[asdf-install-devel] Re: [cclan-list] proposed asdf-install patch

[Gary King]

Hi Robert,

After looking at your patch in greater detail, it seems that it is  
actually not necessary for the current portable version (with one  
caveat which I'll get to in a moment). Did you use the latest version  
of ASDF-Install ("0.6.13")?

The caveat is that CL-YACC on the CLiki actually points to a system  
named YACC. So the transcript I get from ASDF-Install is:

I suppose a restart like: "Treat yacc.asd as cl-yacc and install it"  
would be a good thing...

I'd like to understand why your milage varied.

thanks,
