I am looking for references on software version management in Lisp.
I would be delighted to find a sophisticated system, tailored for Lisp,
but any information will be appreciated. Since my interest is for
the design of such a system, a technical proposal would be of
equal value to a manual of a product that's actually being marketed.
I have used DEFSYSTEM in ZetaLisp release 6: nice, but quite conventional.
Since then, Symbolics has surely not been idle?
I remember reading, five years ago, about a system called Common Lisp
Framework (?) being developed at ISI. Did anything come out of it?
E-mail or post, as you wish, I will be very grateful for any pointers.

I have been developing a common lisp portable defsystem macro for
managing (compiling/loading) systems of files. It is a superset of the
Symbolics system construction tool, and is rather featureful.
I haven't fully torture-tested it, but am using it for my own work.
I'm still adding features as well.
Would there be interest in my posting a copy of the sources and
documentation to the net? If so, what newsgroup?
