You should update the README with instructions on how to use this feature, i.e. do git submodule update and export ASDF_DEVEL_SOURCE_REGISTRY, or whatever the trick is. >>> If you can, please pull an update, checkout the experimental-submodules >>> branch, and see if it configures properly.

PS: meanwhile, Christoph Egger just blessed the asdf 3.1.3 and cl-launch 4.1 packages into debian unstable. Yay. In a few years, Common Lisp scripting will be universally available. How funny would it be that 10 years from now, Perl is a forgotten scripting language, but CL is doing strong? —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
