[Chicken-users] chicken-install -n -test

[John J Foerch]

Hello,

I'm writing an egg and I happened to try 'chicken-install -n -test' to
see if I could run my tests without installing the egg.  This does not
work in the version of chicken that I'm using (4.6.0 from Debian), so I
would like to make this a feature request.  When running chicken-install
from the directory an egg resides in, it would be nice to be able to run
tests without installing the egg.  This would save the developer having
to type a sudo password, for example.

Corollary to this, it would be nice, when installing the egg, if the
tests could run before install, and if a test fails, installation could
be aborted.

Just some ideas.

Thanks,
John Foerch
