[Openmcl-devel] Weird ASDF problem

[Robert P. Goldman]

We (ok, really Fare) had a bunch of troubles with merge-pathnames because it supplied default hosts and devices at times. Any chance that's related to this problem?

The latest asdf abandoned merge-pathnames altogether, in favor of its own replacement.

I'm very interested in this problem, because there are likely to be some teething issues with asdf2 as it gradually edges out asdf1 in production use.

A look at the faq in the asdf manual might be helpful (and if it isn't I would like to know how it could be improved).

Keep us posted!
