Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Introduction

The Ugarit egg provides both the command-line tool for the Ugarit backup/archival system and a library for accessing the underlying content-addressed store.

Documentation of the API will be forthcoming when round tuits are obtained. In the meantime, there is a nice online manual for Ugarit documenting its use as a backup/archival system.

Requirements

Many eggs are used to support the good work of Ugarit. The current list is miscmacros, gdbm, tiger-hash, z3, lzma, srfi-37. The gdbm and lzma eggs, at least, depend on the presence of third-party C libraries, as documented in their egg pages.
