Re: [asdf-devel] ASDF improvements from ECL

Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll writes:

When I find time, in a week or so, I will try to produce a set of patches for the following things:

• A new function that creates a sorted list of module dependencies

wrapping around TRAVERSE This function should produce the same result irrespectively of what has been loaded or compiled.

• Building on that, a new file, asdf-ecl.lisp that provides new

operations for building standalone executables, fasls and other niceties with ECL.

• A logging facility for ASDF, with a bit more cleaned up interface.
• A test operation that builds on the logging facility and which can

be completed by any test framework.

I'll happily try anything you provide for the last two points. Last time, you said it's a proof-on-concept and didn't make it sound like you want people to test it out.

As ASDF uses git now, you can easily create your own branch, so to make it easier for people to try it.
