lisaac and lisaac-common ? it could be just lisaac-common with the current
content of the compiler.git

Good idea to have a lisaac-doc package. Thus, it comes closer to the current
standards in distribution packages

so we can have a debian and gentoo branch in the compiler.git for theses
purposes.

Good idea, this way each one can install just the package he wants according
to the editor he uses (Vim ;)

so we can have a debian and gentoo branch in the editor.git for theses
purposes.

When releasing, we included a lot of libraries in the final package but not
all of theme. In fact there are some libraries
which does not work with current compiler version. And moreover there are
some libs which were not tested when releasing.
If you look at the current release tarball in the website, in the lib
directory you have :

   - standard
   - internal

the two above, have to be included in the lisaac-common packages, as they
are part of the compiler.git

   - extra

each lib in this extra directory could be packaged as lib<name of the lib as
in the extra dir>-lisaac
this way each one could install just the EXTRA library he wants

   - unstable

the content of this unstable directory should no be packaged for the moment
be cause not tested yet/

 so we can have a debian and gentoo branch in the libraries.git for theses
purposes.

And i propose to have a debian and gentoo branch in the application.git in
order to package the standard examples,
this could be something like <name of the example>-lisaac.
The other examples are not fully tested and should not be packaged as the
unstable libraries
