The main reason for this is that ASDF-Install is already forked (the SBCL version and the Portable version and perhaps the OpenMCL version) and this adds to confusion as people evaluate Lisps.
</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>well, we should also consider the confusion added by having numerous projects for the same tasks. (i can't stop thinking of the situation with usocket and trivial-sockets). this brings questions, discussions about the situation, etc...
<br><br>instead i would try to resolve the situation with the branches. i'm sure there would be no trouble with sbcl, just look at how the official asdf plays well with sbcl. i have this in my env.lisp to replace asdf.lisp
shipped with sbcl to the one from my repo:<br><br>#+sbcl<br>(eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel)<br> (let ((asdf-file (probe-file (merge-pathnames "asdf/asdf.lisp" *workspace-dir*))))<br> (when asdf-file
<br> (defun update-asdf ()<br> (delete-package :asdf)<br> (let ((*features* (cons :sbcl-hooks-require *features*)))<br> (load (compile-file asdf-file))))<br> (update-asdf))))<br><br></div>
