I was professionally writing Ruby code as that community struggled
through package issues. I hope that experience can shed some light
here. Also I'd like to understand the basic use cases and how they work
in planet2.
As a user, here are my 2 use cases:

Maybe this was discussed in the other (quite long) thread about Planet
2, but another thing that the lack of versions makes difficult is having

Well, After sending my message, I remembered another place, and now I
think there may be more uses. So, I don't think a backward-incompatible
change is
Yes, I think this is a good idea.
It's backward-incompatible, but looking for existing uses of
`scribble/doclang', I find only two uses not in the distribution: your
Planet package and the ICFP paper. The current `scribble/doclang' has
already drifted from the ICFP paper, and I imagine that you're
I'm reading the documentation on how scribble/doclang works,
http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/doclang.html
but it doesn't say really what it needs to work.
That is, a program written in scribble/doclang must provide a few
elements besides the chunks of document: it needs to also provide

Distribute a primary wrapper package called "webapis" and separate specific
versions such as "webapis1", "webapis2", and so forth. Have the code in
"webapis" determine at compile-t

I'm trying to understand how things are supposed to work in planet2
without version information.
Let's say I release a package, "webapis". Time passes, and I notice that
Racket gets some cool new features (eg, better SSL support) that the
"webapis" package should use. I write the code, and ...

Clarification: I meant the TR tests.

FWIW, I get this intermittently when I run the Racket tests.

Yes, that's part of the transition plan. Right now is not an opportune
time for me to do it because of finals, etc. But I anticipate to get
it ready for Eli to make the necessary redirects by Christmas.

The default Planet 2 package name services are URLs based on plt-etc.byu.edu.
While I understand why Planet 2 is hosted there -- all of Racket is at one
university or another -- wouldn't a racket-lang.org URL be better, and then
redirect to *.byu.edu behind the scenes? Like planet2.racket-lang.org
