Thanks! I've committed asdf.lisp 2.014.2 to XCL's tree on github. Thanks!

Fixed on github. (quit :status 42) or (exit :status 42) should work now. Excellent.

* Your make-pathname erroneously merges directories as in merge-pathnames. It shouldn't.

Can you give an example of this misbehavior, and what the correct behavior should be?

for i in sbcl ccl clisp ecl ccl abcl xcl gclcvs allegro scl ; do echo $i ; cl-launch -l $i -s asdf -f ~/bug/xcl-make-pathname.lisp; done 2> /dev/null |& tee /tmp/foo Everyone correctly replies #p"" except abcl and xcl that reply #p"/home/fare/". the bug file contains: (defparameter *h* "/home/fare/") (defparameter *make* (make-pathname :directory nil :defaults *h*)) (format t "~S~%" *make*) I wonder why I didn't detect the bug in abcl earlier. Cc'ing the abcl mailing-list. Also, it's very annoying for cl-launch that xcl doesn't have a --no-inform mode. Even more annoying when some output goes to standard-output *after* I print my stuff and call quit. Can you fix this?
