NOTES for chicken-5-new-egg-install

• TODO Functor expansions produce additional import libs
  • these need to be installed.
  • compile + install <mod>_.import.scm, if existing?
• TODO Proposals
  • Encode install-prefix in cache-dir name
  • (ckeen) No internet connection + cache shouldn't be an error
• TODO Allow only specific programs to be used in custom-build?
• TODO We have no way to specify source-level dependencies
  • only if we treat them as installed resources.
  • needs component that is a dependency but not installed.
• TODO Catch circular dependencies
  • both in egg- and component dependencies.
  • test that this works.
• TODO check-remote-version should accept cached egg if local version == desired version
• Unimplemented -keep-installed -reinstall -proxy -no-install -username -password -init -deploy -keep-going -scan -csi -show-depends -show-foreign-depends -prefix
• Suggestion by florz: sign eggs (or hashes) and decode using NaCl
  • https://tweetnacl.cr.yp.to/software.html
• Setup features
  • TODO "-feature" + "-no-feature"
• Issues
  • .inline-file loading from file-requirements does not ignore repository
    • this may be a problem if inline files are used heavily.
• TODO Handling of syntax-only/runtime requirements
  • removed: require-at-runtime extension property
  • with modules, all of this doesn't make much sense.
  • ##sys#trequire-for-syntax: still needed internally (eval.scm: core-unit-requirements)
  • syntax, syntax-only: currently dropped.
• TODO Component dependencies need to be converted to filenames
  • before generating build-commands.
  • but specific for genfiles (source prop or name), exts, prgs.
  • dependencies are currently disabled in chicken-do command-generation.
• TODO chicken-status
  • option to show/dump egg-infos
  • option to list cached eggs (+ version)
  • filter egg-info and list components.
• TODO Documentation
  • update egg-tutorial on wiki
