Thanks, so am I.  I'll check the asdf version in this weekend at the
latest.  It is a good idea to support all the different system
definition utilities that are utilized by Debian|(vn-)?cCLan -- at
least, until the Grand Unified Defsystem emerges from the fray...

Re defsystem: could you send a backtrace of what happens when you
evaluate (load "INSTALL.lisp")?  (If you're at all interested, that is.)

I'll have to think about that -- not that it's a bad idea to be
standards conformant, but now that Gray streams work on cmucl,
chunking is not so much work anymore, and I'd have to remember
removing the patch afterwards :)

As an aside: I noticed that vn-cclan has started using portableaserve
for package downloading.  From my POV, this is a Good Thing, of
course :)  Do you need multithreading for that?  Otherwise, I could
whip up a port of (single-threaded) paserve to SBCL on a rainy
afternoon, if you're interested.  (And as soon as dan_b's fabled SBCL
thread implementation surfaces, paserve /will/ be ported prontissimo.)

Regards,

Rudi
