You can install a package in binary form with `raco pkg install --binary foo`, which fetches pre-built bytecode and pre-rendered documentation from the package catalog build server. This requires you use the same Racket version the build server uses, which is usually the latest released version. This also completely skips installing dependencies only needed for build time (build-deps in a package's info.rkt). You can further omit installing pre-rendered documentation by using --binary-lib instead of --binary. Side question for Racket package system folks: will the migration to Chez scheme affect binary installs of packages? I seem to recall discussion that bytecode might be going away as part of the Chez transition. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
