I can't merge it to master until I write a variant of defpackage that will make the thing survive hot upgrade, but it's already a major cleanup. For the first time ever, ASDF sources are well-organized and mostly readable — and they are much more correct/robust, too. > That sounds like it could be a very useful feature in general.

Also, I don't currently register fake/fallback systems for transcluded dependencies. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org If you don't like yourself, you *can't* like other people. — Robert Heinlein, "Time Enough For Love" _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
