Thanks for the feedback. Back when we had all eggs in svn, the information about the repository where eggs could be found was a bit redundant, as all of them were in the same repository. Thus, this information was omitted from the egg documentation pages. Since we adopted the distributed approach, most eggs not hosted in svn have a link to their repository in their respective wiki page. Usually when the documentation of eggs doesn't mention the repository, it's because they are in svn. Now that the distributed approach is the recommented way to store eggs, I think the documentation of eggs stored in svn should also include a link to their repostories. Unfortunatelly, I don't think there is an easy way to do that automatically. All the best. Mario -- http://parenteses.org/mario

Great idea, automatic links from the eggref page to the egg repository/source would be very useful. -Ivan On Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 5:43 AM plugd via wrote: > > Hi Mario, > > Mario Domenech Goulart writes: > > To fill this gap, we are making available git repositories that contain > > the source code of the whole set of eggs.

This reminds me: one thing that I've always wondered is whether it would be possible to add links directly from the wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/* pages to the relevant repository. This would have helped me quite a bit in my early days of using Chicken, as I remember being very confused about where to find the official repository associated with any given package. Cheers, Tim
[ANN] Source code of all eggs as git repositories
Hi, In the past we used to have the source code of all eggs under our central subversion repository, from which users could conveniently check out the source code of the whole set of eggs. Nowadays we have the egg repositories distributed [1], which is absolutely great for egg developers, as they can use whatever version control system they want and still have their eggs available from the official egg index. On the other hand, the distribution nature makes it a bit inconvenient for users to fetch the source code of all eggs. To fill this gap, we are making available git repositories that contain the source code of the whole set of eggs. See [2] for more information on how to clone them.
