<body><div>Well, ASDF doc (here: <a href="https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf/The-defsystem-form.html">https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf/The-defsystem-form.html</a>) is not that clear about this. It shows an example .asd file, which does have an in-package, albeit to package asdf-user, and says of it:<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The file starts with an <code>in-package</code> form
for package <code>asdf-user</code>. Quick summary: just do this, because it
helps make interactive development of <code>defsystem</code> forms behave in
the same was as when these forms are loaded by ASDF. ... The <code>in-package</code> form
will ensure that the system definition is read the
same as within ASDF when you load it interactively with <code>cl:load</code>.
However, we recommend that you load <samp>.asd</samp> files
through function <code>asdf::load-asd</code> rather than through <code>cl:load</code>,
in which case this form is unnecessary.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Don't mean to hijack usocket for ASDF complaints, but shouldn't asdf::load-asd be exported?<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,<br></div>

<div>
So you have to, it seems, do (in-package :asdf) or similar before loading this file.<br></div>
<div>
Is there any good reason for this? I was thinking of fixing this and doing a pull request. Anyone against?<br></div>

Thanks,<br></div>
