Re: [racket-dev] potentially renaming /usr/bin/planet to /usr/bin/planet-racket in Debian

2012-08-18 Thread Robby Findler
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.)

 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?

 Thanks

Thanks.  I made a similar change to Debian's package for our 5.3 upload
to resolve the bug on our end.  I also added a note to our NEWS file
mentioning the future removal upstream and raco planet as the
replacement.

Cheers,

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.

 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.

It will stay 'as is' for this release. But we intend to deprecate 'planet' so 
that people begin to switch to 'raco planet'. -- Matthias

I think it should be okay to remove it. All of the functionality is
covered by using raco planet.
