Hi,
ASDF already allows that, so it's not clear to me how you're trying to do.
I have the following in ~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf
(:source-registry (:directory (:home "lisp/systems")) :ignore-inherited-configuration)
I symlink .asd files into ~/lisp/systems/ and ASDF loads them without issues.
Hi,
I wonder if it possible that you would accept this change which allows finding of a system by a symbolicly linked ".asd" file. I've been running with this patch for about 10 years without issue. I'm sorry for not having test cases and documentation, but it seems time passing won't help that. I know this is probably a pointless change for everyone besides me, being the only user of my software, so I quite understand if you don't want to add it. Anyway, many thanks for your years of work on perhaps the most used CL software ever.
