[asdf-devel] announce: asdf 1.351
This version adds `system-compile`, `system-load` and `system-test` as synonyms for the obvious `oos` analogues. It also mucks a bit with the website. In particular, there is a [getting started][gs] guide and the [manual][] has seen reformatting. [gs]: http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/getting-started.html [manual]: http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/manual.html comments much appreciated. -- Gary Warren King, metabang.com Cell: (413) 559 8738 Fax: (206) 338-4052 gwkkwg on Skype * garethsan on AIM * gwking on twitter
Suggestion: change to load-system, compile-system, etc. instead of system-FOO. The version with system- first is going to be a nuisance for people who use this a lot from the REPL w/ completion b/c it puts the common stuff first, instead of the distinctive.

Hi Robert,
Suggestion: change to load-system, compile-system, etc. instead of system-FOO. The version with system- first is going to be a nuisance for people who use this a lot from the REPL w/ completion b/c it puts the common stuff first, instead of the distinctive.
That's a good point; OTOH, I like the conceptual grouping of `system- foo`. Doesn't your completion let you type, e.g., #\s #\- #\c [complete] to get the symbol? After all, sense `compile` and `load` are already CL symbols, you'd need to type #\l #\o #\a #\d #\- [complete] or #\l #\- #\s [complete] in any case. what do you think?

except with fuzzy completion that scores consecutive matching characters exponentially, so typing 'load' brings up both versions on the top wherever 'load' is in them... but i still prefer load-system because in english you would say 'load the/a system' not the other way around. -- attila

No, you say "hey system, load" <smile> You and Robert have both convinced me. I'll make the change. -- Gary Warren King, metabang.com Cell: (413) 559 8738 Fax: (206) 338-4052 gwkkwg on Skype * garethsan on AIM * gwking on twitter

This seems to work really poorly on ELI, at least. :-( [you get completions, but way too many to be useful, and there's no good way aside from the mouse of choosing between them] That's why I use my :als (asdf-load-system), :acs, :ats, on allegro... My preference is for the operation first, anyway, because compile-system seems like compile-file, but system-compile... Not huge for me; I don't expect I'll ever use these myself. I just want to see one source of ASDF-whining go away. Cheers, R
