[slime-devel] Is slime-repl now needed for remote slime?

[Sidney Markowitz]

Now that slime-repl is in contrib, is it true that
 (setup-slime '(slime-repl))
is necessary to use a remote Lisp process? I see that starting up a
lisp, having it load the right stuff and run swank:create-server, and
then using M-x slime-connect works if slime-repl is loaded, but I don't
see any repl if it is not.

Or is there another recommended way now to use a remote lisp that does
not depend on any contrib modules?

Thanks,
