I recall that I didn't like this too much, due to the added ambiguousness of where eggs are found + installed, but if this solves multiple problems in a relatively elegant way (separating dependency instllation, for packagers, and overlayed repos for salmonella runs), than I guess there is no better way. Mario, would this help with Salmonella? felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
