I think the current status is OK. |

1. gcl |
| 8 |
I'd like to remove 2.6.7-r3 (it is masked). I think now it will not |
| 9 |
compile without extra patches. |
| 10 |
2.6.10 is a good release. When 2.6.11 will appear, I'll add it to the |
| 11 |
tree. gcl will support asdf soon (maybe 2.6.11, maybe somewhat later). |
| 12 |
When the relevant releases of gcl and asdf will appear, I'll add +asdf USE |
| 13 |
flag. |
| 14 |
Old versions of gcl were keyworded on many arches; in Debian gcl works on |
| 15 |
many arches now. I can only run stuff on ~amd64 and ~x86. Maybe, file a |
| 16 |
keywording bug for some arches? Which ones? ppc? ppc64? sparc? |
| 17 |

2. clozurecl |
| 19 |
There is a keywording bug for ppc and ppc64 filed by Pacho Ramos. If it |
| 20 |
will be ever keyworded on ppc, I'll remove the ancient openmcl from the |
| 21 |
tree (openmcl was renamed to clozurecl; openmcl in the tree is keyworded |
| 22 |
~ppc). |

Yes, this is definitely a good idea. |
