Thanks for the info. Binaries may still be good when one wants to install a package only for a single purpose. On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 12:50 AM, Matthew Flatt wrote: > Although packages are not currently distributed in binary form, you can > install built packages (as available from a snapshot

Although packages are not currently distributed in binary form, you can install built packages (as available from a snapshot site) in binary mode by supplying the `--binary' flag to `raco pkg install'. For example, if you start with a Minimal Racket build from http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/snapsho

Sounds good! I think as long as it's possible to somehow choose between byte-code and source-code packages/distributions, there should not be too much to worry about. My server would be very happy with byte-code packages, and my desktop with a full source-code Racket. Laurent On Mon, Sep 16, 20

Hi Laurent, I think that the solution to this are "binary" builds versions of a package that only have the bytecode and documentation. We're a bit behind on binary builds, because when they were discussed for the main repository [1] they were rejected. I hope to be able to still provide them

2013-09-16 Thread Laurent
Hi, (this is not a complain, just an inquiry) While installing Racket on a small server, I wanted to avoid installing gui and doc related libraries. The minimal install was great! Then I wanted to install a package of my own (the aptly named "bazaar"), which requires "images" and other gui libs
