a. put logical hosts on asdf&#39;s search path and unify the pathnames<br>
for found system definitions with them.<br></blockquote><div><br>Sorry, but from the paragraph that you wrote I do not follow completely the logic of what it is achieved. In any case the sentence &quot;put logical hosts on asdf&#39;s search path&quot; implies that ASDF has to be there for the pathnames to exist, while I was advocating a mechanism that did not depend on a central registry and, most of all, that did not depend on the user setting up translations. <br clear="all">
</div></div><br>I hope you understand that my requisites, so to say, are flexible, and the motivation is to reach an even easier to use, more transparent way of building Lisp components where ASDF is better hidden -- much like a shared library loader, or a C linker, is hiding a lot of complexity from casual users.<br>
