+Stumpwm notes for Gentoo
+------------------------
+
+As always with CVS ebuilds, DO NOT report problems to upstream.
+Always report problems to the Gentoo Bugzilla at
+http://bugs.gentoo.org/.
+
+This is a live CVS port of Stumpwm therefore every time you emerge
+x11-wm/stumpwm-cvs you will be installing the most recent Stumpwm.
+You may not always get a working Stumpwm. The ebuild supports setting
+ECVS_BRANCH from outside the ebuild so you can select Stumpwm CVS
+source from the past.
+
+Starting Stumpwm
+----------------
+
+For the moment, actually starting Stumpwm is left as an exercise for
+the user. Some users may prefer to load SLIME (via SWANK) support
+into the image with Stumpwm and some users may prefer not to.
+Deciding on SLIME TCP port numbers is also a user decision. Users may
+wish to experiment with Stumpwm in different Common Lisp
+implementations or just use a particular implementation.
+
+Here are some hints to get you started:
+
+ (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :stumpwm)
+
+Start a SLIME listener:
+
+ (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :swank)
+ (swank:create-swank-server 4005 :spawn)
+
+Then you can connect your Emacs to the Stumpwm image later using the
+following from Emacs:
+
+ M-x slime-connect RET 127.0.0.1 RET 4005 RET
+
+Isn't SLIME wonderful?. You might consider app-misc/detachtty or
+app-misc/screen for recovering the REPL if not using SLIME.
+
+Start Stumpwm:
+
+ (stumpwm:stumpwm ":0")
+
+You might also consider dev-lisp/cl-launch which is an excellent way
+to wrap up Common Lisp systems into a single, portable shell script.
+For example, the following creates a ~/bin/mystumpwm script which will
+try to load the stumpwm system definition into SBCL. If that fails,
+it will try CLISP:
+
+ cl-launch --output ~/bin/mystumpwm --lisp "sbcl clisp" \
+ --system stumpwm --init '(stumpwm:stumpwm ":0")'
+
