[slime-devel] SLIME and CMUCL with mk:defsystem

[Archisman Rudra]

Hi,
  I have the following problem. I use defsystem to compile and load
systems. When the source file is newer than the compiled file CMUCL
asks whether to compile and load the source file. Somehow SLIME
mis-parses this and the answer to this query is treated as a fresh input.

  I took a brief look at the slime elisp and swank-cmucl sources, but
I do not understand the architecture enough to even attempt a patch...

I haven't tried it with othe lisp implementattions to see if it is an
issue with defsystem or with cmucl...
