Hey,
How does this differ from the "Monthly-or-so" tests that Quicklisp does with cl-test-grid? Is there anything beyond `make test-lisp`, or is this a simple "try to build the ASDF master branch on Linux/x64 and report if it fails"?
For example, I notice that they used sbcl-1.0.58 in the last test[1] . What issues did you have with those earlier versions that were'fixed' in 1.1.13? Is there a report of your testing available that I could look at beyond a quick email?
Beyond that, looks good!
Thanks,
Drew Crampsie

Dear list,
I've been meaning to find out what lisp compilers/interpreters are effectively supported by current ASDF, to the point where they pass `make test-lisp` without a single (potentially harmless error), such as those stemming e.g. from unexpected warnings. I’ve now gotten around to a bit of testing. For future reference, on a recent Linux, with ASDF 3.1.7.7, the answer is as follows:
ABCL: 1.2.0 (2013-06-01) or later looks good(*) Allegro CL: 10.0 Express Edition looks good(**) CCL: 1.10 (2014-09-12) or later looks good(***) CLISP: 2.49 (2010-07-07) looks good; hg checkout segfaults in asdf-pathname-test.script CMUCL: 20e (2013-09-28) or later looks good(+) ECL: 16.0.0 (2015-08-28) or later looks good LispWorks: HobbyistDV/Professional/Enterprise edition of 7.0 (2015-05-05) would probably look good(++1) LispWorks: Professional edition of 6.1 (and presumably others) currently emit an unexpected warning(++2) MKCL: 1.1.9 hangs in test-try-refinding.script; git checkout looks good SBCL: 1.1.13 (2013-10-31) or later looks good(+++)
(*) sys::concatenate-fasls requires 1.2.0 or later (**) 9.0 can no longer be downloaded so that I could not test with earlier versions (***) 1.9 and earlier are broken on recent versions of linux, see http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/ticket/1208 (+) 20c/20d has known CLOS issues. (++1) I do not have access to them, so I cannot say for sure. The Hobbyist and Personal edition lack application delivery and image saving functionality, respectively. The tests put those features to the test and currently fail if they’re unavailable. (++2) causing `make test-lisp` to fail; This started with ASDF 3.1.7.5; 3.1.7.4 was fine. (+++) sb-debug:print-backtrace requires 1.1.5 or later, bundles require 1.1.13 or later
