10 years ago slime-ros is provided by rosemacs-el, a package that is completely independent of the ros distro used. Some time ago, we were just building the debian package manually and uploading it to the ros package server. But I think noone is maintaining it at the moment and I even don't know if it is still available on the server.
It would be good to find a way to release it using bloom and just let roslisp_repl depend on it.

I got packages roslisp_repl and slime in my catkin_ws, made and installed them with catkin. However, rosrun roslisp_repl roslisp_repl starts up emacs and winds up with the following error:
Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50python-docutils.el (source)...done Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50rosemacs-el.el (source)...done Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50slime.el (source)...

A couple of questions: (1) Why do we download slime from cvs in a separate ros package? Would the slime debian work, instead? (2) In repl-config.el we have the following line: (add-to-list 'load-path (ros-package-path "slime")) Unfortunately, this is no longer where the slime sources are located after checkout. We need the install-path, and I have no clue how to get there... :( Any propositions? (3) Also in repl-config.el, we're referering to slime-ros: (slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-asdf slime-indentation slime-ros)) Where does slime-ros come from?
