Requests
If you need any other bindings, and can make a compelling argument for why Bintracker should make them available, feel free to open a request on the issue tracker.
The following will not be considered for inclusion in Bintracker:
- libraries with limited platform support (eg. Linux-only libraries)
- anything not licensed under MIT, BSD, Apache, LGPL, PD/Unlicense/WTFPL, or similar terms
- libraries not available through Chicken Scheme's extension registry
