i wanted to answer that you shouldn't be afraid, because it's implemented through an entry in asdf:*system-definition-search-functions*, but then i saw that it's not anymore, and i couldn't even find out in 5 minutes how ASDF finds SBCL contribs.
It's currently implemented as a source-registry wrapper, and is resiliant to your using :ignore-inherited-configuration. See asdf/source-registry:wrapping-source-registry. You're right that a system-definition-search-function might have been nicer (or then again not). If anyone cares enough to think hard about it, explain why it's indeed better, and write a patch, we could probably simplify asdf a little bit (not THAT much either). —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Maybe violence is sometimes useful.
