The way I install asdf 3.0.2.25 for trying to use it in production is:
1. git pull into my local asdf directory. 2. make (to make a single asdf.lisp file in asdf/build/) 3. copy this to quicklisp/asdf.lisp 4. rm -r quicklisp/cache 5. edit quicklisp/setup.lisp to say: (defvar *required-asdf-version* "3.0.2.25") 6. copy the uiop/ directory from local asdf/ into
quicklisp/local-projects/
7. restart the Lisp 8. load quicklisp/setup.lisp and (ql:register-local-projects)
Having done all this, the (asdf:system-source-directory :uiop) still returns nil, and uiop is not ending up in my monofasls which depend on it.
Am I doing it wrong?
It looks right, or at least defensible. Did you copy the contents of version.lisp-expr in uiop/ or a symlink that's now dangling? That could make a difference, though I would expect a more noisy failure.
So I went ahead and tried (load (compile-file "quicklisp/asdf.lisp")) before loading quicklisp/setup.lisp. And yes, I copied version.lisp.expr into quicklisp/local-projects/uiop/. To test that it wasn't ignoring the uiop in local-projects because it is the same version as what is already loaded, I even temporarily bumped the version number in that version.lisp-expr to 3.0.2.33. Still no dice -- I still get (asdf:system-source-directory :uiop) --> nil after loading the quicklisp/setup.lisp and (ql:register-local-projects) Quicklisp works in general after the upgrade. It just can't find the source directory (or any source directory) for :uiop. It's not crucial that I release with this latest 3.0.2.32, but I just bring up this issue in case it is actually a lurking asdf bug which needs to be shaken out before 3.0.3 release... -- My Best, Dave Cooper, Genworks Support david.cooper@genworks.com, dave.genworks.com(skype)
