[asdf-devel] DOC-OP

I think GwKing uses automatically generated documentation for his libraries. Gary, do you use some hook into ASDF for that? In my experience, you always have to toggle a few switches for each project (name, version number, download url, etc), and I'd like to have a general interface that hides the details, say (ASDF:OOS 'ASDF:DOC-OP :TARGET-DIR #P"...") -T.

[asdf-devel] loading a standalone lisp file
by Tamas Papp 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, If I have an ASDF system that :depends-on various other ones _and_ some other library that does not have and .asd file (eg it is a standalone .lisp file), what is the standard way of loading the latter? I am looking for something that eg automates manually executing (load (compile-file "/path/foo.lisp")) and how to incorporate this into a defsystem. Thanks, Tamas

[asdf-devel] how to query root of a system
by Tamas Papp 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi, Suppose I have a library named MYLIBRARY which was installed in the directory /somewhere/foo/ (eg by ASDF-Install, clbuild or manually by the user). It has a /somewhere/foo/mylibrary.asd definition file, which was duly symlinked to mylibrary.asd in ASDF's central registry. The user can load it the usual way using ASDF. Is it possible to query the root directory somehow using the name? Eg I am looking for (query-system-root :mypackage) ; evaluates to #P"/somewhere/foo/" I could not find how to do this in the manual. Thanks, Tamas

[asdf-devel] tests failing
by Faré 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

I ran the tests for asdf. Out of 17, 5 fail on sbcl and 7 on clisp. Oops. On SBCL, the failures seem related to the pathname redirection of ABL / CLC. test1.script test2.script test3.script test-force.script test-static-and-serial.script On CLISP, the two additional failures are test-module-pathnames.script where clisp reads "foo.cl" as having directory nil instead of (:relative), which I think is legal, and test-retry-loading-component-1.script which seems to have to do with a restart-case retry in do-one-dep, but that's beyond my depth. The good news is most of these failures are only failures of the test themselves. The bad news is someone probably has to fix them and commit a fix.

Re: [asdf-devel] XCVB patch for split-sequence
by Faré 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

The cCLan list has apparently become the asdf-devel list. Is this still where the upstream for split-sequence is? If so, can this patch be applied? If not, who's in charge?

[asdf-devel] trac?
by Robert Goldman 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Would it be acceptable to set up trac for ASDF? I just finished work on the manual for trac, and was going to take a look at some of the features issues that Nick Levine discovered, and it would make things much easier if some of these issues were available on a ticket system. Cheers, r
