Re: [asdf-devel] dependency bug?

ASDF is behaving in a way I find mysterious. Maybe I've found a bug, but more likely I just don't understand ASDF dependencies.

To demonstrate the problem, create the three files below.

========== bug.asd ==========

(cl:in-package #:common-lisp-user)

(defpackage #:bug-system
  (:use #:common-lisp #:asdf))

(in-package #:bug-system)

(defsystem bug
  :components
  ((:cl-source-file "bug1")
   (:cl-source-file "bug2"
    :in-order-to ((load-op (load-op "bug1"))
                  (compile-op (load-op "bug1"))))))

If I understand correctly what you want to achieve (that "bug1.lisp" is compiled and loaded before "bug2.lisp"), then this is usually done by

(defsystem bug :components ((:file "bug1") (:file "bug2" :depends-on ("bug1"))))

Or alternatively,

(defsystem bug :serial t ; sequential dependency graph along textual order :components ((:file "bug1") (:file "bug2")))

(s/:file/:cl-source-file/g if you want so but that distinction is usually not needed.)
