Re: [racket-dev] [plt] Push #21341: master branch updated

2010-10-26 Thread Eli Barzilay
Does anyone have a preference or an objection to use this change in
the release?

* The important bit here is the sh installers for unix -- they're
  currently using `plt' and `mz'.  (There were some complaints about
  this.)

* It's easy to verify -- just run the generated installers.  (And look
  inside the source tgz/zip files.)  Even if there are problems,
  fixing them is just repackaging the installers, keeping the same
  contents.

(Clarification: I don't have an opinion.)

I like the change, but I object to late changes in releases. The build
script may be an okay exception. My net opinion is no opinion.

(OK, so I have two weak votes on the two sides now.)

The main point that makes this an exception is:

  * [...] Even if there are problems, fixing them is just
repackaging the installers, keeping the same contents.

In other words, a bug in code almost always requires a new release,
but a bug in packaging requires just re-packaging and that can be done
any time (and this has been done in the past when there were packaging
issues).
