Hey All;
Hope somebody out there is listening.
FYI, in file mcclim.asd, in the defsystem for :clim, there is a dependency on :goatee-core (good) but also a dependency on file presentation-history within goatee (bad). AFAICT short version is that this screws up under later versions of ASDF2 and all versions of ASDF3 - creating a cycle in depedencies that causes McCLIM to be reloaded unnecessarily. This was particularly troublesome in my prototype quicklisp GUI, which borked whenever anything based upon McCLIM got loaded...
Eliding the dependency seems to do the right thing. I have done it in my fork of McCLIM (bleeding-edge branch), but I am obviously git-challenged, have not adhered to git best practices, and have not issued any pull requests...
Would like to contribute more fully, and being indoctrinated in correct git workflow by whomever is leading the effort...
I know nothing of McCLIM development, but I just updated my quiclisp and loaded McCLIM just fine. Am I misunderstanding your problem?
I guess Xach much know where to pull down McCLIM from in order for quicklisp to work. If that is on github I'd suggest you open an Issue on that github project.
