Add support for Genera #209

Closed gmpalter closed 2 years ago

Thanks for this PR.

Is there any way to incorporate ASDF into Genera instead of updating the Quicklisp version? The current version is chosen to avoid forcing any particular implementation forward before the vendor does so. (CLISP is the exception, since it does not provide ASDF at all.)

gmpalter commented 3 years ago

ASDF will be distributed with the release as SYS:CONTRIBUTED;ASDF;ASDF. It will not be loaded into the worlds distributed with the release. The user will have to load it in their lispm-init.lisp or manually.

I guess that means (require 'asdf) or similar can't easily be made to work?

gmpalter commented 3 years ago

On Genera, require without an optional pathname list will try to load a Genera system of the same name. I could probably arrange to make that work for ASDF.

I just put ASDF back to version 3.2.1.
