cl-launch extracts the .asd file from cl-launch.sh, and thus doesn't include it in its git. Usually it's extracted by the Makefile's target source or install_source, but we try to keep the git checkout pristine except for the build/ directory (though, unhappily, test/ is also touched, and even the main asdf/ directory, by some test and release scripts).
The asdf-tools script has its own defsystem "cl-launch/dispatch" to work around that.
What are you trying to do? You may want to make -C ext/cl-launch source, or to emulate the defsystem used by asdf-tools.
Sorry about the last. Wrestling with auto-correct on the iPad.
The error I got WAS from using the defsystem in asdf-tools, trying to load asdf-tools into a CL REPL in SLIME.
When I try to do this cl-scripting/commands depends on cl-launch/dispatch, which cannot be found by ASDF.
If an ASD file must be generated from the Makefile, then ASDF *must do this without manual invocation of make*. The whole claim of the minimakefile was that the scripting could be moved to CL, and the architecture of cl-launch seems to break this.
Will you please either fix cl-launch so that it can auto-run make, if that's possible, or abandon the "pristine" git checkout?
Otherwise cl-launch foils the very intent of the minimakefile.
Thank you,
Robert

I tried to load the asdf tools interactively, under SLIME, and they fail to launch, although everything seems to run from make.
I get this error:
Component "cl-launch/dispatch" not found, required by #<PACKAGE-INFERRED-SYSTEM "cl-scripting/commands">
and, indeed:
~/lisp/asdf/ext/cl-launch $ find . -name '*.asd' ~/lisp/asdf/ext/cl-launch $
I see this:
~/lisp/asdf/ext/cl-launch $ git status HEAD detached at 220b8ca nothing to commit, working directory clean ~/lisp/asdf/ext/cl-launch $
Is this another oddity of git submodules? Is the version of cl-launch in our git repo not sufficiently up-to-date?
Actually, when I look at xcvb/cl-launch, there is no cl-launch.asd there, either.
This is crippling my ability to fix 1532464
