That's what it does now. I didn't realize that the /repository URL existed; I was calling 'chicken-setup -fetch-tree' and piping in the output. :-) I guess it works either way. > PS: you get an internal server error if you strip the last slash from > the URL (http://cleo.uwindsor.ca/cgi-bin/gentoo-eggs). Ah, right. I've fixed that. The "magic" behind this is a basic CGI script; I'm attaching it, anyone could run the same system on any CGI server. > Thanks, Graham! Neat solution! Thanks! Leonardo, if you want to use my URL to set things up and verify things are working well with your build system, that's fine. Let's just agree that, at some future point in time, we'll move the CGI script to a more appropriate host. Graham
