\section{\texttt{(srfi *)}}
Ported by: Derick Eddington
Scheme Requests For Implementation (SRFIs) for R6RS/Ikarus can be found
at:
\url{https://code.launchpad.net/~ikarus-srfi-team/ikarus-libraries/srfi}
Currently provided:
\begin{itemize}
\item SRFI-0: \verb|(srfi feature-expand)|
\item SRFI-1: \verb|(srfi lists)|
\item SRFI-2: \verb|(srfi and-let)|

\end{itemize}
To install (you'll need a new version of the Bazaar revision
control system):
\begin{verbatim}
$ bzr checkout --lightweight http://bazaar.launchpad.net/
~ikarus-srfi-team/ikarus-libraries/srfi
\end{verbatim}
After you do the above, you'll get a new \verb|srfi/| directory in the
directory you ran the checkout command, and that parent directory of the
new srfi/ directory needs to be in your
\verb|IKARUS_LIBRARY_PATH|, so that
attempts to import \verb|(srfi ---)| will look in the directory containing the
\verb|srfi/| directory.
You can stay up-to-date by changing directory into your
\verb|srfi/| and doing:
\begin{verbatim}
$ bzr update
\end{verbatim}

\section{\texttt{(math number-theory)}}
Provided by: Jens Axel Søgaard
URL: \url{https://code.launchpad.net/~soegaard/ikarus-libraries/soegaard}
This library contains number theory code that I have written
over a long period. The code began as an experiment. I
grabbed a book on number theory from the shelve (\emph{``Elementary
Number Theory''} by Gareth A. Jones and J. Mary Jones) and began
illustrating each definition and each theorem with Scheme
code. The first half of the surce code is thus a well
commented mix of definitions, theorems and code.
The second half contains more sophisticated algorithms mostly
of from the excellent book \emph{``Modern Computer Algebra''} by
Joachim von zur Gathen and Jürgen Gerhard. The algorithms for
factorizing large integers come from this book.
Finally there are some definitions of special functions,
mostly inspired by the problems of the Euler Project.

\section{\texttt{(r6rs-clos)}}
Provided by: Christian Sloma
URL: \url{https://launchpad.net/r6rs-clos}
\rnrs{6}-clos is a port of tiny-clos to the latest
(6$^{\textrm{th}}$) revision
of the language standard for scheme. It uses the library
system that is new in \rnrs{6} to structure the code based on
functionality (bootstrap of core classes and generic functions,
actual implementation of the standard protocols, class layout
and slot access \ldots).
The homepage for now is \url{https://launchpad.net/r6rs-clos},
where my current development branch can be found.
% Currently the code in my repository will only work with the
% 0.0.2 release of Ikarus and uses a private copy of two
% SRFIs, but after the 0.0.3 release I intend to fix these so
% that installing should be as simple as putting the r6rs-clos
% files into the ikarus library load path and installing the
% srfi's accordingly.
