Hi Stephen,

Thanks for this report. I've filed a ticket at https://metabang.fogbugz.com/default.asp?219_9l0u1auj and will incorporate your patch as soon as I can.

I have my SBCL_HOME pointing to a symlink. As a result, because ASDF chases symlinks, the SBCL-specific rule doesn't work with contribs in my environment.

I work around this by chasing symlinks for all sources in *source-to-target-mappings*. This has worked well for me for a while; I include it now as a Darcs patch.

[follow symlinks in source path prefixes of *source-to-target- mappings* Stephen Compall scompall@nocandysw.com**20080910150113] { hunk ./dev/main.lisp 146 +(defun source-to-target-resolved-mappings ()

• "Answer `*source-to-target-mappings*' with additional entries made

+by resolving sources that are symlinks.

+As ASDF sometimes resolves symlinks to compute source paths, we must +follow that. For example, if SBCL is installed under a symlink, and +SBCL_HOME is set through that symlink, the default rule above +preventing SBCL contribs from being mapped elsewhere will not be +applied by the plain `*source-to-target-mappings*'."

• (loop for mapping in asdf:*source-to-target-mappings*
• for (source target) = mapping
• for true-source = (and source (resolve-symlinks source))
• if (equal source true-source)

•  collect mapping
  

• else append (list mapping (list true-source target))))
