Values in *CENTRAL-REGISTRY* are evaluated before use, so you can use this: (pushnew 'cl:*default-pathname-defaults* asdf:*central-registry*) It worked the same in ASDF 1. > The question is "why do you want to do this, instead of using Fare's > language or configuring by setting asdf:*central-registry*?"

Even pushing the path to *central-registry* is cumbersome. It's easier to ,cd in slime.
