Hi Jörg,


How would I mark a release for C5?


Create a new release-info file and let the chicken core team add it to the CHICKEN 5 coop.
I both in the same repo, eg nanomsg5.release-info for C5 and nanomsg.release-info for C4.
 
Any thought on how to have both a C4 and C5 version in the same repo? I'll
have to support C4 for quite a while. Now I wonder how best reorganize the
code to work for both.

I've kept C4 support by using cond-expand, like this:

(import scheme) ;; make sure we have cond-expand
(cond-expand (chicken-5 (import (chicken base) (chicken foreign)))
             (else (import chicken foreign)))

 

* Observation: chicken-install does not install dependencies

This is just odd: The .egg file contains (dependencies srfi-18);
chicken-install did the download but not install it. So compilation failed
until I manually did

chicken-install srfi-18


That seems like a bug. No error messages after downloading?
 
* chicken-install -n -test

Fails.  One needs to actually install first, then run the test.

Better at least warn that we test the installed version, not the
current one. (I recall this bite me before.)

Best: just load the version from the working directory.

Thanks for all the work which went into C5.

/Jörg
