I think you can remove the comment here; presumably we now know that
CHICKEN_REPOSITORY_PATH is the one that matters.  :-)

Could you please ensure that earlier comments notably at
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/43976#1> have been taken into account, that
the SRFI packages still build and have a layout consistent with the
var/lib/chicken/11 search path above, and send a v2 of the whole series?

Thanks in advance!

Ludo’.
