I have a system sitting in ~/quicklisp/local-dists and a development version sitting in ~/.../lisp-development/
I would like ASDF to open the latter one. I use asdf:load-system.
I cd to the development directory and start slime there. (asdf:load-system ...) still tries to fetch the version in the quicklisp directory.
One easy way:
(push '*default-pathname-defaults* asdf:*central-registry*)
I disrecommend pushing '*default-pathname-defaults* into the *central-registry* — that makes system loading less predictable, depending on the binding of this variable.
Instead, I recommend pushing an actual pathname object (that may happen to be the current value of *d-p-d* or of (uiop:getcwd), if you insist), so that the value remains well-defined in the face of rebinding of the variable.
Or better, edit your ~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf and register your software there. Or for temporary stuff, export a CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY, or call asdf:initialize-source-registry with a parameter.
So something like
(DEFUN ADD-SOURCE-DIRECTORY-TO-ASDF (DIR) (ASDF:INITIALIZE-SOURCE-REGISTRY `(:source-registry (:DIRECTORY ,DIR) :inherit-configuration)))
and
(ADD-SOURCE-DIRECTORY-TO-ASDF (uiop:getcwd)) ?
