Hi all, I am getting close to have a working implementation of a planet proxy, and I can make a release once I can resolve/implement against the following questions:
1 - does the planet system make use of the 'required-core-version'? I was able to install a package marked for 4.1 (via the planet edit metadata page) from PLT4.0. What should the behavior be in such case? 2 - also - does the planet system make use of the 'repositories' value from info.ss? 3 - the package-source url (http://planet.plt-scheme.org/package-source/) used to be visible with package directories but now it is forbidden. This page provides a point for a crawler to mirror the packages. Can we make it (and the children path) visible again?
