Re: cl-pdf quicklisp configuration

Good point. I fixed that and pushed it to the GitHub repo.

In case you don't want to wait for the quicklisp distribution here is what I've put in place of the (push :use-no-zlib *features*)

(when (notany #'(lambda (feature) (find feature *features*))
                '(:use-salza2-zlib :use-salza-zlib :use-uffi-zlib :use-abcl-zlib :use-no-zlib))
    (push :use-no-zlib *features*))

Hi,

I’ve been using cl-pdf for a while, and think it works very good! But I’ve been wondering why the resulting PDF files are so much bigger compared to other PDF:s with the same content – until I took a closer look to the source and found that zlib compression can be switched on using *features*! Awesome!

Now my only issue is that cl-pdf.asd pushes :use-no-zlib to *features* by default, so even if I push e.g. :use-salza2-zlib to *features* before loading cl-pdf, I can’t get it to work properly without monkey-patching cl-pdf.asd.

My question: is there a better way, something I’ve missed? Or is it impossible to solve without modifying cl-pdf.asd?

(Of course changing cl-pdf.asd is not a big thing, but I’m also interested in this question on a general level)

Erik
