Hello ASDF devs,
I noticed recently that asdf/bundle:bundle-system has disappeared from ASDF. MKCL is/was a user of that function as a convenient entry point to the ASDF bundle facility.
My impression was that, along the lines of asdf:load-system and asdf:compile-system, asdf:bundle-system was playing a (small but) useful role as a convenience function. I will most probably simply have to fold that function inside the build code of MKCL if it is to be removed from ASDF for good.
Yet, to see a publicly exported function disappear between version 3.1.7.10 and 3.1.7.12 to most likely result in a 3.1.8 release gives pause. Are we really seeing here a public API code breaking modification being done between two patch level releases?
BTW, there seems to have been a few other MKCL related breakage issues introduced by the recent wave of changes. I will have to examine each one in turn...
Cheers,
JCB
