Still on the .deb / apt-get thing.... Yesterday at our local coding dojo I installed Racket using apt-get from Linux Mint official repo ( http://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/racket).
I got sad when I noticed that the version was 5.1.1 (same version of the one in the Ubuntu repo http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/racket), without many of the recent improvements with direct impact on newcomers, like the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl-R x ctrl-T). I also noticed a problem I had experienced before, and that has been reported here in the list: highlight between matching parens not working (missing lib?). I believe this is fixed in newer versions... Oh, and I wish DrRacket would show on the Applications menu! I thought of installing from the repo since that could be easier for people to upgrade over time. Next week I ought to reinstall from the website download, maybe the next version 5.2.1. Unfortunatelly we had to interrupt our dojo in the middle because of a building that fell down right next to us... To the audience, that was more scaring than programming in Racket...
