so, let's say i have an already initialized source registry, and from my .sbclrc i want to add one more directory to it.
currently this is what i kludged together, but it stinks:
(asdf:initialize-source-registry (append '(:source-registry) (butlast asdf:*source-registry-parameter*) `((:directory ,(merge-pathnames "whatever" (user-homedir-pathname)))) '(:inherit-configuration)))
or am i completely backwards with the cart, and i should just forget .sbclrc and use ~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d/ for this?
the reason i prefer calling initialize-source-registry because then we can commit the right form into our env repo and the team members can have the exact same environment with less effort (just loading one repo-tracked file from .sbclrc).
Sorry, why is it that you put in the line with *source-registry-parameter* instead of simply adding the new directory?
BTW, for exactly your use case -- making it easy for people to put configurations in a revision control system, and have an entire team get their configuration that way, we added :HERE to the DSL for initializing the source registry.
[I feel compelled to disclose that because we have so much legacy code in that form, I still use the variable asdf:*central-registry* for my own configuration purposes, with an in-house library that essentially duplicates the function of Faré's directory traversal.]
Faré, why is it that *source-registry-parameter* is exported? It seems like a cache, and I don't understand why the user would need access to it.
Best, r
