[asdf-devel] [RfC] default value for *central-registry*
by Tobias C. Rittweiler 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

I hate that I have to push a commonly shared directory onto *central-registry* for each implementation and thus have to know the rc files of every implementation. (I was recently bidden by some classic rm -rf ~, and had to redo all these kinds of infrastructure woes.) Would anyone mind ASDF coming with an additional default value of ~/.asdf/systems/? -T.

[asdf-devel] updating ccl's bundled asdf
by R. Matthew Emerson 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

[sorry if this is duplicate] We bundle an ASDF version that's about a year old or so (1.130) with Clozure CL. If I want to bundle a newer ASDF with CCL, what version should it be? There seem to have been half a dozen releases in the past couple of months. Would it be best to wait a little longer for things to settle down?

[asdf-devel] ASDF features under discussion
by Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Now that this discussion is opened, I would like to add a small question and a petition. First the question. What is the level of integration of ASDF with different implementations? Does ASDF support all lisp implementations equally? Does SBCL (and perhaps other) ship the latest versions of ASDF? I am asking this because ECL has some pretty special needs. Namely, ASDF currently relies on compile-file / load for everything and for us it is more efficient to compile many files into a single binary that is loaded at a later point. Currently ECL solves this using a slightly outdated version of ASDF, providing its own operations and imposing around methods on different operations. http://ecls.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ecls/ecl;a=blob;f=contrib/… For instance, we have a LOAD-FASL-OP that joins three steps: 1) a LOAD-OP that thanks to the around methods produces both FASLs and object files, 2) linking the object files into a big FASL, 3) loading the big FASL. If the big FASL has been produced, then only step 3) is performed. But in addition to this ECL provides operations for creating standalone executable files, shared libraries and statically linked libraries http://ecls.sourceforge.net/new-manual/ch16.html I am aware that ASDF is a rapidly evolving architecture and I am afraid that things would break. It is for this reason that I would like to ask for help in one of these ways: 1) providing a stable way for us to implement these extensions or 2) including those operations in ASDF.

Hi. Can anyone point me to a list of which lisps do / don't run ASDF? Or is it believed that all CL implementations work with ASDF? Thanks, - nick

[asdf-devel] Recognizing directories in a component name
by Faré 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

For years now, we at ITA have been satisfied with a patch that does the following while building QRes: allow to specify module names that include a directory component, without having to redundantly as in (:module "subdir1/subdir2" :components ((:file "subdir3/name3") (:file "subdir4/name4.subname4"))) instead of the cumbersome (to be portable): (:module "subdir1/subdir2" :pathname #.(make-pathname :directory '(:relative "subdir" "subdir2")) :components ((:file "subdir3/name3" :pathname #.(make-pathname :directory '(:relative "subdir3" :name "name3"))) (:file "subdir4/name4.subname4" :pathname #.(make-pathname :directory '(:relative "subdir4" :name "name4.subname4")))))) Since there is active ASDF development again, I cleaned it up and here it is. The methods should replace those currently in ASDF. The helper function now uses the existing ASDF split function (as previously requested by Xof). The patch is both backwards compatible and portable, in that * the "/" character was previously forbidden in names of portable components without a :pathname statement, least it breaks miserably on most platforms. * the "/" character is now recognized by ASDF itself as a separator for directories later made with make-pathname, thus doing what is expected even on the odd platform without "/" as the pathname separator. [ François-René ÐVB Rideau | Reflection&Cybernethics | http://fare.tunes.org ] Selfishness is the measure of all good (and bad) in the world. There cannot be any good whatsoever without a self to feel it. WHO is whatever "altruistic" oppression ever good for? No one. Why is gratuitous vandalism or well-intentioned mass murder bad? Not because it is selfish, but precisely because it hurts other people's selfish interest.

[asdf-devel] my apologies - computer craziness
by Gary King 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Hi all, The last revision to ASDF got bolluxed between my upgrade to Snow Leopard, computer issues, e-mail problems, etc. I've been unable to get e-mail on my regular account since yesterday. Killian Sprotte told me that the last update was hosed because of some extra #\)'s. Ugh. I'm trying to recover, thanks. -- Gary Warren King, gwking(a)franz.com, http://www.franz.com/ Franz Inc., 2201 Broadway, Suite 715, Oakland, CA 94612, USA Cell: (413) 559-8738 * FAX: (206) 338-4052
