[elephant-devel] 0.60 tarball missing

[Ian Eslick]

Nevermind.

Now that it's installed on your system, just call (asdf:operate  
'asdf:load-op :elephant) or (require 'elephant) and it should load up  
(if you've followed the instructions in elephant/INSTALL regarding  
BDB or CL-SQL).


The problem is asdf-install invoking a default behavior that does the  
wrong thing with elephant.  I guess no one has tried to load elephant  
0.6.0 via asdf-install before.

And actually it really doesn't make much sense to bother loading the  
asdf file after the install since it won't work until you've read  
INSTALL and properly setup the external dependencies...sigh.

The problem is that asdf-install symlinks and loads all .asd files in  
the root directory after the install.  Since we use subsidiary .asd  
files, this behavior doesn't work out very well.

I think in the next release we could fix this by merging all the .asd  
files into one big one, but then I think you can't call load-op on  
ele-bdb, ele-clsql or ele-acache, etc.  Does anyone know off the top  
of their head how CL-SQL manages this?  I can look into it later if  
no one knows the answer without looking into it.

Anyway, I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks,
Ian
