[armedbear-devel] ABCL and ASDF

Dear ABCL developers,

another bug in ABCL:

(defparameter *wild-file*  (make-pathname :name :wild :type :wild :version :wild :directory nil))

(describe *wild-file*) (describe (make-pathname :defaults *wild-file*))

Apparently, make-pathname fails to copy the version from the defaults. ASDF currently works around this somehow.

PS: in a future ABCL release, please include ASDF 2.015.5 or later. Maybe 2.016 will have been released by then.
