Thoughts ? Will this be enough to satisfy ASDF ?
Not quite. I missed NORMALIZE-VERSION (ASDF attempting to be clever and doing all sorts of nasty DWIM stuff on version numbers). Attached patch would solve the problem, it seems. But then again, I don't really know what I'm doing. It wraps NORMALIZE-VERSION within a generic function which I can then specialize on my system, essentially bypassing normalization altogether, like this: (defmethod asdf/parse-defsystem:normalize-component-version ((system my-system) form &key pathname component parent) (declare (ignore pathname component parent)) form) -- My new Jazz CD entitled "Roots and Leaves" is out!
