[Logs-devel] defsystem loses with cmucl on filenames of form "name.ext1.ext2" (fwd)

[Jim Prewett]

Hi Suresh,

I don't believe we've met, but we share the UNM TLD, so I'd bet we're 
neighbors :)  I was unaware that anyone at UNM was interested in LoGS 
(besides myself).  Just cureous, what are you doing with LoGS?

While I am more than happy to support defsystem, I believe ASDF is already 
reasonably supported.

Is this a problem with defsystem, my filenames, or CMUCL?  ( I'll agree, 
those filenames are a bit funky :)

Jim

I am trying to write a defsystem file for the LoGS project. I got the
latest snapshot and the date on the defsystem file is Nov 18

I have a file called #p"Data_Sources/File-Follower_CMUCL.low.lisp"

There are 4 cases, below , all 4 don't work. The fourth was most
likely to work but is defeated because of ANSI changes. I submit this
as a problem that needs to be solved

PS - I recommend against telent clx in CMUCL and am still searching
for unix:unix-errno in this snapshot (under linux)
