is not high enough in my todo list to happen any time soon,<br>
but since you expressed interest, I pushed a few tiny fixes, but more<br>
importantly,<br>
I updated the README and the test.lisp to document how you should be able<br>
to test it.<br>
<br>
Issue:<br>
To be able to do a differential test, you may want to try an older POIU<br>
with an older ASDF. I tested POIU 1.31.1 to work with ASDF 3.1.7,<br>
but using ASDF 3.1.7 may require overriding your implementation's ASDF<br>
using tools/install-asdf.lisp from the asdf source repository.<br>
Yet, you will want to use the updated test.lisp that I just posted with<br>
instructions in the README to test that old POIU.<br>
For the test to work, though, I needed a patch to closer-mop:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/pcostanza/closer-mop/pull/10" style="color:#777">https://github.com/pcostanza/closer-mop/pull/10</a><br>
<br>
But the differential test will only help you to understand<br>
how POIU used to work with an old ASDF.<br>
The deeper problem is that ASDF's internals changed *a lot* since 3.1.7,<br>
notably so as to better support multi-stage builds in 3.3.0.<br>

<br>
I had a look at POIU, because I thought it would be interesting to fix<br>
this. I got pretty badly bogged down, though, because there's a really<br>
high barrier to entry in trying to run the tests.<br>
<br>
The tests require that I have your exscribe system and its full<br>
dependency tail. I tried to collect it, but after getting down to about<br>
the third level of transitive dependency, I gave up (partly this is<br>
because ASDF is not helping me figure out what the full set of<br>
dependencies is -- each time I grab a new dependency I may discover<br>
others that are needed).<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to shove the relevant git submodules into the POIU<br>
repo? Or somehow otherwise make the test runnable to anyone who checks<br>
out the repo?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

The other option I know to parallelize a CL build is bazelisp (the<br>

since I haven't touched it in years, either. [An earlier option I<br>
worked on, XCVB, has bitrotten long ago.]<br>
