Re: [asdf-devel] :here directive fails

:here refers to *here-directory*, but when the source-registry form isn't found in a directory, what is that *here-directory* supposed to mean?

If what you want is ,(uiop:getcwd), you should probably specify it explicitly, same thing if you actually mean (uiop:pathname-directory-pathname (uiop:load-pathname)). That's the portable thing to do, except that it's possibly not THAT portable to Windows, where IIUC every device has its current directory.

Hi,

is

(asdf:initialize-source-registry '(:source-registry (:directory (:here "asd")) :ignore-inherited-configuration))

still a valid call to make?

I am getting the error

NIL fell through ETYPECASE expression. Wanted one of ((EQL :USER-CACHE) (EQL :HERE) (EQL :HOME) (EQL :ROOT) CONS STRING PATHNAME).

Running this through git bisect tells me

that the last working commit is

commit 61192882b468b74a7f5fbf810e138b94db5fdd2a Merge: f4a7eac 610ca23 Author: Robert P. Goldman rpgoldman@gmail.com Date: Tue Jan 8 13:16:34 2013 -0600

Merge branch 'master' of

ssh://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/public_html/asdf

The next commit then has a broken build and the next two commits fail with the above error, as does the current master.

I will put a summary of those commits below.

Also, tweak build to reflect recent refactoring of asdf.
WIP of define-package work needed for clean upgrade (still broken).
