[RFC PATCH 0/9] Update Racket to 8.4. Adjust Chez Scheme packages. |
|
Date: |
Tue, 8 Feb 2022 10:13:16 -0500 |
Racket 8.4 hasn't been released yet (expect it in a matter of days), but I
wanted to solicit feedback on these changes early.
On the Racket side of things, discussions upstream and with other distribution
packagers have clarified what a ``minimal Racket'' package ought to consist
of, which in turn suggested a nice new boundary between the lowest-level
Racket VM packages, which are concerned with bootstrapping and platform
support, and a more uniform use of layered and tethered installations for both
the 'racket-minimal' and 'racket' packages. I've also started getting the
sources for the other main-distribution Racket packages directly from their
respective repositories, rather than extracting them from the bundled
tarballs. All in all, it's a few steps closer to the goal of a build system
for Racket packages.
For Chez Scheme, I set out to package Racket's variant of Chez Scheme---which
supports architectures not yet supported upstream, e.g. aarch64---and to share
more between the upstream and Racket packages. I also tweaked various things I
found along the way: hopefully some are clear improvements, though there are
some prime opportunities for bikeshedding about naming things.
Let me know what you think!

Sorry for the delay. I cleaned up some of your commits and their
messages, but apart from that pushed v7 without major changes. I'm
marking this as done now; if you feel I've made a mistake somewhere,
don't hesitate to reopen.
Cheers
