The checksum doesn't go in an "info.rkt" file, but in a "download.tar.gz.CHECKSUM" file. More info is here: https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/Package_Concepts.html#%28part._concept~3asource%29 Hope that helps, Matthew At Thu, 1 Jul 2021 13:14:36 -0700 (PDT), "je...@lisp.sh" wrote: > I'm not

I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is a bug or whether I'm using the package system incorrectly, but here goes: I just submitted a package to the package server whose source is a simple URL. It's not a Git repo accessible via HTTPS; it's a Fossil repo, with a server running that serves up a plain
