The Ubuntu PPA is now updated for version 8.0 as well, and available on
current Ubuntu versions (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases):

  https://launchpad.net/~plt/+archive/ubuntu/racket

Due to changes in how the new CS compiler works, some files have been
moved between the three .deb packages that are in the distribution.

(details: pre-compiled .zo and .dep files are now in the architecture
 dependent "racket" package instead of the "racket-common" package)

There might be a higher chance than usual of breakage because of the
major version change. Please do report any packaging bugs on github:

  https://github.com/takikawa/racket-ppa

Cheers,
Asumu

Re: [racket-users] Sticky scrollable nav bar in docs

"sticky" looks worse to me on that example page --- I have to scroll
to the bottom of all the set docs before I can read the navbar

2021-02-18 Thread Yury Bulka
I agree this is a useful improvement. I would consider using "position:
sticky" instead of "position: fixed" as that is generally less
"intrusive" to the layout and doesn't create a need for a second scroll
bar (the element would scroll as needed with the main scrollbar, but
still be sticky in the sense that it would keep itself within the
viewport).

[racket-users] [Funny] Package server registration/reset email code flow changed

2021-02-18 Thread Hendrik Boom
Funny.  Thus message about Racket paskages arrived immediately after a 
message from the post office ttiled:
Tips for receiving and sending packages
telling me how to register an alternative package destination in case 
I'm no thome.

So when I got this message, titled
Package server registration/reset email code flow changed
my immediate reaction was,
   No! they don't mean that kind of packages.

[racket-users] Re: changing my email address on the package server?

2021-02-18 Thread Tony Garnock-Jones
We should* eventually decouple email from account-identity, so that after 
an *initial* introduction to the system, changing one's email address is 
straightforward to do. But we haven't done that yet and I don't have time 
to do it anytime soon, I'm afraid. So I think Jay's offer of a manual 
database rewrite is the way to go :-)

[racket-users] Package server registration/reset email code flow changed

Hi all,

Just to let you know I updated the package server to have a slightly 
different flow for password resets and account registrations, for spam 
prevention reasons. Please reply here or email me directly at 
to...@leastfixedpoint.com if you have any trouble.

This seems like it would be a nice addition. I think starting with a

I would start with plain Racket to begin with. It's simpler, and you can
switch to Typed Racket
a module at a time at a later date if you find the need.

Just in case you haven't found them already, if you need matrices over real
floating points,
take a look at:
