Oops, the website is out of date. We really ought to fix that.
I just added this FAQ to the manual (in doc/asdf.texinfo):
@subsection ``How can I wholly disable the compiler output cache?''
To permanently disable the compiler output cache for all future runs of ASDF, you can:
@example mkdir -p ~/.config/common-lisp/asdf-output-translations.conf.d/ echo ':disable-cache' > ~/.config/common-lisp/asdf-output-translations.conf.d/99-disable-cache.conf @end example
This assumes that you didn't otherwise configure the ASDF files (if you did, edit them again), and don't somehow override the configuration at runtime with a shell variable (see below) or some other runtime command (e.g. some call to @code{asdf:initialize-output-translations}).
To disable the compiler output cache in Lisp processes run by your current shell, try (assuming @code{bash} or @code{zsh}):
@example export ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS=/: @end example
To disable the compiler output cache just in the current Lisp process, use (after loading ASDF but before using it):
@example (asdf:initialize-output-translations "/:") @end example

Hello ASDF developers,
I just upgraded my version of ASDF to 1.661, more or less the latest and greatest.
I would like to know how to turn off the compiler output cache that ASDF now uses.
In the currently available manual (on the web site) there is a mention of variable *centralize-lisp-binaries* and a few other variables that would control that area of ASDF. But *centralize-lisp-binaries* is no where to be found in the current source code. The manual obviously lags significantly behind the evolution of the code...
So how does one turn off the compiler output cache in this new version of ASDF?
Thanks,
