Bug 251700 – dev-lisp/cl-asdf-binary-locations: asdf load fails to find "notes.text" in expected location

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Louis Frayser 2008-12-20 03:29:17 UTC]

When (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf-binary-locations) is invoked
  asdf looks for some documentation files and fails.

This seems to be a common prolem with asdf packages on Gentoo.  The ebuild places the documentation is a separate documentation direcrtory (usually /usr/share/doc); but asdf looks for certain documentation such as LICENSE, README, etc. in the /usr/share/common-lisp/source directories.

Here is a typical use case: User saves an image, then loads it...

frayser@gentoo ~/lib/lisp/sbcl $ sbcl

This is SBCL 1.0.14-gentoo, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
