To support Unix-style installations that distinguish "lib" from "share", I'm moving some of the directories (again) under the "racket" directory. This change should also help with creating a source bundle that includes pre-built core collections and packages, since the source bundle can simply discard "lib" while keeping "share".
One consequence of the change is that `make' will complain when you try to update an old build (after I push the change). Delete the "config.rktd" file that it complains about and try again. The "lib" directory is for platform-specific files, and the "share" directory is for platform-independent files. So, "collects" and "pkgs" (along with "doc") belong in "share" in a Unix-style installation, and that's now where they go by default. Instead of moving "collects" from "lib" to "share", I'm moving it back to where it was: immediately within "racket" in the repository, and at the top level of an in-place install. When I moved "collects" to "lib", I thought it would be nicer to have it in a more similar place for in-place and Unix-style installs. Now that I've tried it, though, I think it works better the old way. The similarity turned out to be weak, since a Unix-style install puts "collects" under "share/racket", not just "share". Also, keeping "collects" out of "lib" and "share" means that those directories contain only items generated by a build (i.e., neither directory shows up in the git repository). _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
