#301: Source locations should use a logical pathname ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mevenson | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 1.2.0 Component: other | Version: 1.2.0-dev Keywords: | ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.armedbear.devel/2764 On armedbear- develop] Xiaofeng Yang makes the reasonable request to not have the physical pathname recorded at build time in the symbol property lists.
The first step to implement this would be to use the SYS:SRC logical pathname in the symbol plist, for which a value is already recorded in system.lisp at build time [source:trunk/abcl/src/org/armedbear/lisp /compile-system.lisp#L503 CREATE-SYSTEM-LOGICAL-PATHNAME].
At runtime, the user could override this value by setting the translation to a valid location. Using URL-PATHNAME we could possibly also fallback to a location available over the Internets.
