Dear ASDF developers, I've committed to *a new repo* a few ASDF hacks that I wrote. I'd like some of you to review and/or test it. I'd like to get it reviewed before I push those changes to the official repo. git clone http://common-lisp.net/project/xcvb/git/asdf.git cd asdf git diff -u -a -b 1f7690b49b73b499ff2bd2ad77ec23c273941814 60165185516e699d0daebd0b653e61b83e72d4e6 The main changes are: * Merged the ECL patch. Had to remove a #+ecl in a slot declaration, because the slot is used afterwards without #+ecl. * Limited support to upgrade from a previous installation (if you have old installations, please try to upgrade!). * Notably created an asdf.asd so you can try to (require :asdf) (pushnew "/path/to/asdf/" asdf:*central-registry*) (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf) * Some whitespace normalization (hence use -b in diff above). There are more things to do before we can declare asdf fully upgradable, but that's a first step. When all is done, there will be less pressure to synchronize with CL implementers to upgrade before a new feature can be relied upon. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/asdf/+bug/485687 Known issues (juanjo, help appreciated): $ ecl -eval "(require :asdf)" -load "asdf.lisp" ==> works $ ecl -eval "(require :asdf)" -eval "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf)" ==> fails ;;; Finished compiling /home/fare/cl/asdf/asdf.lisp. An error occurred during initialization: NIL is not of type HASH-TABLE.. Fails with both ECL 9.10.2 from debian and ECL 9.11.1 from a semi-recent clbuild.
