Creating deliverables using ASDFv3 bundle operations

[hraban]

There are a few ASDFv3 build operations which seem under ABCL to either be NOPs or cause full errors.

Example:

hello.asd:

(asdf:defsystem "hello"
  :entry-point "hello:main"
  :components ((:file "main")))

main.lisp:

(defpackage :hello
  (:use :cl)
  (:export main))

(in-package :hello)

(defun main (&rest args)
  (format T "Hello, world~%"))

Execute:

CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY=$PWD abcl --noinit --nosystem --batch --eval '(require "asdf")' --eval '(asdf:operate '\''asdf:program-op "hello")'

Expected result: a binary (or a .jar, or some kind of build output?) in ~/.cache/common-lisp/...

Observed result:

I can find sundry articles online about bundling as .jar files or even as stand-alone executable using ABCL, but I'd expect this functionality to somehow be exposed to ASDF as one of the bundle operations.

Should ABCL support this in some way or another?

• program-op and image-op error (you'd expect a JAR at least?)
• lib-op and dll-op are NOPs (makes sense)
