Same here. I've got a pair of functions ASDF-RESCAN-PACKAGES and UPDATE-ASDF-REGISTRY to load and update a cache for asdf:*central-registry* in the ~/.*rc.lisp files.

For me it would be an easy and good enough solution, yes. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
