Subject: [ITP] chicken-3.4.0-1
Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:05:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a07c15f00810061604u1cbf8b0esdd027bfc1683b33c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Despite not being an official package, chicken (a scheme compiler and
interpreter) has compiled OTOB on cygwin for several years now. I
think it would make a good addition to the distro.

Version 2.3 is currently in Debian stable [1]. Version 3.2 is in
testing [2]. Version 3.4.0 is 2 incremental upgrades beyond what is in
lenny, but there have been no significant changes in functionality or
architecture. Also, the Debian packages are needlessly divided into
bin/dev/lib packages. Chicken is small and is intended for
development. It is best kept as a single package.
