[Chicken-users] sha1 unusable in Chicken 2.3?

[Alejandro Forero Cuervo]

It seems the sha1 egg is no longer installable in Chicken 2.3:

    # /opt/chicken-2.3/bin/chicken-setup sha1

    The extension sha1 does not exist.

This, together with the problem in Chicken 2.41 that I reported in

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/chicken-users/2006-07/msg00417.html ,

makes it impossible to use svnwiki; I don't know of a versions of
Chicken in which it works.

I find this frustrating: using [sha1 or sqlite3 (the case of which has
already been discussed here)] and [call-with-values or anything that
uses it (such as something calling srfi-40's stream-filter)] renders a
program unusable, it seems it will be broken on all Chicken versions.
:-(

Maybe modules should try to continue working with older Chicken
versions?  And maybe whenever a bad compiler bug (such as, IMHO, the
one for call/values) is found, a release should be made right away
(even if it only the minor version number is increased, ala 2.41.1)?

Alejo, a little bit frustrated.
