Dear Lisp hackers,
apparently, Xach thinks the name "package-system" is a bad name for the quick-build compatible extension to ASDF that I implemented and is going to be released with ASDF 3.1 — see file package-system.lisp, its use in lisp-interface-library, and the description in the ASDF manual (doc/asdf.texinfo in the master branch). Basic idea: each file starts with a defpackage or define-package, the packages it use's or import-from's or shadowing-import-from's are detected, each package is mapped back to a system, that itself may be mapped to files under a package-system.
Before the release is the best time for renaming things. If you have a suggestion for a better name, now is the time to speak, not later.
* package-system * quick-build * system-whose-dependencies-are-deduced-from-defined-package-and-whose-pathname-is-deduced-from-its-name * one-package-one-file-one-system * not-quite-faslpath * gangnam-style
I suppose the constraints are that it should not be too long, yet somewhat descriptive and not too confusing. Failing that, a brand name.
