What other former ABL behaviour do you want me to give examples for?
A behavior that, like ABL, creates a subdirectory for each different lisp implementation.
Would that be
(asdf:initialize-output-translations '(:asdf-output-translations (:root) (:current-directory :implementation-type))
?
More like
(asdf:initialize-output-translations `(:asdf-output-translations (:root (,(truename *default-pathname-defaults*) :implementation-type))))
What happens to this as the value of *default-pathname-defaults* changes over time?
I guess I don't understand the role of the (truename *default-pathname-defaults*) here.
Does this mean that A-O-T by default always does the equivalent of *centralize-binaries* in A-B-L?
or if you want to only redirect output for what's in the current self-contained directory, and want it to be inside a predictable subdirectory thereof, you can use:
(let ((cwd (truename *default-pathname-defaults*))) (asdf:initialize-output-translations `(:asdf-output-translations (,cwd (,cwd "asdf-output" :implementation-type)))))
Question: for people who have been using ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS for a while without a deep understanding (e.g., colleagues of mine who just did what I told them to), would it be possible to provide
(ASDF:ABL-COMPATIBILITY-MODE)
as an alias for the former?
That would allow an easy
#+ASDF2 (ASDF:ABL-COMPATIBILITY-MODE) #-ASDF2 (ASDF:OOS 'ASDF:LOAD-OP :ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS)
in lisp init files.
