== Outdated egg! This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for [[/eggref/5/gather-egg-information|the CHICKEN 5 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 [[https://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-5.html|egg index]]. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN. == gather-egg-information === Description This egg implements a replacement for CHICKEN core's {{gather-egg-information}} procedure which works with both old and new [[/egg/henrietta-cache|henrietta-cache]] cache formats. Although it is an obscure, undocumented and likely to be removed CHICKEN core procedure, {{gather-egg-information}} is used by a couple of eggs to extract egg metadata out of a directory containing source code of eggs. Historically, CHICKEN eggs were maintained in a centralized Subversion repository (some still are), which adopted the tags/trunk convention for directory layout. Currently, a [[/releasing-your-egg|distributed egg system]] is in use. Eggs can be hosted on a variety of version control systems, so the tags/trunk layout for egg sources out of Subversion doesn't make sense anymore. [[/egg/henrietta-cache|henrietta-cache]], the tool which fetches egg sources and centralizes them under a ''cache'' directory, got rid of the tags/trunk layout convention in version 1.0, and that change broke the CHICKEN core's {{gather-egg-information}} procedure, since it assumes a tags/trunk layout (in fact, only the {{tags}} directory is relevant here). This egg provides a replacement for CHICKEN core's {{gather-egg-information}} procedure, supporting both henrietta-cache's cache formats (with and without the tags/trunk layout). === Author The CHICKEN Team === Requirements None === API <procedure>(gather-egg-information dir)</procedure> Return an alist mapping egg names (symbols) to their corresponding version and metadata. === License BSD === Version history ; 1.0.0 : Initial release
