The directory ~/.clc/systems/ is where CLC looks for .asd files. (Note that you must symlink them there from their original directories, not copy them.) In fact, I've been using the ~/.clc/systems/ directory as a convention since I first started using Common Lisp, even when not on Debian/Ubuntu/Gentoo, as it seems as good a canonical asdf:*central-registry* member as any other to me.walter80 wrote:Are there conventions for dot files (I saw reference to a ".clc" but no info on what should be put therein)?
Note that Quicklisp, too, will happily find and load stuff from all the places that CLC searches (as long as CLC is present in the Lisp you're using), so if you follow nuntius' suggestion and use Quicklisp, there's no need to distinguish between Debian-provided libraries and Quicklisp-native ones.
