I made a mistaken in the original post: the cl-* (source) packages do propagate their input. So source packages _do_ work as expected.
What we'd like to do improve here is _not_ propagate the inputs and instead refer directly to them in the store. I tried generating and .asd which would do the following --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (asdf:load-asd ORIGINAL-ASD) (push INPUT-PATH-TO-SOURCE asdf:*central-registry*) ; more push of all inputs here. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The problem is that we can't name the .asd like the original or ASDF will complain about circular dependencies. The only way I can think about is to add the "push" lines to the original .asd itself (at the end should be fine). Not sure how I feel about modifying the original .asd, seems brittle. There may be a better way. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
