(Adding asdf-devel to the recipients — the problem is wrong (asdf::default-source-registry) when XDG_DATA_DIRS is empty.)
Well, ASDF ought to have worked even in absence of XDG_DATA_DIRS, and you discovered a genuine bug in ASDF. It turns out, split-string was not designed to return correct results when passed either NIL or "", and this caused ASDF to fail to treat the default properly for XDG_DATA_DIRS. I've pushed a fix as ASDF 3.0.2.9, but that's a pretty bad bug you've discovered, which defeats the default configuration. Robert: when do you instead to release 3.0.3 ? Otherwise, I could do a Debian package for 3.0.2.9. (PS: I took the liberty of also committing my load-systems* patch). —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything.
