since this is more about usage
Is there a reason why egg meta files don't support make depends, that is
depends that are only required during the installation/build process and can
be removed afterwards?
Like, say, ‘setup-helper’ ;-)
An annotation like (setup-depends (setup-helper 1.5.2”)) will be ignored but
serve as documentation; the meta file is just an a-list s-expression. With the
dependency still needed in ‘depends’.
Would chicken-install remove the setup-dependencies fetched, rather than
discovered, as part of the install?
Like what if an egg's setup file needs another egg. Should this dependency
just get placed under depends like other dependencies even though it's only
required for the installation?
For now, yes.
