[Chicken-hackers] Egg filename versioning

[Leonardo Valeri Manera]

We (the gentoo scheme people) would like to provide eggs via our
packaging system.

There are various reasons for this, among which standardizing location
- we have inbuilt safeguards against unsafe code compilation since the
whole distro is source-based - separating major version egg location,
providing upgrades without needing to check eggs-unlimited manually
for changes...

However, in order to do this /properly/, we need the egg filenames to
include version information. I won't go into the details, but i'll
just say that without that, we'd have to use our existing mechanisms
for live (cvs/snv/git/etc) packages, and these would be
unsatisfactory, both from a packager and a user point of view, when it
comes to eggs.

I realize this is a non-trivial change to your system, but do you
think there's a chance this might happen, sometime in the future?

Thanks for your time,
Leonardo
