[asdf-devel] Please test for ASDF 3.0.2

[Chun Tian (binghe)]

Hi Faré

I want to ask ... do we still support MCL (Macintosh Common Lisp)?

I was using ASDF 2 (early releases) on MCL for many months, but today I tried to check out ASDF 3 from GIT, after I run "make" to build a "asdf.lisp" and compile it, I got following errors:

? (compile-file #p"Server HD:Users:binghe:Lisp:asdf:build:asdf.lisp")
;Compiler warnings for "Server HD:Users:binghe:Lisp:asdf:build:asdf.lisp" :
;   :LAMBDA compiler warning with args (&OPTIONAL), in WITH-UPGRADABILITY.
> Error: Congratulations for trying XCVB on an operating system

>        Now you port it.
> While executing: DETECT-OS
> Type Command-. to abort.
See the Restarts… menu item for further choices.

Is this a known issue? And if I can fix it, do you accept patches to support MCL again?
