I'm not crazy at getting bleeding edge eggs.. However, I do like to upgrade `chicken' itself whenever a newer release comes out. Only realize that i have to find out and reinstall all eggs again. (Because at least all the eggs have to be recompiled using the new chicken?) > What editor are you using? Emacs. You mentioned in the other mail it has no problem with default setup. i think that may be due to my emacs config then, i will check my config. However, eliminating use of tabs would still be much better, where the indention will be the same in all editors. -William _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
