With the `source` use flag enabled, sbcl doesn't install source code for contrib packages. This breaks debugging with Sly/Slime, if the sources from contrib dir are needed. And they are needed quite frequently, since useful parts like uiop, sb-posix or asdf live in the contrib subdirectory. In other words, while source code installed successfully for the sbcl itselt, it doesn't include e.g. asdf.lisp or uiop.lisp. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install sbcl-2.0.0 2a. Try to find asdf.lisp in the /usr/lib64/sbcl/asdf 2b. Launch Emacs, open Sly/Slime session, print asdf:defsystem and try to find the symbol (M-.) Actual Results: No asdf.lisp in the /usr/lib64/sbcl/ dir. M-. opens empty file in non-existent dir: /usr/lib64/sbcl/asdf/asdf.lisp Expected Results: Source code is installed for contrib packages, Sly successfully finds it with M-. I have succeded in installing the code with ebuild modification, here's the patch for the ebuild: --- sbcl-2.0.0.ebuild 2020-01-03 20:09:25.982116124 +0300 +++ sbcl-2.0.0-r1.ebuild 2020-01-19 19:03:18.129638670 +0300 @@ -237,6 +237,9 @@ if use source; then ./clean.sh cp -av src "${ED}/usr/$(get_libdir)/sbcl/" || die + for d in contrib/*/; do + cp -av "$d" "${ED}/usr/$(get_libdir)/sbcl/" || die + done fi # necessary for running newly-saved images After I generated manifest and re-emerged sbcl, Sly began to work properly with the M-. command.
I can confirm that this bug is still present in the latest sbcl-2.1.3.ebuild, and that Alex's proposed three-line addition to the ebuild still resolves the issue. If desired I can also add a similar reproduction flow using vim + slimv. It'd be great if a maintainer can update at least 2.1.3 and future versions to use Alex's patch!
