We recently released ASDF 2 (on May 31st 2010). It will hopefully be bundled will all official releases of Common Lisp implementations made after that date.
ASDF is a tool for describing how source files are organized: what depends on which and when.
It is roughly what Common Lisp hackers use to build software where C hackers would use say GNU Make.
ASDF stands for Another System Definition Facility, in the continuity of the Lisp DEFSYSTEM of yore.
You can read our manual:
Though they may lag behind the version here, ASDF comes bundled with most Lisps. To get the greatest and latest, you can:
git clone git://common-lisp.net/projects/asdf/asdf.git(Note that our "master" branch is for current development; get our "release" branch for the latest stable release.)
To report bugs, you can use our launchpad project. If you're unsure about the bug or want to discuss how to fix it, you can send email to the project mailing-list below.
