Hi Ivan.

I noticed you created the /debian directory for some eggs. I think that for
Debian we will have to generate two files, something like:

http://www.emqbit.com/tmp/chicken/libsrfi-40-chicken_r6000.orig.tar.gz
http://www.emqbit.com/tmp/chicken/libsrfi-40-chicken_r6000.diff.gz

(These are not the actual final names, we still have to decide how
that would be)

I can create a script that generates the 2 files (the .tar.gz and the .diff.gz)
for each egg from the subversion repository.

I was advised not to include packaging-related information in the
.tar.gz but  I guess you want to keep this information in the
chicken repos, inside of the egg dir. So I guess that a script
generating the .diff solves the problem. It might be extended if
we ever make packages for another distribution.

Can I help you with something? Perhaps sending you the /debian dir
for some packages?

Regards,
N.-
