(c) Asdf binary locations / asdf output locations
ABL was already merged into ASDF by gwking. While I think it was a generally good move, it fails (b), and I think can and should be redone better.
then, once asdf is configurable, is there any reason to not take abl out of the core?
Can you explain what is meant, exactly, by "take abl out of the core"?
none of the respective functions or variables are defined if just asdf.lisp is loaded.
For that matter, I don't know what "configurable" means in this context. "Reads an init file"? It was always configurable in the sense that I could load my asdf:*central-registry*, and I developed several utilities for configuring ASDF using only this rudimentary facility.
I'm not sure I follow this. I certainly do /not/ want to see us revert to the days when asdf-binary-locations was a separate download.
if by 'separate download' you mean a separate file, why not? if your requirement is, that it be in the same tar package, that makes sense.
I'm not trying to be a nitpicker here; I just want to avoid us talking by each other in case we don't agree about these terms.
