[asdf-devel] Fwd: Re: [Openmcl-devel] asdf 2 imported into trunk

[Faré]

I don't know the status of ASDF-INSTALL.

It looks like ASDF-INSTALL is being maintained outside ASDF.

We probably should remove the asdf-install and cclan files from our repository.

Since ASDF-INSTALL has its own repository, they should probably
#+asdf2 ify any compatibility changes. Sorry about that.

What other programs use deep ASDF internals and should be checked for breakage?
