Re: [racket-users] inadvertently upgraded Racket version. Would like to make an older installed version current.
Did you install racket using a package manager, perhaps from the racket PPA? (I’m guessing the answer is yes, since this seems like the most likely situation to have caused an unintentional upgrade.) If so, I think you should generally get the right behavior from using that same package manager to reinstall the earlier version, and “pin” it using whatever mechanism your package manager provides. If you have code that’s not a part of a package installed by raco pkg (or installed with the —link option), I can imagine needing to recompile some sources using raco setup. I suppose I should first have asked this question: what’s your reason for installing the earlier version? I ask because if the issue is CS/BC, you should be aware that there is a BC version of 8.0 available. Finally, let me apologize in advance if anything I’m telling you is partly or completely mistaken!

Hi, I'm using linux Ubuntu.

Re: [racket-users] inadvertently upgraded Racket version. Would like to make an older installed version current.
raco pkg remove is definitely not what you want. In general, I know there are languages (ocaml, haskell, rust) that put their package managers “outside” of the currently installed version, so it might make sense that a package manager command could be used to change to an earlier version of the language. In Racket, by contrast, the package manager is part of the installation, on the “inside”. However, you can certainly have multiple versions of Racket installed at the same time. The details of which one is “active”, and what that word even means, is highly dependent on what operating system you’re using. What operating system are you using?

[racket-users] inadvertently upgraded Racket version. Would like to make an older installed version current.
I inadvertently upgraded Racket version. Would like to make an older installed version current. So now when I start DrRacket v8 is current. Is there a command that makes a specified version current? Does raco pkg remove effectively make the previous version current? Thanks. Don. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
