[armedbear-devel] ABCL and ASDF

[Faré]

Dear ABCL developers,

another bug in ABCL:

(defparameter *wild-file*
 (make-pathname :name :wild :type :wild :version :wild :directory nil))

(describe *wild-file*)
(describe (make-pathname :defaults *wild-file*))

Apparently, make-pathname fails to copy the version from the defaults.
ASDF currently works around this somehow.

PS: in a future ABCL release, please include ASDF 2.015.5 or later.
Maybe 2.016 will have been released by then.

The difference between a contemporary liberal and a socialist is that to a
liberal the most beautiful word in the English language is 'forbidden',
whereas to a socialist the most beautiful word is 'compulsory'.
