Backward Compatibility
======================

We purposefully do NOT provide backward compatibility with earlier versions of
asdf-binary-locations (8 Sept 2009),
common-lisp-controller (6.17) or
common-lisp-controller (7.00) or
cl-launch (2.35),
each of which had similar general capabilities.
Future versions of same packages (if any)
will hopefully use the new ASDF API as defined below.
These previous programs' API was not designed
for easy configuration by the end-user
in an easy way with configuration files,
and their previous API didn't fit the new paradigm.
But this incompatibility won't inconvenience many people.
Indeed, few people use and customize these packages;
these people are experts who can trivially adapt to the new configuration.
Other people will experience software that "just works".
Most people are not experts, could not properly configure these features
(except inasmuch as the default configuration of
common-lisp-controller and/or cl-launch
might have been doing the right thing for some users),
and yet will experience software that "just works",
as configured by the system distributor, or by default.
Nevertheless, if you want to use the old ASDF-Binary-Locations
(the one available as an extension to load of top of ASDF,
not the one built into a few old versions of ASDF),
it may still work if you just make sure you do not configure the new
builtin ASDF-Output-Translations.
But if you configure both ASDF's new builtin and ASDF-Binary-Locations
(or an old common-lisp-controller or cl-launch),
you may experience "interesting" issues, so don't do it.
Configuration DSL
=================
Here is the grammar of the SEXP DSL for asdf-output-locations configuration:
Here is the grammar of the SEXP DSL for asdf-output-translations configuration:
;; A configuration is single SEXP starting with keyword :source-registry
;; followed by a list of directives.
CONFIGURATION := (:asdf-output-locations DIRECTIVE ...)

;; A directive is one of the following:
DIRECTIVE :=
;; add a single directory to be scanned (no recursion)

;; include a configuration file or directory

STRING | ;; namestring, directory is assumed. If the last component, **/*.*.* is added
PATHNAME | ;; pathname unless last component, directory is assumed.
:IMPLEMENTATION | ;; a directory based on implementation, e.g. sbcl-1.0.32.30-linux-x86-64
:IMPLEMENTATION-TYPE | ;; a directory based on lisp-implementation-type only, e.g. sbcl
:CURRENT-DIRECTORY | ;; all components of the current directory, without the :absolute
:UID | ;; current UID -- not available on Windows
:USER ;; current USER name -- NOT IMPLEMENTED(!)
Relative components better be either relative
or subdirectories of the path before them, or bust.
You may use #+features to customize the configuration file.
The second designator of a mapping may be NIL, indicating that files are not mapped
to anything but themselves (same as if the second designator was the same as the first).
Include statements cause the search to recurse with the path specifications
from the file specified.
An inherit-configuration statement cause the search to recurse with the path
An :inherit-configuration statement cause the search to recurse with the path
specifications from the next configuration
(see section Configurations_ above).
:enable-user-cache is the same as (:root :user-cache).
:disable-cache is the same as (:root :root).
:user-cache uses the contents of variable asdf::*output-translations-user-cache*
which by default is the same as using (:home ".cache" "common-lisp" :implementation).
:system-cache uses the contents of variable asdf::*output-translations-system-cache*
which by default is the same as the user-cache.
