  Description     : SRFI libraries for Chez Scheme

 SRFI stands for Scheme Requests For Implementation. It is a
 standardization process for extensions to the programming language
 Scheme. Since its start in 1998, the project has been working for
 portability between Scheme implementations.
 .
 This package provides SRFI implementations primarily developed for
 Chez Scheme. Most of the libraries are however fully portable to
 other R6RS implementations.

Almost all Scheme compilers come with a few SRFIs, but Chez Scheme
does not come with any. Yet most Scheme code, including my own,
depends on some SRFIs.

I'm working with upstream to resolve some license issues.

I will maintain this package myself, but would like to see some
coordinated maintenance of Scheme in Debian.
