1511	"Support for `files' form in the ""toplevel"" of egg description files"	Mario Domenech Goulart		"{{{.meta}}} files support a {{{files}}} form with a list of files that should be cached by henrietta-cache (use case: some egg repositories contain stuff that are not related to eggs -- e.g., tarballs (SRFIs -- why? no clue), PDF documentation, glue code for other implementations etc.).  {{{henrietta-cache}}} uses the {{{files}}} form to determine what to cache.

As far as I can tell, the egg description file doesn't support a {{{files}}} form.  I think it would be nice to support this, so that we can just use {{{(uri meta-file ...file.egg)}}} in .release-info files to specify which files to cache.

Without this, files not necessary for the installation of eggs will be cached and downloaded by chicken-install but not used."	enhancement	closed	major	5.0	build system	5.0.0rc1	fixed	egg format, uri meta-file, files
