Hi Faré I want to ask ... do we still support MCL (Macintosh Common Lisp)? I was using ASDF 2 (early releases) on MCL for many months, but today I tried to check out ASDF 3 from GIT, after I run "make" to build a "asdf.lisp" and compile it, I got following errors: ? (compile-file #p"Server HD:Users:binghe:Lisp:asdf:build:asdf.lisp") ;Compiler warnings for "Server HD:Users:binghe:Lisp:asdf:build:asdf.lisp" : ; :LAMBDA compiler warning with args (&OPTIONAL), in WITH-UPGRADABILITY.
Error: Congratulations for trying XCVB on an operating system that is neither Unix, nor Windows, nor even Genera. Now you port it. While executing: DETECT-OS Type Command-. to abort. See the Restarts… menu item for further choices. 1 >
Is this a known issue? And if I can fix it, do you accept patches to support MCL again? Regards, Chun Tian (binghe) 在 2013-6-14，2:02， Faré 写道：
Dear Lisp hackers,
next release of ASDF will be 3.0.2, and be done shortly by Robert Goldman. Please test.
Changes since 3.0.1:
* Tweaks to RUN-PROGRAM so it works better on ACL, and to RUN-SHELL-COMMAND so it's more backward-compatible.
* Tweaks for XCVB: better CFASL support on SBCL and easier default-encoding.
* Tweaks of TRAVERSE: have it always return a list of actions, deprecate it. Have OPERATE use MAKE-PLAN instead, that always returns a plan object.
* Fixes to debian package.
We're into tweaking, which is a good sign: it means the ASDF code base is stable indeed.
