All ediware has been migrated to github by hhuebner, and cl-ppcre is here:
https://github.com/edicl/cl-ppcre
Please don't push the cl-ppcre source onto the master branch of asdf.

For the record, in xcvb, I called that directory dependencies/

PS: xcvb has seen no new feature since Summer 2012, a few months
before the work on ASDF 3 began. It has been slightly updated to
account for ASDF 3, with a lot of library code moved out of XCVB: most
xcvb-driver was moved to UIOP; UIOP also ate the previous asdf-utils
and made xcvb-utils obsolete. lisp-invocation was spun off. I'm not
sure it's worth investing in XCVB anymore at this point; most of its
ideas have influenced ASDF 3, and what remains to be done (e.g
cross-compilation) can probaby be done more easily on top of ASDF 3
than on top of XCVB.
