This effectively disables the customized image feature, which I believe is not used by anyone anyway (how does one even build a customized image?).
This leaves c-l-c as a mere pre-compiler of ASDF. (c-l-c used to also be a pre-configurer of ASDF, which was essential to make ASDF1 useful, but is now builtin to ASDF2, admittedly no little thanks to the precedent of c-l-c itself). Once again, at this point I believe the community would be better served if instead we made ASDF2 universally available through (require :asdf). > I am not going to merge them until other members agree with us.

As far as debian-supported common lisp implementations go, that leaves GCL(cvs) and CLISP to be bundled with ASDF. We could patch the sources so that they include ASDF as a base module, and send the patch upstream for inclusion - or first try to convince upstream to do the hard work.

"I think not," Rene replied, and promptly disappeared. _______________________________________________ pkg-common-lisp-devel mailing list pkg-common-lisp-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-common-lisp-devel
