First you can walk and check the dependency graph from the information available in the .egg files. For an empty egg-repo you could disable previously existing eggs by moving or renaming (salmonella has no dependencies, AFAICT). That is a somewhat crude method, admittedly. But you always have the option to use a fresh chicken install, and let salmonella invoke the tools from that installation. felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
