ASDF debugging on Hangouts?

[Ken Tilton]

Thanks, Luis! I noticed update-all-dists too late, not sure how I missed
it. I bravely attempted (ql:update :cffi) but of course no luck, I guess
because you are saying:

​But then the name ​"update-all-dists" seems off (checking my
understanding). Does it not update-all-*projects* in the one current dist?
Trying to answer my own question on The Google, I found this gem of a
thread:

http://blog.quicklisp.org/2011/08/going-back-in-dist-time.html

...and the extensive :ql-dist package.

I guess I should not have skipped the instruction to contact Xach if I had
any questions. :)

Thanks again, hk
