[Chicken-users] Debian packages for some eggs now available

[Ivan Raikov]

Hi all,

   I have "debianized" a number of eggs and have uploaded the
resulting i386 binary packages to the Debian repository on
chicken.wiki.br. Information on how to access that repository is here:

http://chicken.wiki.br/Debian packages

  The debianized eggs are mostly the prerequisites to svnwiki, plus a
few others that I use regularly. (The full list is at
http://chicken.wiki.br/debian-eggs) If you need Debian packages for
any egg, just let me know. Next, I will be working on packaging
ezxdisp and svnwiki itself.

  I have also written a script that will almost automatically build
Debian packages for all eggs that have a debian subdirectory in the
SVN repository. I say almost automatically, because not all eggs have
their documentation in the repository, so you will have to manually
copy some HTML documentation from the Chicken website to the directory
tree from which you are building. The script is called dpkg-eggs.scm
and is located in the scripts subdirectory of the main Chicken SVN
tree.
