Hi, James
Thanks, most of your patch has been committed.
that's nice. from what i can see, there's still (at least) one function missing: something to get the local ip number. mcl calls it local-interface-ip-nuumber, clozure has a list of ip interface descriptors from which one could choose (see ccl::%get-ip-interfaces).
The only left part is the "fully qualified system name". Why it works? Which version of ASDF support that?
i wasn't expecting they would work elsewhere. i do things that way since, at this point there are over 200 .asd definitions in my source tree and it's not sensible to track each with it's own entry in some registry. in order to avoid that, i implemented a hierarchical search function and add it to the asdf system search functions. i sent gary king a version of it a while ago, but he didn't think it worth while, so i just make local changes. i read lately, that they're now considering something similar, so i may try again.
Please do. I think it should be incorporated as a contrib.
