How to define Common Lisp library in two different ways?

Listen Later

I show you how to describe a Common Lisp system in ASDF. First the traditional way, then a simpler one – using the package-inferred extension.

Usually in Common Lisp systems, only one package is described and dependencies between files are handled manually in an ASD file. The "package inferred" extension makes it easier to describe dependencies by moving them closer to the place where they are used.

In this video, I will demonstrate the features of each of the two ways to describe ASDF systems.
