Isn't that page similar to https://eggs.call-cc.org/4/ and https://eggs.call-cc.org/5/ in terms of content? Regarding to the link to the eggs-[45]-latest repos, I think that can be a bit misleading to people trying to find out the repository of eggs. Those repositories are merely a representation of the egg caches in git format -- they are NOT the canonical repositories of eggs. The canonical repositories should be linked from the egg documentation. Just to give you a historical perspective, the eggs-[45]-latest repos only exist to provide a convenient way for people to get the sources of all eggs. We had that possibility in the past when all eggs were in the subversion repository. With the adoption of the distributed egg system we lost the ability of conveniently obtaining the sources of all eggs. Those git repositories have been created to fill that gap. Regarding versions being up to date or not, the intent of that information is not clear to me (it's very probable that I'm just missing something). Some aspects that may be relevant when comparing egg versions between CHICKEN 4 and 5: * Some egg authors have deliberately stopped updating eggs for CHICKEN 4 once they got ported to CHICKEN 5. * Some egg authors have deliberately decided not to port some eggs from CHICKEN 4 to CHICKEN 5. * Some extensions that are eggs in CHICKEN 5 are core units in CHICKEN 4. * Most people who are creating new eggs are not making them available for CHICKEN 4. All the best. Mario -- http://parenteses.org/mario
