Re: [cclan-list] ASDF component-self-dependencies

[Gary K. <gw...@me...>]

HI Robert,

I don't know and it doesn't seem to return a non-nil value for any of  
the many systems I just checked. My reading of the code appears to be  
saying something like:

the input files of X, are either the output files of all the self- 
dependencies or X's pathname.

It also seems to me that direct-dependencies would be a better name  
than self-dependencies.

I think so, yes.
