1- I think we should proceed and add a default path anyway. ~/cl/ and/or ~/common-lisp/ sound fine to me, and I've seen no one complain about that. You could make it ~/local/common-lisp/ if you're into larger paths.
I think I will put "asdf" into the pathname, per our earlier discussion, so that we don't step on pre-existing paths.
~/asdf-local-paths/
would work for me.
I really don't like including asdf in the name, especially since other tools than asdf exist and may exist in the future, and will want to share the common-lisp source code hierarchy.
~/local/common-lisp/ has the advantage of being clutter-limiting, XDG-like if not strictly XDG, clean, etc., and just one character longer than your proposal.
~/common-lisp/ is slightly more pretentious, but probably works, too.
~/cl/ is taking a lot of familiarity, and maybe I should keep it my personal configuration rather than a recommended default.
Squawks sooner rather than later, please.
Squawk, squawk!
