2015-08-04: All my systems fail on SBCL due to encoding error

[maxrott...@googlemail.com]

All my systems failed to build on SBCL because of an encoding error. The report says the external format is ASCII which could explain this?

It's because your ASDF system doesn't specify encoding.

Since ASDF 3 the default encoding is UTF-8, but before that the system default encoding was used
(https://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf/Controlling-source-file-character-encoding.html)

Note, cl-rfc2047 only fails like that on SBCL 1.0.58. Newer SBCLs come with ASDF 3:

If you want to fix it for elder lisps you can do this:
