My plan for ASDF 1.600 is to rename the (recently) builtin asdf-binary-locations to asdf-output-locations and make a few incompatible changes to it. * These changes will allow for configuration through an API similar to the one I introduced for the source-registry in 1.500. * I don't think many people use bleeding-edge enough ASDF to have the builtin ABL and these kinds of people would easily adapt anyway * This API will allow the future common-lisp-controller to plug nicely into ASDF through a supported API that doesn't break other stuff and isn't broken by it. * It will also bring all the binary location advantages of asdf-binary-locations, common-lisp-controller or CL-launch to everyone with a single, well-documented, supported configuration mechanism.
I committed the following document to explain my current plans, and would appreciate comments:
