[racket-dev] DrDr / GR2 status

2010-11-09 Thread Jay McCarthy
You may be noticing that there is a lot of noise coming from DrDr right now. There are three kinds of problems: 1. The platform specific GUI wrappers needed to be disabled, but since the prop file is part of the repository, it will be a while before DrDr is building a version where it is disabled

It occured to me while making this small patch that the name of the macro shown in the error message might not be the same as the one the user called. Namely, if the user renames or prefixes the macro when requiring it then they will get a mismatch. This seems to be consistent with how `raise-synta

I should have paid more attention to your observation that it might be related to sawfish. Eli ran into the same problem, and the latest development version now avoids annoying sawfish. Let me know if you still see problems. At Sat, 30 Oct 2010 20:31:43 +0200, "Jose A. Ortega Ruiz" wrote: > On Sat

2010-11-09 Thread Robby Findler
I don't understand how I can call get-file differently to improve what seems to be happening currently under mac os x. In particular, when I try to save a file "x.scrbl" it asks me if "x.rkt" is what I meant and the default choice is to keep the scrbl extension (this is under 10.6; maybe things are
