[Asdf-devel] Registering preloaded systems for Quicklisp/ASDF
by Dave Cooper 05 Jun '15

Hi, I know this has been discussed, but what is currently the best practice for registering a preloaded system after loading Quicklisp? That is, I have a pre-built image with some Quicklisp/ASDF systems in it, which were loaded through so-called monolithic-fasls (now known as compile-bundles). So the pre-built image doesn’t itself have ASDF or Quicklisp. A downstream user then loads Quicklisp and ASDF (I take steps to ensure that they are loading the matching version of ASDF and Quicklisp as was used to build the image). Now I need to do something to tell Quicklisp and ASDF that certain systems are already loaded in this image, so it won’t try to re-load them as depended-upon systems. In this specific case, I don't want it to try to fetch and reload Gendl when the user does (ql:quickload ...) on an application which :depends-on :gendl (because gendl is already built into this image). asdf/find-system:register-preloaded-system seems like it should be the answer if we’re talking about plain ASDF, because it will prevent ASDF from raising a “missing-component” error for the system in question, if some other system :depends-on it and yet no source code is found. But in my case I can’t guarantee that “no source code is found.” The source might be there in the quicklisp dist directory. So apparently I need something stronger than register-preloaded-system? Or something else? -- My Best, Dave Cooper

[Asdf-devel] :homepage :bug-tracker :mailto :long-name :source-control

Shamed by a tweet by @hexstreamsoft, I made a very minimal attempt at documenting the existence since ASDF 2.27 of the :homepage :bug-tracker :mailto :long-name :source-control keywords to defsystem. I will leave for someone else to make real manual entries out of the information. NB: AFAIR, none of the types of these arguments is enforced by ASDF. Good luck! —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. — Peter Drucker

[Asdf-devel] Why won't accept relative pathnames in source-registry?
by Eitaro Fukamachi 18 Feb '15

Hi ASDF developers, I wanna ask a question about the specification of source-registry. ASDF doesn't allow relative pathnames in source-registry string intentionally. https://github.com/drmeister/asdf/blob/master/source-registry.lisp#L136 It seems the line has long history, however, why it won't accept relative pathnames? I think it would be useful when adding the current working directory to the source registry like: # doesn't work CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=. sbcl --eval '(princ (asdf:system-source-directory :myapp))' Thanks, Eitaro Fukamachi
