I also added a note to our NEWS file mentioning the future removal upstream and "raco planet" as the replacement.

Re: [racket-dev] potentially renaming /usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-racket in Debian
I've pushed a change to the current git version of Racket that removes the 'planet' binary from plt/bin. (Note that 'raco planet' does all the same things and avoids the conflict mentioned below.)

Re: [racket-dev] potentially renaming /usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-racket in Debian
It will stay 'as is' for this release. But we intend to deprecate 'planet' so that people begin to switch to 'raco planet'. -- Matthias On Jul 30, 2012, at 9:43 AM, Doug Williams wrote: > I have some scripts that still use planet.

Re: [racket-dev] potentially renaming /usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-racket in Debian
I have some scripts that still use planet. I use development links as a substitute for a local PLaneT-like capability and have scripts to do this for me. Some of these are on production servers. I would create an alias for it anyway, but would rather it stayed as is.

Re: [racket-dev] potentially renaming /usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-racket in Debian
I think it should be okay to remove it. All of the functionality is covered by using "raco planet".

Re: [racket-dev] potentially renaming /usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-racket in Debian
The Racket core distribution has already started deprecating the 'planet' command in favour of going through the 'raco' command and the 'planet' subcommand: raco planet ... rather than planet ... The current documentation does not refer to the 'planet' command at all. If users are still using it, then an alias would be sufficient, since it is unlikely that programs (certainly none in the Racket distribution) call 'planet' directly.

[racket-dev] potentially renaming /usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-racket in Debian
Hi All; We're currently trying to figure out the right way to handle a name conflict in Debian between racket and an rss aggregator named planet-venus. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680685 I don't use the command /usr/bin/planet myself, so I was wondering if anybody could explain the likely disruption caused by (hypothetically) renaming it. In particular is it likely to be somether where people are using it from scripts or cron jobs, or would making a shell alias (alias planet planet-racket) suffice to avoid retraining fingers?
