I have pushed what I hope are substantial improvements to the ASDF manual, at least to the early parts of it.
Thanks! I pushed minor tweaks to it.
Faré: is it easily possible to push this to the web page using your makefile?
Yes: make website should do it, massively hacked from gwking's original, and converted to a CL script from shell. I don't have directory and/or file permissions on the appropriate directory of common-lisp.net to do that myself.
PS: I fixed your tagging script. You may want to: make fix-local-git-tags fix-remote-git-tags

I have pushed another quick set of modifications; all grammar and punctuation, with some chopping up by adding new subsections. In doing so, I stumbled on the following passage under Upgrading ASDF:
Starting with ASDF 3 (2.27 or later), this self-upgrade will be automatically attempted as the first step to any system operation, to avoid any possibility of a catastrophic attempt to self-upgrade in midflight.
It's not clear to me from the context what "this self-upgrade" refers to, nor how it's triggered.
Is this because all systems have an implicit requirement of :depends-on ASDF? So that when ASDF scans its registry it finds any new version and automagically updates it?
thx, R
