I've been forward-porting my ASDF-based swank loader for the last decade. I guess you'll get a PR soon :)
The problem is the pull request you mentioned is that it's one of those $#!@#$-backwards-compatibility sort of change. That sort of mindset yields very rewarding refactoring sessions, to be sure, but annoys everyone else. A PR implementing proper (but optional) loading via ASDF is IMO welcome.> Thanks, Luís

been there... that's why my slime locally uses asdf:apply-output-translations for a few years now.
slime used to be proudly ASDF free, but maybe that's something to reconsider, at least with an optional support.
this is what i'm running with (which i don't recommend for inclusion>> in this form):
(defun binary-pathname (src-pathname binary-dir) "Return the pathname where SRC-PATHNAME's binary should be compiled.">> + (declare (ignore binary-dir))
- #+asdf
- (asdf:apply-output-translations src-pathname)
- #-asdf (let ((cfp (compile-file-pathname src-pathname))) (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :name (pathname-name cfp) :type (pathname-type cfp)))))
but if the maintainers are open for this direction, then i may look>> into packaging up and testing a PR for integrating ASDF properly, and>> optionally.
and not forgetting this either: https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/282/%3E%3E currently swank can break in funny ways when used together with ASDF.>> e.g. :depends-on (:swank) can be a source of great bafflement when it>> reloads swank and undo's half of the contrib's, leaving some stuff crippled. and the .slime/fasl dir can also bite you when you thought>> you have deleted the fasl's, except one outlier.
