Could anyone please enlighten me on the reason for this change?
Read the thread "Make it possible to keep FASL files in source directory"
Ah, that explains a lot. Thank for fixing it, i too have software that depends on swank being available after loading the system definition.
There's an ASDF system called 'swank' - shouldn't loading this system enable swank in my image? Isn't loading thw swank package the whole point of the ASDF file?
Miracles ?
The official way to load swank is swank-loader.lisp. The ASDF file is primarily a convenience for SBCL users. I don't use the ASDF file and didn't update it properly before committing the change. It should work again in the newest version.
Sorry, but looking at the "Make it posssible ..." thread it seems as if you start reinventing ASDF :-)
Cheers & thanks RalfD
