I needed an installation of ADSF-Install that wouldn’t interfere with system-wide, user-wide or even project-wide settings but that would allow me to fetch, e.g., Tinaa and document my project. So, I want to create ASDF-install sandbox that would be completely self-contained. And I did. Here’s how:
First, download ASDF-Install using darcs:
darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf-install/darcs/asdf-install
Downloaded ASDF-install directory will be our sandox (yes, the self-contained sandbox is this self-contained it uses own local copy of ASDF-Install itself). Now, let’s create place for downloaded systems in sandbox and, to avoid overpopulating ASDF:*CENTRAL-REGISTRY*
, symlink asdf-install itself there:
