Re: [Chicken-hackers] 2.505 and chicken-setup extensions

[john]

I like the idea of being able to automatically install an egg from the
svn repository. This got me thinking. How about having 2 locations for
eggs: stable and unstable/testing. Then using chicken-setup if you
choose unstable/testing it automatically builds from svn. Likewise
stable does the normal egg build. Would be good for people whose eggs
are "work in progress". The stable eggs could go through some test
process. Might be a bit of work to establish which eggs qualify as
being stable though!

Cheers.
