asdf: sans version


In pathname-sans-name+type, I assume you want it sans version either.
Otherwise you might get surprising results in implementations
supporting version numbers.

Did you test this?  If so, under which lisp did this give you what you
expected?

Cheers,

asdf.texinfo


In the CVS repository of cclan, there's no Makefile to process asdf.texinfo.

Regretfully, I'm not a user of tex. Could you please indicate me the
command and options to use to generate the doc (pdf, info and perhaps
html)?

I tried something, but the postscript I got is ill formated and
painful to read.

For PDF try:

  texi2pdf asdf.texinfo

For Info:

  makeinfo asdf.texinfo

For PostScript:

  texi2dvi asdf.texinfo
  dvips asdf.dvi

Argh!

Looks like if you just write that, it overwrites asdf.texinfo with
makeinfo output.

    makeinfo -v -o asdf.info asdf.texinfo

does what I want.

Thank you.

A minor enhancement for asdf-install and a bug fix


First, I hope this is the right place to report bugs on asdf-install.

The bug is in get-env-var.  It substitues - for _, when it should be
the other way around for cmucl.

The enhancement is to allow the user to specify the name and/or
location of gnu tar.  Solaris tar doesn't support the -C or -z
options, so gnu tar needs to be in the user's path or a different name
is needed.  (I use "gtar" as the name.)

A simple patch is appended.

Ray

P.S.  I'm not subscribed to this list.

What is the recommended package for ASD files?

I've seen folks define a package that uses ASDF and I've seen folks
say (in-package :asdf) at the top of their .asd file. Which is better
style? (It sort of seems like there ought to be an ASDF-USER package
that reexports all the public symbols from ASDF but maybe that's
overkill.)

On the contrary, I find it would be better to have a ASDF-USER than to
use ASDF, and slightly better to have a ASDF-USER than to define a
*-SYSTEM package for each system loaded.

The former.  See http://www.cliki.net/ASDF%20System

ASDF-USER is an interesting idea but I don't think it'd fly: there may
be multiple asdf systems in the same Lisp (indeed, if asdf-install really
takes off there could be loads), which may define conflicting component
types and operations.  It seems to me that the package system is exactly
the right tool to resaolve this namespace issue
