I must admit that after four hours fighting with this I am right now a bit pissed off, so please forgive the tone of the message.<br><br>ASDF has introduced a new caching system which alters the names of all output files. This is making me mad because I am trying to implement pre-built ASDF components for ECL  and ASDF insists on changing the value of output-files and input-files, looking for those prebuilt files at the location of the cache.<br>
<br>What I have added so far is an extension to the system class, with hardcoded locations for prebuilt files (see below), so that I can store a single file<br clear="all"><br>$ cat ~/lib/ecl-10.3.1/serve-event.asd <br><br>
(DEFSYSTEM &quot;serve-event&quot; :CLASS ASDF::PREBUILT-SYSTEM :LIB &quot;SYS:serve-event&quot; :COMPONENTS ((:COMPILED-FILE &quot;serve-event&quot;)))<br><br>Now the problem is that when I try to use these systems ASDF insists on translating the library file pathname &quot;SYS:serve-event&quot; to a cached name which does not exist. I have tried adding a TRUENAME around the output of OUTPUT-FILES, so that the return value reflects the full path, but ASDF insists in changing the name. I have tried hardcoding a system location, like SBCL does, but ASDF insists on appending its own translation<br>
<br>&gt; (asdf::output-translations)<br><br>((#P&quot;/Users/jjgarcia/lib/ecl-10.3.1/&quot; #P&quot;/Users/jjgarcia/lib/ecl-10.3.1/&quot;)<br> (#P&quot;/**/*.*&quot;<br>  #P&quot;/Users/jjgarcia/.cache/common-lisp/ecl-10.3.1-darwin-x86/**/*.*&quot;))<br>
<br>Is there no rational way to prevent the translation of system directories without breaking the cache system?<br><br>(defclass prebuilt-system (system)<br>  ((static-library :accessor prebuilt-system-static-library :initarg :lib)))<br>
