[asdf-devel] :here directive fails

[Faré]

:here refers to *here-directory*, but when the source-registry form
isn't found in a directory, what is that *here-directory* supposed to
mean?

If what you want is ,(uiop:getcwd), you should probably specify it
explicitly, same thing if you actually mean
(uiop:pathname-directory-pathname (uiop:load-pathname)). That's the
portable thing to do, except that it's possibly not THAT portable to
Windows, where IIUC every device has its current directory.

Procrastination is great. It gives me a lot more time
to do things that I'm never going to do.
