Dear Kambiz, Sorry to have taken so long to get back to you. No, I do not think it would be unreasonable to have a git repository with submodules for the minimakefile dependencies. I don't regularly use quicklisp, and I have stubbed my toes several times trying to get the current (pre minimakefile) build infrastructure to work -- or to keep working, as one or the other support libraries changes and requires new versions of dependencies, etc. I would not like ASDF development to rely on the Quicklisp distribution staying in sync. We can't rely on Xach to provide support for these tools -- it's not part of the Quicklisp charter. The QL charter is only to make a good-faith attempt to provide a consistent set of lisp libraries. I'm afraid I haven't really kept abreast of progress on git submodules, so I don't know the current state of the art. Anything you could do in this direction would be very welcome.
