[GSLL-devel] Bug or feature: grid-map and complex type destinations

[Mirko Vukovic]

No, the file was local.   The only remotely relevant item is that the
file timestamps were those from the git repository (for example, if I
download a version a few days old, the file timestamps will be from
November 8 say).

The following is from hazy (possibly incorrect memory): I was able to
install grid by cd-in into gsd/grid and doing asdf from there.  Then
when I tried to install foreign-array from gsd I got asdf looping
again.  I have ASDF2 searching these directories recursively (as a
tree).  (As I said, hazy/incorrect recollection as I was in a hurry to
head home).  I will verify that next week.

I am using ASDF2
