Re: Roswell - common lisp environment setup utility

Roswell has a few annoying quirks (= bugs) that make it rather unusable on some platforms, sadly. I wish it was actually maintained. (It was rather good once, in my opinion.)

If you want to port Roswell to OpenBSD, you shouldn't really start with it, I guess. It has quite a few platform-specifics [1] alongside its wide range of bugs which would need to be addressed.
