Yes, this is the case. I thought it is better to have two separate variables with precise meanings instead of combining them in some way. > > Should CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY be implicitly set to > CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/chicken/<binversion> when > CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX is set in the environment?

We can implement it that way, but I fear that this may lead to more special cases later. Basically you are right, but what about trying the current approach first, to get Salmonella up and running and decide later whether we streamline the override-mechanism? I still consider CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX to be internal + experimental for now. felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
