I've now done the first step of this work. You can see the results here: https://github.com/plt/racket/pull/373 This works to the degree that the core still compiles. No other testing has happened yet -- that's the next step. A number of packages will need additional dependencies. I'd like to get feedback on exactly how this is organized. In particular, a bunch of things are now in a `compatibility-lib` collection: * almost all of `mzlib` * `compatibility/*` * `racket/mpair` and `racket/mlist` There's also the following new packages: `errortrace-lib`, `errortrace-doc`, `unstable-contract-lib`, `unstable-options-lib`, `sandbox-lib`, `data-lib`, `rackunit`. The `help` collection moved to `scribble/lib`. Where there isn't a new documentation package, libraries are mostly documented in `unstable` or `racket-doc`. Things that didn't move: * `mzlib/compile`: This is used in one place in the compiler, and should probably be handled differently. Matthew, any suggestions? * `mzlib/unit200`. This is loaded into a new namespace in which code is evaluated in `setup/unpack`. I don't understand what is happening there, and thus won't change it. It's also still used genuinely in `file/gzip`. * `mzlib/contract`. This is different enough from `racket/contract` that I'd prefer to have someone who knows the contract system better handle this. Also, much of the contract system implementation is in the `mzlib` directory, which seems odd. * `srfi/13`: used in `net/cookie` in a way that's intertwined with `srfi/14` and would be hard to remove on its own. * `srfi/8`: Used in unmodified srfi code that we probably shouldn't change. * Other SRFIs -- used in the `db` collection, or depended on by those that are.
