     Type:  defect                                       |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  minor                                        |   Milestone:  4.7.0
Component:  core tools                                   |     Version:  4.6.x
 Keywords:  chicken-install, retrieve, transport, local  |

 Example:

 {{{
 $ chicken-install -r -t local -l /home/mario/src/chicken-eggs/release/4
 html-utils
 retrieving ...

 Warning: destination for transport `local' ignored
  html-utils located at /home/mario/src/chicken-eggs/release/4/html-
 utils/tags/0.6
 }}}

 This command doesn't actually retrieve the egg code, although

 {{{
 $ chicken-install -r -t svn -l https://code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-
 eggs/release/4 html-utils
 }}}

 and

 {{{
 $ chicken-install -r -t http -l http://code.call-cc.org/cgi-
 bin/henrietta.cgi html-utils
 }}}

 do.
