Re: [asdf-devel] Bug#560781: (require :package) no longer works for CLC-managed packages
2010/1/20 Peter Van Eynde <pvaneynd@mailworks.org>:
instead of /etc/common-lisp/source-registry.conf I would like to see /etc/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d
where instead of having one file that you might have to edit in post-installation scripts we would have a directory where packages can just drop files into. Just like we have /etc/crontab and /etc/cron.d/* on Debian.
This would make my and I suspect others work much easier.
Makes perfect sense. I'll add that on top of my TODO list for ASDF. Would that replace source-registry.conf altogether, or override it, or be overridden by it?
Since ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS is now part of ASDF, I suppose it could be similarly configured, and CLC could and should "just" use that. What do you think?
I just noticed this in the manual and need to read it with more attention later. Ideally I would like it to handle also 'cached' fasl files from a trusted system user. Would it be able to do this too?
I probably would do it, if we coax it to our will. Definitely possible. I admit I never looked into ABL myself, having only ever used but my own variant (included in cl-launch) that itself is derived from an earlier CLC and works well with CLC. Hopefully, moving ABL into ASDF was a good move, and we should get the configuration of it right.
So load from /var/cache/common-lisp-controller/cl-builder/<implementation>/... or /var/cache/common-lisp-controller/<userid>/<implementation>/... or compile from /usr/share/common-lisp-controller/source/... to /var/cache/common-lisp-controller/<userid>/<implementation>/...
Yes. All the while, the default might be something like ~/.cache/common-lisp/<same-tag-as-slime>/...

OK, the ASDF my repo now supports source-registry.conf.d as well as source-registry.conf. I'll commit it upstream by next week unless I get negative feedback, and hopefully after including some tests. Note that at least clisp seems confused when matching *.* or (make-pathname :type :wild :name :wild) by refusing to match names without a dot in them, which is unfortunate. So it's better to have a name in .conf or some such under that directory. We'll probably need the same kind of thing for ABL configuration.

Or perhaps we could consider it conformant, and add the required logical host translations for dotless files? I use the following function to build my translations. Notice that what I'd expect is in the "other" branch, but unfortunately, even the _order_ matters for some implementations to correctly translate. (defun make-translations (host logical-dir physical-dir &optional file- type) (mapcar (lambda (item) (destructuring-bind (logical-tail physical-tail) item (list (apply (function make-pathname) :host host :directory `(:absolute ,@logical-dir :wild- inferiors) logical-tail) (format nil "~A**/~A" physical-dir physical-tail)))) #+clisp (if file-type `(((:name :wild :type ,file-type :version nil) ,(format nil "*.~(~A~)" file-type))) '(((:name :wild :type :wild :version nil) "*.*") ((:name :wild :type nil :version nil) "*"))) #+sbcl (if file-type `(((:name :wild :type ,file-type :version :wild) ,(format nil "*.~(~A~)" file-type))) '(((:name :wild :type :wild :version :wild) "*.*"))) #+allegro (if file-type `(((:name :wild :type ,file-type :version nil) ,(format nil "*.~(~A~)" file-type))) '(((:name :wild :type nil :version nil) "*") ((:name :wild :type :wild :version nil) "*.*"))) #-(OR CLISP sbcl) (if file-type `(((:name :wild :type ,file-type :version nil) ,(format nil "*.~(~A~)" file-type)) ((:name :wild :type ,file-type :version :wild) ,(format nil "*.~(~A~)" file-type))) '(((:name :wild :type nil :version nil) "*") ((:name :wild :type :wild :version nil) "*.*") ((:name :wild :type :wild :version :wild) "*.*"))))) ;; Notice that clhs logical-pathname-translations says that: ;; "From-wildcard is a logical pathname whose host is host." ;; Therefore the host must already exist, ;; so we must first create it by setting its translations to NIL.
