That would work, but it would make the use of salmonella very inconvenient, as salmonella would depend on a fresh chicken installation to work. Not sure if I understand your proposal correctly, though. For example, we have two common scenarios where salmonella is used: * by egg authors, to test eggs: $ cd egg-source-dir $ salmonella * by our test farm, where we build the whole set of eggs for different combinations of chicken branches, C compilers, etc. Would it be feasible to use salmonella and C5 in these cases? All the best.
