The development version of the package manager now supports Git repository references using "http[s]://" and sites other than GitHub. That is, a package source can have the form
git://host/[...] for a host other than "github.com", and a source can have one of the forms http://[...].git https://[...].git which use the Git protocol over a "smart" HTTP(S) transport. In particular, the "HTTPS" URL that appears on a GitHub repository page will work directly as a package source. Since generalized Git repository references are not supported in the upcoming v6.1.1 release, it will be a while before you'll want to publish package sources using the new forms. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
