<blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #777; color:#999; margin:0 0 5px; padding-left:5px; border-left-color:#999"><p dir="auto">Another trick you could try is to define a special class of files for the<br>
info files (probably just a subclass of cl-source-file). Then you could tell<br>
ASDF not to move that class of files, by providing a method on OUTPUT-FILES.</p>

*LOAD-PATHNAME* points to the place where the info file is found, just<br>
as it is when the index.lisp is loaded via LOAD).<br>

I suppose I could create a class that has the effect of copying the<br>
info files without any other operation on them?<br>

<p dir="auto">Yes, for example, you could override the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">COMPILE-OP</code> for this class of files to just do the move, instead of being a no-op.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now that I think of it, if these index files are lisp data (some kind of table, right?), couldn't you actually compile them? If you can use <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">CL:LOAD</code> on them, couldn't you also use <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">COMPILE-FILE</code>? In which case, I think you could just treat them like cl source files, and use <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">(or *compile-file-truename* *load-truename*)</code>. I think that would give you the behavior you want.</p>
