</div>I wrote a script to do just that in sbcl's contrib/asdf. They didn't<br>
get my latest version, but here's the Makefile target, that you can<br>
tailor to your needs:<br>
<br>
up:<br>
if [ -d asdf-upstream ] ; then \<br>
cd asdf-upstream ; git checkout release ; git reset --hard<br>
release ; git pull -a ; else \<br>
git clone --branch release \<br>
git://<a href="http://common-lisp.net/projects/asdf/asdf.git" target="_blank">common-lisp.net/projects/asdf/asdf.git</a> asdf-upstream ; fi</blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>Do you realize that "git" is not a suitable distribution method for many users? It would be more interesting to have a permanent web address for the latest stable release, from which to download it -- a process that can then be performed in many other ways.</div>
