Re: [Chicken-users] Eggs breakage due to removal of deprecated features

[Alan Post]

Today's report shows a significant improvement to the nightly
regression tests:

  http://tests.call-cc.org/master/linux/x86/2012/10/10/salmonella-report/

Five days ago, there were 153 failed egg installations[1].  We're now
down to 43, when before the deprecation there were 11[2].

Thank you everyone for the fixes you've comitted in the past few days.
Particularly Felix, Kon, and Alex, who cleaned up eggs with lots of
dependencies.

If the nighly regression report has been too crowded to look at,
it is now a fair bit easier to spot problems and I invite you to
check it again.  If you make a new release, say hello to Felix and
the rest of the core team in your commit message. ;-)
