Re: [racket-users] eq? behavior changed on Racket CS?

[Matthew Flatt]

Yes, this is an expected difference. The Racket documentation still
only promises `eq?` for characters with scalar values in the range 0 to
255, but Chez Scheme characters are always `eq?` when they are `eqv?`.

[racket-users] eq? behavior changed on Racket CS?

[Stephen Chang]

Hi everyone, Has eq? behavior changed with Racket CS? (ie, 8.0+)

Specifically:

$ racket79/bin/racket
Welcome to Racket v7.9 [bc].
> (eq? (integer->char 955) (integer->char 955))
#f

$ plt/racket/bin/racket
Welcome to Racket v8.1.0.6 [cs].
> (eq? (integer->char 955) (integer->char 955))
#t

Is this expected behavior?

(I know this has probably been addressed and I wasn't paying
attention, but I did a quick search of the list and docs and couldnt
find anything, so just want to double check. Thanks!)

Re: [racket-users] Freenode -> libera.chat

[Stephen De Gabrielle]

I don’t use IRC much/ever - but in the event the irc links need to change
from freenode, links are present in the following places:

1. Homepage
2. https://racket-lang.org/irc-chat.html
3. Wiki - github
4. Reddit - mod access required

Current text: #racket IRC  on
freenode.net
Replacement text: #racket IRC on irc.libera.chat

Current link: https://webchat.freenode.net/#racket
Replacement link: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat/#racket
(Thanks to Tony Garnock-Jones )

Is this to become the canonical IRC chat room for Racket?


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd be in favour of moving off Freenode, myself.

What would need updating? Presumably little more than the following:

  - https://racket-lang.org/irc-chat.html

Just a heads up,

With the recent damage to the Freenode IRC network, a new `#racket` has 
been founded on irc.libera.chat.

I've moved over there (nick `tonyg` still) and deleted my Freenode account 
(such as it was).

Re: [racket-users] I want a package at installation scope but also to keep my install clean

[Nathaniel W Griswold]

Hm, I think maybe i will just abort this effort on my system since it seems 
like Matthew is already kinda working on making this exact thing better (as he 
said earlier) at https://github.com/racket/racket/commit/dfbb7040a

I'll just use user scope now and wait until this kind of thing is explicitly 
supported, unless you guys think it's possible to do correctly now?

Re: [racket-users] I want a package at installation scope but also to keep my install clean

[Nathaniel W Griswold]

To be clear:

"/opt/Racket/Racket 8.1" is the system racket which the unprivileged user 
cannot write.
"/opt/Racket/Packages/8.1" is a unprivileged-writable directory intended for 
use as a package destination.

 One potential drawback of your approach is that executables,
 documentation, etc., associated with the extra package will get
 rendered into the main installation area instead of the "/opt/Racket"
 are. That may be fine for your purposes, but a more strictly layered
 installation is meant to be possible. It turns out that some pieces
 have been missing for layering, and fixing that is an area of current
 work (https://github.com/racket/racket/commit/dfbb7040a).

Re: [racket-users] I want a package at installation scope but also to keep my install clean

[Nathaniel W Griswold]

Oh, and i'll just duplicate the issue here for Matthew / the Racket side since 
it could just be racket related:

The errors i ran into are when using a custom PLTCONFIGDIR with this 
config.rktd:

---
#hash((build-stamp . "")
  (catalogs
   .
   ("https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/8.1/catalog/; #f))
  (default-scope . "installation")
  (doc-dir . "/opt/Racket/Packages/8.1/doc")
  (doc-search-dirs . (#f "/opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/doc"))
  (doc-search-url
   .
   
"https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/8.1/doc/local-redirect/index.html;)
  (links-file . "/opt/Racket/Packages/8.1/links.rktd")
  (links-search-files . (#f "/opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/share/links.rktd"))
  (pkgs-dir . "/opt/Racket/Packages/8.1/pkgs")
  (pkgs-search-dirs . (#f "/opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/share/pkgs")))
---

The files that `raco pkg install` as an unprivileged user ends up trying to 
delete are:

open-output-file: error deleting file
  path: /opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/share/shares.rktd
  system error: Permission denied; errno=13

open-output-file: error deleting file
  path: /opt/Racket/Racket 8.1/lib/launchers.rktd
  system error: Permission denied; errno=13


Is this expected behavior?

 Hello,
 
 I was setting up Racket on my linux box and i realized that there are a 
 lot of
 options for path configuration and i forgot a lot of what i discovered last
 time i dug into this. I was trying to set up installation scope but maybe a
 little cleanly and figured someone might have some input.
 
 I want a package at roughly installation scope, but i kinda wanted to know 
 what
 was added by me and what was part of the default installation. Is this
 reasonable or should i just deal with it and dump stuff in 
 $RACKET/share/pkgs?
 If it is reasonable then what is the best way to set this up?
 
 Just FYI I did an in-place install of Racket in "/opt/Racket/Racket\ 8.1"
 symlinked to /opt/Racket...
 
 I think maybe what i want is to set  to something like
 
 (in /opt/Racket/etc/config.rktd)
 
 #hash(... (pkgs-search-dirs . "/opt/Racket 8.1/share/pkgs-system" #f)
 (links-search-files . ("/opt/Racket/share/pkgs-system/links.rktd" #f)) ...)
 
 Then i just did a `sudo /opt/Racket/bin/raco pkg install --scope-dir
 /opt/Racket/share/pkgs-system rash`
 
 ... and the new package seems to be working fine for my users.
 
 Is that what i wanted or is there something better? Is there a way to 
 configure
 config.rktd additions that will persist across upgrades or will i have to
 update my config.rktd for every racket release? Do other people do this 
 kind of
 thing or just dump stuff in the installation scope? Maybe there are more
 options with a unix-style install, i haven't really tried one yet.
 
 Thanks!

Re: [racket-users] I want a package at installation scope but also to keep my install clean

[Nathaniel W Griswold]

Sam,

Yes, the tool and PLTCONFIGDIR help me better control things. I think the tool 
is helpful. I ran into a problem with racket trying to delete files and posted 
it on github at https://github.com/samdphillips/raco-pkg-env/issues/3

I don't think it's really a raco-pkg-env issue, though, i guess it wouldbe more 
of a racket issue if it is a problem and not a mistake on my part.

Nate
