Description
This is about making it possible for egg authors to specify the minimum version of CHICKEN required for their eggs in egg files.
Something like
(minimum-required-chicken-version "5.5.0")
When users try to install eggs, chicken-install should verify whether the version of CHICKEN is recent enough to install the requested eggs.
This gives us more flexibility for making not-so-radical-but-breaking core API changes within a major CHICKEN version, still providing good feedback to users.

I've added a note about that to the manual (http://bugs.call-cc.org/changeset/43108/project).
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
This can already be done by using the (chicken VERSION) dependency. This is just not documented properly.
