime.el, but I'm not familiar 
it
with the way slime.el calls swank functions, so it's not obvious 
where
to look. FWIW, I don't think any code references the parse-package 
function in swank (which, by the way, is not exported from the 
swank package).
