What it is

Metacopy is a toolkit for specifying how to make copies of objects. Use defcopy-methods to describe the copying of slots and copy-thing to make copies. What could be easier?

Metacopy relies on Moptilities. There is TINAA documentation available.

Mailing Lists

• metacopy-announce: A low volume, read only list for announcements.
• metacopy-devel: A list for questions, patches, bug reports, and so on; It's for everything other than announcements.

Where is it

A Darcs repository is available. You'll need Moptilities and Metatilities too. The commands to get them are listed below:

darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-containers/moptilities/darcs/moptilities
darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/metacopy/darcs/metacopy

Metacopy is ASDF installable. Its CLiki home is right where you'd expect.

There's also a handy gzipped tar file.
