Cool! I'm jealous you even have that opportunity! I use CHICKEN a lot for my own webapps and the main problem I've found in using older versions of CHICKEN is in using eggs. You may want to be very careful to keep the source around for each version of the eggs you use in case an egg gets updated to be incompatible with the CHICKEN version you are on and you may not be able to get the old version after that. (Or maybe I missed a way to use chicken-install to get old versions and their old dependencies?) You may also not want to always be on the latest versions of eggs when setting up new environments which would mean being careful about managing your own versions of eggs; ie keep dev and production environments in sync without always updating the production environment. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
