If you prefer, I believe you could bundle prove to avoid the Quicklisp dependency, perhaps as a git submodule…</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">It is certainly a way forward to consider bundling PROVE, but since ABCL<br>
already has a mechanism to install Quicklisp from the network by using its<br>
unique capability to CL:OPEN a given URI, the better way forward might be:<br>
<br>
0) improve the handler for the condition to introspect the message from the<br>
condition signalled via ASDF<br>
<br>
1) introspect the existence of Quicklisp, installing if not present<br>
<br>
(require :abcl-contrib)<br>
(asdf:load-system :quicklisp-abcl)<br>
<br>
2) then load and execute ABCL/TEST/ANSI/COMPILED<br>
(asdf:test-system :abcl/test/ansi/compile)<br>
<br>
As a first stab, I will remove the reference to PROVE in the abcl.asd<br>
definition, as this shouldn’t be happening as the :DEPENDS-ON (:PROVE) stanza<br>
is a sibling dependency tree as near as I can tell. I should swag [Ionna’s<br>
code][asd-graph] to visualize the dependencies to see if this is indeed the<br>
case.<br>
<br>
In any event, I *really8* don’t want to mess with git submodules: I’d add a “vendor”<br>
directory before submitting to that mess of a lack of engineering…<br>
