The package is hosted on github. If you want to download it from there, your best bet is cloning it from the repository, for which you need to install Git. Then go to the directory where you want it placed (a subdirectory will be created within it, so you don't have to do it), and use
git clone git://github.com/rpav/cl-cairo2.git
You might have to create a symlink to the asd file in your ASDF systems directory. After that, just use git pull in the subdirectory to update. A lot of guidance on Git is available here.
The package contains a tutorial. Patches and bug reports are always welcome. You can also refer to the cairo website for other documentation/tutorial.

- Line 47 of common.lisp: Wrong RGB symbols. Want the ones in cl-colors.
- CFFI puts out a lot of compiler warnings about bare references to struct types.
