[asdf-devel] Changes to ASDF for LW6

[Chun Tian (binghe)]

Hello, David

First, what you're talking here is not LispWorks 6.0 specific, but happens in all LispWorks versions.

Second, you're using ASDF in a wrong way. I assume your final goal is to automatically load some ASDF-based CL packages when LispWorks starts up. This can be done by putting forms as below into your ".lispworks" file:

  (compile-file "asdf.lisp" :load t) ; or just (load "asdf") if you have already compile it into fasl.
  (pushnew ... asdf:*central-registry*)
  (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :xxx)

What you changed in asdf.lisp will cause a few symbols not being exported any more. Wrong.

Simple. Effective. It works.
