ASDF debugging on Hangouts?

[Zach Beane]

I don't recommend using update-all-dists as the default. I prefer to
recommend (ql:update-dist "quicklisp"), which updates all projects in the
quicklsp dist.

There can be multiple dists installed, and update-all-dists calls
update-dist on all of them.

See blog.quicklisp.org for news about what is updated each month.
