To have a scalable system to build large software in Common Lisp, featuring deterministic separate compilation and enforced locally-declared dependencies.
You can find the latest released tarball of XCVB and all its dependencies ready-to-build in our release directory: http://common-lisp.net/project/xcvb/releases/
Status: Not yet a complete solution to fully replace ASDF, but it's already working and useful if you're ready to confront its current limitations. I'm working on it. Examples included.
You can checkout our public repository with: git clone http://common-lisp.net/project/xcvb/git/xcvb.git (or if you're a project member with git clone ssh://USER@common-lisp.net/project/xcvb/public_html/git/xcvb.git )
