I agree except that ASDF doesn't require that the definition of foo be found in foo.asd or that bar.asd contain system bar. If we enforced this then we could say that find-system is a wrapper for a clever probe-file. Otherwise, we need to load definitions to make sure that things are happy. n'est pas? -- Gary Warren King, metabang.com Cell: (413) 559 8738 Fax: (206) 338-4052 gwkkwg on Skype * garethsan on AIM * gwking on twitter _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
