Previously, all CL packages using git-fetch were using
'(git-file-name name version)' in the 'source' field, and therefore the
sources were named "sbcl-something", which is a little weird as these
sources are also used for the "cl-*" and "ecl-*" packages that are
derived from the "sbcl-*" package definitions. The sources are not
specific to sbcl.
This is why when updating a CL package I use
'(git-file-name "cl-something" version)' instead. This way the naming
scheme for CL sources is similar to the others, like Python sources
fetched from git named "python-something", the R sources named
"r-something", etc.
