another system location question

[arvid]

Does quicklisp cache system locations?

I have my local projects directory defined in ~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf

If I start lisp, copy a system to my local projects directory, then quickload.  It loads the quicklisp version.

If I copy the system to my local projects directory first, then start lisp, quickload will correctly the local system.

ASDF scans the source registry at startup and does not scan again unless
prompted, or via a restart.

The ~/quicklisp/local-projects/ facility scans automatically as needed.

ASDF does cache system locations; after it's loaded once, it will
continue to load from the same location even if a new location for the
system is visible through a rescan of the source registry.

Yes, you are correct.

I thought it was a quicklisp problem because I loaded with quicklisp first and it did not work.  Then I loaded with slime's load-system and it did work.

But I forgot that I had restarted the inferior lisp in between loads.

Thanks for the quick response.
