[asdf-devel] BUNDLE-OP now working on abcl-1.3.0-dev

[Mark Evenson]

The problems with BUNDLE-OP were triaged  to problems in ABCL's use of :WILD-INFERIORS on directories referred to via symlinks.  OS X symlinks /private/tmp to /tmp which was why the problem was mysteriously not working only on this platform.

This error was fixed when I [finished re-working DIRECTORY to default to :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS as nil][r14624] which currently exists in abcl-1.3.0-dev.  

If you wish to conditionalize on the fix, the form 
   
    (not (second (third (sys::arglist 'directory))))

should return T for versions of ABCL that work with BUNDLE-OP on OS X.

We supposedly releasing ‘abcl-1.3.0’ real soon now, but this has been the case for several months, as time (and more bugs) kept cropping up.
