This is pretty much the same for me. I had a workaround for configuration in ASDF 1: 1. ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS worked for me (decentralized binaries) and 2. I developed a limited clone of `find` in portable common lisp called ASD-FINDER that you point at a directory and it returns a list of all the subdirectories that contain .asd files (and it supports prune). Then, for each of my projects, I had a configuration function (e.g., PROJECT-FOO), which would invoke the ASD-finder to set up asdf:*central-registry* appropriately for that project. I would start up lisp, invoke the project function for the project I was working on at the moment, and then be ready to go. I haven't yet determined what's the appropriate way to replace this for ASDF2, so still use it. > > > >>> 2- Lack *-user mailing list and need of subscription for questions.

So should we just set up an asdf-help mailing list? _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
