[asdf-devel] find-system
by Lou Vanek 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

I am totally confused with the asdf:find-system method. The symbol is exported but it isn't bound to a function, at least on my system. About 10 different packages call asdf:find-system but it cannot be called because it isn't bound. Asdf:find-system IS declared and defined and exported in asdf.lisp version 2.009, but when a package tries to call it I get an error. Yet I can see it's defined in asdf.lisp as: (defmethod find-system (name &optional (error-p t)) (find-system (coerce-name name) error-p)) (defmethod find-system ((name string) &optional (error-p t)) (catch 'find-system ... CL-USER> (apropos "find-system") ASDF:FIND-SYSTEM ASDF::FIND-SYSTEM-FALLBACK, Def: FUNCTION ; No value CL-USER> (asdf::find-system :usocket) ; Evaluation aborted on #<CCL::UNDEFINED-FUNCTION-CALL #x18634CFE>. CL-USER> asdf::*asdf-version* "2.009" CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-type) "Clozure Common Lisp" CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-version) "Version 1.6-dev-r14367M-trunk (LinuxX8632)" What am I missing? Thanks, Lou Vanek

[asdf-devel] How to have fasls go to a fasl directory under the source directory?
by Mitch Berkson 17 Oct '10

17 Oct '10

Is there a general way to have the fasls for files in a source directory default to being written to a fasl subdirectory of the source directory? So if I have the source in d:/lisp/lw-add-ons, I'd like the fasls to be written to d:/lisp/lw-add-ons. I have done this by adding a d:/lisp/.config/common-lisp/asdf-output-translations.conf.d/lw-add-ons-asdf.conf file containing:("d:/lisp/lw-add-ons/" "d:/lisp/lw-add-ons/fasl/") But is there a way to make this the default behavior so that d:/lisp/other-system/ will have their fasls written to d:/lisp/other-system/fasl? Alternatively, could they be written to a central fasl directory but in a sub-directory named for the package? So d:/lisp/fasl/other-system/? This is on Win XP. Thanks for any help. Mitch Berkson

[asdf-devel] patch for the manual to add :if-component-dep-fails to the grammar
by Robert P. Goldman 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

If someone with the commit bit sees this, will you please skim it and push it? My git repo is in some horrible state following on my last push where it steadfastly resists all of my attempts to turn this into a fast-forward (pushable) patch. thanks, r

[asdf-devel] asdf-utilities
by Lou Vanek 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Hi, I'm setting up a new lisp system on a new debian lenny machine and one of the lisp libraries I'm trying to load is asking to load the asdf-utilities package, but this package doesn't exist. My Google-fu can't find it either. Not sure what I'm missing. I'm using the latest version of openmcl/clozure/ccl from trunk. The asdf version that loads is 2.009. I believe asdf is included with ccl. Appreciate any ideas. Thanks, Lou Vanek P.S. I may not be able to respond immediately to any response since my internet connection currently depends on wardriving until I find something unsecured.

[asdf-devel] documentation about ASDF configuration
by Attila Lendvai 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

dear list, the issue of ASDF configuration came up on sbcl-devel. it's already documented at: http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf.html#Configuring-ASDF i've found it too verbose compared to what it's all about, or at least too much written in the form of prose. as if it was written for people who first meet the concept of system definitions and library loading itself. imho, the usefulness of a documentation is determined by two things: - how quickly readers find an answer for a specific question - how much the documentation is structured so that it helps reading a topic in different levels of detail. like: - getting a bird's view (e.g. only reading the sub-chapter titles) - reading the first paragraph of each chapter - reading a whole chapter of interest also note that the readers of the ASDF documentation (and ASDF users) are 90+% experienced programmers. so, i suggest to seriously shorten the configuration chapter, or to split the documentation into a verbose one for newcomers, and a highly structured one for people who have an idea what they are dealing with, just don't know which knob to turn in which direction. if we don't split, then at least focus on the latter. these are based on my personal experience reading the doc. and a specific suggestion: the inherit-configuration feature was not obvious and i misunderstood it. the two possible interpretation: - insert here the rest of what is defined in the standard configuration files (the right one) - insert here the current value of the source-registry. IOW, let me append or prefix some configuration entries (the way i misunderstood it) but ASDF2 is definitely a great improvement, thanks a whole lot for the work! -- attila ps: i know i should provide patches instead, so i quickly shut up now because i don't know ASDF enough to confidently edit its documentation.

