I was going to say, it would take some effort to backport the current egg repository to a given older version of Chicken. But I appreciate the new addition to chicken-setup; and at least I can create a Chicken 2.3 egg repository for the eggs I use. -Ivan "felix winkelmann" <[EMAIL PROT

That's true, and I am sure the GPLed Sun JDK will eventually find its way into the main Debian distribution. Though I am quite fond of gcj and the free implementations of the Java libraries, even if they don't include everything. -Ivan Peter Busser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hi! > >

Well, it's certainly not going to hurt anybody, and it might be somewhat useful for future "forking" of the egg repository. Though of course some eggs might later have bug fixes that don't necessarily break compatibility with older versions... whatever happened to the idea of having unit tests

It turned out that it is quite painless to make Debian packages for Chicken 2.41 based on the 2.3 build scripts. If anyone is interested, I have built Chicken packages for Debian stable and placed them at the following repository: deb http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/mrci/debian stable main deb

That's what I meant with my previous post. Until the API is stable enough, this should be a decent solution. There remains only the back porting of new eggs. But if someone needs that specific version so bad, they could probably get somehelp back porting the egg. - Mensagem original D

The tarball for Chicken 2.5 doesn't have chicken.texi, and I didn't want to just use the texinfo file from 2.4. I was referring to the Debian package build scripts that were used to build the Chicken 2.3 packages for Debian. I have attached a tarball with those scripts. Just untar it in the dire
