As far as I can see, the only missing part is
http://wiki.call-cc.org/releasing-your-egg#publishing-your-egg

Your egg would have to be added to an index that we call "egg-locations"
(a file in Subversion).  Do you want me to do that?

Please, see some comments below.

Is the http://ball.askemos.org/Aad0f198cd7fcfc96ea59bcbeec340556/ URI
"constant"?  I mean, will that string that looks like a hash be the same
for all egg releases?

That's not supported by chicken-install.  chicken-install is only able
to talk to a henrietta server (http://wiki.call-cc.org/egg/henrietta).
The program which handles .release-info files is actually
henrietta-cache (http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/henrietta-cache),
which is given the egg-locations file as argument, and generates/updates
the directory that the henrietta server uses.
