: Dave Cooper I have a little utility which emits the .asd files for me, with a form like:
`(asdf:defsystem ,(something-to-make-my-system-name) :description "blah" … )
If you print that form while *package* is bound to something that uses ASDF, (such as ASDF-USER, on 2.31), then it will omit the prefix.
Or should I put some (in-package ...) statement at the top of the .asd file, and use plain defsystem with no package prefix?
: stassats You don't need to have prefixes already, when .asd is loaded ASDF creates a temporary package, which uses ASDF package.
In ASDF1 and ASDF2, indeed, .asd files are read from a temporary package ASDF~D that uses ASDF. In ASDF3, we're using a permanent package ASDF-USER instead, and usual hygiene rules apply.
