Here's a hook for me to ask a question: how to list the installed
eggs? I mean the "real" eggs names.
I'd expect "chicken-setup -l" to list only the names I've installed
with "chicken-setup <egg>". So I could just execute something like
$ chicken-setup -d `chicken-setup -l | awk '{print $1}'`
to reinstall all eggs.
Currently "chicken-set -l" lists more names than what we actually have
in the remote repository (at call/cc.org). Example:
$ chicken-setup mathh
...
$ chicken-setup -l | grep mathh
mathh Version: 1.9 (Release 200704172112)
mathh-float Version: 1.9
mathh-int Version: 1.9
If I try "chicken-setup mathh-int", chicken-setup will fail because
there's no such an egg in the remote repository (although it is listed
as installed on the local repo).
As far as I understand, an egg may be a set of extensions, and
"chicken-setup -l" lists all the extensions, not only eggs names.
Maybe we should have an option to list only the "real" eggs names, or
change "-l" to do so.
Or maybe I'm missing something really obvious... :-)
Best wishes,
Mario
