I get the following error when runing the TR tests:

place-channel-put: value not allowed in a message
  value: '#:methods
  ...

Is 733907474190da499a1782b230086170c5b87643 missing from the release?

Now running the tests without places.

I'm seeing that in a fresh build. (Didn't see it before, because I had
mangled my build.)

I'll push a repair shortly.

Re: [racket-dev] `#%declare' and cross-phase persistent modules

2013-07-22 Thread Carl Eastlund
I get the same thing.  Also, the error message is particularly unhelpful.
It does not give the name of the module, a source location, or any
indication of what part of the module did not match what part of the
grammar in what way.  This is pretty much impossible to debug without
searching for every use of #%declare in the code base, and tracking down
every macro that can possibly expand into it.

I've updated "info.rkt" files so that the man pages we have are now
installed. There are still many executables without man pages (i.e., we
never had them).

[racket-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v5.3.6

2013-07-22 Thread Ryan Culpepper

Checklist items for the v5.3.6 release
  (using the v5.3.5.900 release candidate build)

Search for your name to find relevant items, reply when you finish an
item (please indicate which item/s is/are done).  Also, if you have any
commits that should have been picked, make sure that the changes are in.

Important: new builds are created without announcement, usually whenever
I pick a few commits.  If you need to commit changes, please make sure
you tell me to pick it into the release branch.

--> Release candidates are at
-->   http://pre.racket-lang.org/release/installers

Please use these installers (or source bundles) -- don't test from
your own git clone (don't test the `master' branch by mistake!).  To
get the tests directory in such a directory, you can do this:
  cd ...racket-root...
  git archive --remote=git://git.racket-lang.org/plt.git release \
  -- collects/tests | tar x

Ok there is progress to report, I can now build the core package alone.
However one thing is missing, the man pages are not installed by the make
install phase. For openSUSE (yet it should be the same for other distros)
every executable file should have a man page.

Thanks

[racket-dev] `#%declare' and cross-phase persistent modules

2013-07-22 Thread Matthew Flatt
As of v5.90.0.2 (pending), to declare a cross-phase persistent module,
the module body must include

 (#%declare #:cross-phase-persistent)

If the module declaration fails to meet the syntactic and import
constraints of a cross-phase persistent module, then a syntax error is
reported.

This change is backward-incompatible in two ways:

 * Module declarations that are intended as cross-phase persistent
   won't be, anymore, until a `#%declare' form is added.

   I think cross-phase persistence is new enough --- and the old, quiet
   inference of persistence is sufficiently distressing --- that this
   won't be much of an issue.

 * The grammar of fully-expanded modules now includes `#%declare'
   forms.

   Programs that process fully-expanded modules are not common, but I
   expect that they exist outside of the main distribution. Those
   programs will need to be updated. Meanwhile, they won't break until
   they see a module that has a `#%declare' form, which won't happen
   often (at least for the near future).

Although `#:cross-phase-persistent' is the only keyword recognized by
`#%declare' initially, we'll add more. One possibility is a declaration
that corresponds to `compile-enforce-module-constants'.

I named the form `#%declare' instead of `declare' to avoid conflicts,
and also because I expect the form to be used more often in macro
expansions than directly, so it seems like a "#%" kind of form.
