The latest cffi release does not install cleanly with asdf-install
I guess that's why I wouldn't recommend it. It pulls way too many dependencies, tries to compile every system in advance, most developers don't use it themselves, etc. I agree that a repository/system stable release is useful but I don't think asdf-install is an adequate solution.
In any case, by the time asdf-install fails, it has already downloaded all of the dependencies required by CFFI, so it's somewhat usable.
as Stefil is not on cliki and can not be installed. Can this get fixed ?
I did add it to cliki at one point, but it depends on Swank. I'm not sure how to add the latter to cliki. If you have a solution, please go ahead and fix it.
