OK, so I've put in the archives/ directory of asdf a few tarballs. See: http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/archives/
Would you consider adding an URL like asdf-driver-latest.tgz that will always refer to the latest version?
Done:
(defun link-archive () (run `(ln -sf ,(tarname (driver-name)) (,*clnet-asdf-public* "archives/asdf-driver.tar.gz")) :show t :host *clnet*) (values))
While I'm at it, a present for foom, 2.26.119 will do its best to avoid resolving pathnames at all if *resolve-symlinks* is nil (please test with your setting).
Does it also fix the issue with the asdf-utils package name conflict?
Which way do you want the conflict resolved? The current resolution is that asdf-utils.asd is an empty system that depends on asdf-driver.asd, and asdf-driver has the nickname asdf-utils, and exports about everything useful that asdf-utils used to; I omitted a few things that have changed name, but I can provide compatibility functions with the previous backward API if there's a demand.
If you think it's nicer to NOT have the same name, and/or to have asdf-utils a proxy package that imports and re-exports select symbols from asdf-driver, everything is possible.
