### What it is
ASDF-System-Connections provides auto-loading of systems that
only make sense when several other systems are loaded. If I'm
lucky, an example will make this clear! [CL-Containers][]
and [CL-Variates][] are separate systems and can therefore
be loaded independently. If both of them are loaded, however,
then it makes sense to also load code that uses CL-Variates
to sample random elements from containers. Rather than
requiring you to remember to load that extra system (and to
load it only after both Cl-Containers and CL-Variates are
loaded), ASDF-System-Connections lets you set things up so
that loading happens automatically.
Here is a simple example from [metabang-bind][]'s system
definition:
(asdf:defsystem-connection bind-and-metatilities
:requires (metabang-bind metatilities-base)
:perform (load-op :after (op c)
(use-package (find-package :metabang-bind)
(find-package :metatilities))))
The _requires_ clause specifies the other systems that must
be loaded before this connection will be activated. The rest
of the system definition is regular [ASDF][].
ASDF-System-connections will be loaded as soon as the systems
they require are all loaded and they will only be loaded
once. Before loading a system that uses a system connection,
you should load ASDF-System- Connections in the usual manner:
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'asdf-system-connections)
### Mailing Lists
Nope. Sorry, there isn't one. You can, however, contact [Gary
King][gwking-mail]. The best way to keep updated is to follow
the metabang weblog: [unClog][]
### Where is it
the current ASDF-System-Connections repository is on
[github][github-asdf-System-Connections] and you can clone it using:
git clone git://github.com/gwkkwg/asdf-System-Connections
Its CLiki home is right [where][cliki-home] you'd expect.
