I created an RPM package for SBCL 0.8.18 the other day and I'm looking for some testers. You can grab it at the moment at http://www.findinglisp.com/tmp/sbcl-0.8.18-2.i386.rpm.

This is not yet a permanent location for this file. I'll move this to someplace better once I get confirmation that things seem to be working out fine. I have done limited testing so far and it seems stable.

Update: I have uploaded these to Sourceforge in the SBCL area. Please retrieve RPMs from there.

This is stock 0.8.18 using default build options (no threads, for instance) with the exception of patching it such that the binary lands in /usr/bin, SBCL_HOME defaults to /usr/lib/sbcl, and documentation lands in /usr/share/doc/sbcl-0.8.18. These locations were done per standard Fedora packaging guidelines, with the long-term goal that this eventually ends up as part of Fedora Extras for easy installs.

I'll also probably turn on threading in subsequent builds, but just wanted to minimize changes here in case somebody finds something broken.

Thanks also to Miles Egan for the 0.8.10 RPM on sf.net, from which I snarfed some rpm spec ideas.
