Hi is this project still being developed?

I'm interested in using it to submit a pull request for this other common lisp project that doesn't have an asd file:

https://github.com/mdedwards/slippery-chicken

asd issue:

https://github.com/mdedwards/slippery-chicken/issues/44

Do you think it would be a good use case?

I currently know 'nil about creating an asd file.

Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey - the project is not actively developed but it worked in the past and so it should work today. It should still be good enough for generating ASD files. The issue is that I've forgotten almost everything about this project and so I cannot be of help with using it - the source code and the existing documentation are all that I have for it.

Thanks for the response and info! It's much appreciated.

Do you generate asd files nowadays by some other method or just "by hand"?

I still occasionally use it when I add a new file to a repo

I do things by hand, but projects I work on grow organically - it seems that you have a case where you need to ASDFify an existing Lisp project.
