As a tarball with only the asdf-specific source files, to be combined with asdf-driver code into asdf.lisp? Some or all of the above? As for me, I'll keep using the git checkout, but I suppose you might have ideas as to what you prefer for quicklisp.

All the functions in asdf-utils are present in asdf-driver (Well, I admit I refactored away a few that couldn't be found used on quicklisp, but they hopefully won't be missed; for instance if you rely on the old name coerce-pathname instead of the more general parse-unix-namestring, buzz me.) And yes, I am willing to maintain it for the time being. It is also still time to wholly rename asdf-driver into asdf-utils, if you think that is preferable: you're the only user I've heard of. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. — H.
