Hi everyone,

Does ABCL support wild-inferiors in any way at all? DIRECTORY, which calls SYSTEM::LIST-DIRECTORIES-WITH-WILDCARDS, does not return a list of the whole subtree, although ABCL seems to understand the "**" notation for :wild-inferiors. Notably, asdf's :tree directive won't work, which was how I stumbled onto this.

CL-USER(56): (pathname-directory "/home/temp/**/") (:ABSOLUTE "home" "temp" :WILD-INFERIORS) CL-USER(55): (system::list-directories-with-wildcards "/home/temp/**/") NIL CL-USER(60): (system::wild-p :wild) T CL-USER(59): (system::wild-p :wild-inferiors) NIL

Also, for the following error, I am running armedbear 0.21.0 on

Linux ackbar 2.6.28-19-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 18 20:55:57 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

and with java:

Although this works:
