#4303 hardcoded ASDF cache path
I am using maxima packaged by Gentoo Linux built with sbcl lisp implementation. Then maxima is used together with maxima-jupyter kernel. When I run a jupyter notebook I face some problems because the cache path used by ASDF is still the one used during build time of maxima. The caching mechanism is from ASDF but the path is specific to maxima. I am not a lisp developer and I would like to know if this is a problem of the maxima build system.
Which is the problem? Basically maxima is built by the package manager which sets the HOME variable in a specific place. In fact the ASDF caching system uses $HOME/.cache as basepath for the cache when $XDG_CACHE_HOME is not set. But at runtime that path is not good for the regular user!
Is there someone that can provide more info on how the things work?
Hi Fabio, thanks for your interest in Maxima and Maxima-Jupyter. I see that you've opened a ticket on the issue tracker for maxima-jupyter over on GitHub (https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter/issues/127), that's great. Since this problem is specific to maxima-jupyter, we should conduct any discussion over on GitHub instead of here. I'll close this ticket and try to follow up on the other ticket.
