[racket-dev] reading :foo as keyword in Racket 6.0?
Any chance that 6.0 will read symbols beginning with : (other than : exactly) as keywords? (I was thinking that a major version number might be a good time to do this change, in case anyone is concerned that the change might break some code somewhere. IIRC, someone said there was a SRFI implementation that kludged its own keywords from symbols and might need a small tweak in response to this change. I'm not aware of any other code that would be affected by this change. Racket could continue to *write* keywords with #: for now, if that makes the change easier.) P.S., This change would make this the most magical holiday season ever. Neil V. _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev

Use `raco pkg install` pulls packages from the network, instead of from Hmm, I think that will not work for me since my intention is to actually try doing some development work on the packages. For now at least I'll work with the normal in-place configuration. Thanks for the response. David _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
