Re: [racket-dev] lib changes between versions

Ah, these look like good approaches. First, I think I'll have to shore up
my usage of raco setup now to be sure I'm generating zos correctly for
the two different versions.

 Is there a command line for racket that'll cause it to find mine under

Re: [racket-dev] lib changes between versions

2015-01-07 Thread Matthew Flatt
If your library's name is also `json` you could put in a place that is
included in PLTCOLLECTS when you run v5.2.1, but use a PLTCOLLECTS that
doesn't include it when your run v6.1 (in much the same way that you
use different PLTCOMPILEDROOTS settings for the different versions).

If your library has a different name, you could similarly point
PLTCOLLECTS at it for v.5.2.1, and use a different implementation ---
accessed either via PLTCOLLECTS or by installing as a package --- that
wraps the main-distribution one for v6.1.
