What it is

ASDF is a tool for describing how source files are organized: what depends on which and when. I.e., it is Another System Definition Facility.

If you want to use ASDF with other people's systems, see the getting started guide. For details on defining your own systems, you should browse the manual.

Mailing Lists

• asdf-devel: A list for questions, patches, bug reports, and so on; It's for everything.

Where is it

Though they may lag behind the version here, ASDF comes bundled with most Lisps. To get the greatest and latest, you can:

• download just the source for asdf.lisp,
• download the tarball to get all bells and whistles,
• pull the latest from our git repository

  git clone http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf.git 

Contributing

We're still working out the details. For now, send email to gwking@metabang.com or the project mailing-list with questions or patches.
