Richard makes a good point here. The problem is that while ASDF says,
and I think correctly, that system definers shouldn't make decisions about installation, it does not provide any hooks for installers to provide information about installation.
Yes; Richard and Nikodemus are both right about this. Though I do think that there are valid cases for wanting a system definition to say "don't compile" as well (e.g. asdf-install could say "don't compile sb-posix").
I've gotta run; more later. -- Gary Warren King, metabang.com Cell: (413) 559 8738 Fax: (206) 338-4052 gwkkwg on Skype * garethsan on AIM * gwking on twitter