[asdf-devel] asdf-utilities
by Lou Vanek 12 Oct '10

Hi, I'm setting up a new lisp system on a new debian lenny machine and one of the lisp libraries I'm trying to load is asking to load the asdf-utilities package, but this package doesn't exist. Was this included with ASDF1 and not ASDF2? If so, how do people work around those libraries that require asdf-utilities? I'm using the latest version of openmcl/clozure/ccl from trunk. The asdf version that loads is 2.009. I believe asdf is included with ccl. Appreciate any ideas. Thanks, Lou Vanek

I fixed the asdf-utilities issue by updating the metabang-bind library from darcs. The version number didn't change but obviously something was updated.

[asdf-devel] ASDF 2 questions
by Didier Verna 10 Oct '10

10 Oct '10

[ Please, Cc: me as I'm not on the mailing list ] Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my CL configuration to ASDF 2, and I have several questions: 1/ why isn't "source-registry.conf" named "asdf-source-registry.conf" ? 2/ Should we understand that the convention of having a "systems" directory with .asd files symlinked there is now obsolete ? I still prefer to keep that because I can select which of the installed sources I do want to be seen. I guess you could also use exclude patterns for doing so, but it seems way more complicated. Comments ? 3/ The following contents for source-registry.conf fails: (:source-registry (:directory (merge-pathnames "share/common-lisp/systems/" (user-homedir-pathname))) (:directory "/usr/local/share/common-lisp/systems") (:directory "/usr/share/common-lisp/systems") :inherit-configuration) Am I to understand that this file cannot really contain Lisp code (and so I couldn't use #'merge-pathnames)? Because in that case, this sucks. I have several machines on which $HOME is different (e.g. /home/ or /Users/, and no, I don't want to create a /home/ -> /Users/ symlink on my Macs) 4/ I'm also struggling with the output translations. I'm happy with the default settings (using .cache/blabla) except for one case. For lisp files located under ~/Science/Source/Common Lisp/ (recursively), I want the compiled files to remain at the same place, under an implementation-specific subdirectory, like asdf-binary-locations did for me before. For instance, ~/Science/Source/Common Lisp/foo/bar/baz.lisp would produce somthing like: ~/Science/Source/Common Lisp/foo/bar/sbcl-1.0.32.30-linux-x86-64/baz.fasl I tried this: (:output-translations ("/Users/didier/Science/Source/Common Lisp/" (:current-directory :implementation)) :inherit-configuration) but this doesn't work. SBCL says: This is SBCL 1.0.42.52, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

ASDF could not load asdf-install because Error while trying to load definition for system sb-bsd-sockets from pathname /usr/local/lib/sbcl/sb-bsd-sockets/sb-bsd-sockets.asd: :CURRENT-DIRECTORY fell through ETYPECASE expression.

Wanted one of ((EQL :DEFAULT-DIRECTORY) (EQL :SYSTEM-CACHE) (EQL :USER-CACHE) (EQL :HOME) (EQL :ROOT) CONS STRING PATHNAME). So what's the magick ? 5/ Finally, I would like confirmation that ASDF now handles outdated fasl's correctly, and we don't need to do the black magick ourselves. Thanks a lot ! -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated. Scientific site: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier Music (Jazz) site: http://www.didierverna.com

[asdf-devel] Incrementally extending the source registry?
by Zach Beane 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Say I download a tarball that has a number of projects in it: $ tar xzvf fooprojects.tgz fooprojects/neato/neato.asd fooprojects/neato/neato.lisp fooprojects/stuff/stuff.asd fooprojects/stuff/stuff.lisp fooprojects/xyz/xyz.asd fooprojects/xyz/xyz.lisp If these are now unpacked in ~/src/fooprojects/, how can I add that tree to my ASDF source registry by calling ASDF functions? Say a few minutes later I download another tarball with a number of projects in it: $ tar xzvf barprojects.tgz barprojects/awesome/awesome.asd barprojects/awesome/awesome.lisp barprojects/stump/stump.asd barprojects/stump/stump.lisp barprojects/tapper/tapper.asd barprojects/tapper/tapper.lisp If these are now unpacked in ~/src/barprojects/, how can I add that tree to my ASDF soruce registry by calling ASDF functions, without losing the previous fooprojects registration? Thanks, Zach
