I had some Common Lisp libraries on Github that I have abandonned a while ago, mostly because I have either
- found a better library by someone else,
- decided to follow alternative approaches, or
- write a better version with an incompatible API.
These libraries have been undergoing some quiet bit-rot for a while which makes them unusable without minor or not so minor fixes, for which I have no time; also, there are better libraries out there for the same purpose.
Having abandonned Common Lisp libraries out there is confusing and goes against the principle of consolidating Common Lisp Libraries, so I decided to remove some repositories. In particular, I have removed
cl-2d
, which didn't see any new development in the last two years. My recommended replacement is cl-flexplot, which uses PGF (a LaTeX package) as a backend.cl-text-tables
was simply abandonned, I recommend the excellent cl-csv instead.cl-numlib
is superseded by cl-num-utils.
The latter two suggested replacements are in Quicklisp.
If, for some strange reason, anyone is interested in the code of the dead libraries, just write me an e-mail. But I would prefer if these libraries stayed dead, as there are much better replacements out there.
It is very likely that I will remove other deprecated libraries in the future.
