Package: sbcl Version: 2:1.0.53.0-1 Severity: wishlist I was poking around with SLIME the other day, and I noticed that it is harder than it has to be to get to the SBCL sources.
After much investigation (mostly because I don't actually know Common Lisp), I discovered the cause: ,---- | * (logical-pathname-translations (pathname-host #P"sys:")) | | (("SYS:SRC;**;*.*.*" | #P"/build/buildd-sbcl_1.0.53.0-1-i386-fPkASq/sbcl-1.0.53.0/src/**/*.*") | ("SYS:CONTRIB;**;*.*.*" | #P"/build/buildd-sbcl_1.0.53.0-1-i386-fPkASq/sbcl-1.0.53.0/contrib/**/*.*") | ("SYS:OUTPUT;**;*.*.*" | #P"/build/buildd-sbcl_1.0.53.0-1-i386-fPkASq/sbcl-1.0.53.0/output/**/*.*")) `---- I also found that this seems to work pretty well for me: ,----[ ~/.swank.lisp ] | | ;; Set path translation to work with the "sbcl-source" package | #+sbcl | (setf (logical-pathname-translations (pathname-host #P"sys:")) | '(("SYS:SRC;**;*.*.*" #P"/usr/share/sbcl-source/src/**/*.*") | ("SYS:CONTRIB;**;*.*.*" #P"/usr/share/sbcl-source/contrib/**/*.*"))) `---- ... but of course it would be nicer if this worked out of the box, no?
