Comment 5 for bug 1904042

after a cursory read, i think we have made a script for this. you can specify an ASDF system name prefix, and it will load every matching ASDF system (but only the systems), and then load all of their dependencies, and save an SBCL core file ready for Slime.

https://hub.darcs.net/hu.dwim/hu.dwim.environment/browse/bin/build-development-image.sh

example usage:

~/common-lisp/hu.dwim.environment/bin/build-development-image.sh hu.dwim

creates the file: ~/.cache/common-lisp/sbcl-2.0.9-linux-x64/hu.dwim_development

and just FTR, this file has the (somewhat messy) emacs side to load it:
