[asdf-devel] android ECL port cache directory problem

[Faré]

I don't understand your question.
1- SLIME has its own compilation and cache machinery, independent from ASDF.
2- The source-registry, recommended way of using ASDF (for speed, use
the cl-source-registry-cache), has both :directory and :tree
