Sorry, why is it that you put in the line with *source-registry-parameter* instead of simply adding the new directory?
reading your answer makes me think i was unclear, sorry!
my situation is that i have a piece of code that collects directories and then initializes the registry by calling i-s-r.
and then i have another piece of code later on where i would like to add one more directory to the registry.
i couldn't find any other way to do that than the kludge in my previous mail.
BTW, for exactly your use case -- making it easy for people to put configurations in a revision control system, and have an entire team get their configuration that way, we added :HERE to the DSL for initializing the source registry.
thanks for the note! it will probably come handy when i get to port my registry initialization to the new way.
but first i wanted to get an impression whether i want/should/need to do that. with your mail i'm leaning more towards a yes now, which renders the original question somewhat moot.
[I feel compelled to disclose that because we have so much legacy code in that form, I still use the variable asdf:*central-registry* for my own configuration purposes, with an in-house library that essentially duplicates the function of Faré's directory traversal.]
same here... :)
