This commit updates the
~/.slime
references inMakefile
andswank-loader.lisp
to check for XDG_DATA_HOME. If the environment variable is set, it uses $XDG_DATA_HOME/slime as the default fasl directory.This change is necessary as there is no way to avoid creation of "~/.slime" when loading a system that requires Swank. My personal example is trying to port a Clack application to OpenBSD. The OpenBSD build system does not allow writing to home directories as part of the build process.
Prior to these changes, I tried using asdf:defsystem-depends-on, asdf:around-compile, and use of a secondary system to only load swank.
