Just installed Racket 7.6 through Homebrew. Completely clean with no errors. Thank you for helping us out! On Wednesday, December 11, 2019 at 5:00:42 PM UTC+1, Matthew Flatt wrote: > > At the moment, we don't have plans to rebuild v7.5, so the change would > kick in with v7.6. > > The

At the moment, we don't have plans to rebuild v7.5, so the change would kick in with v7.6. The snapshot builds use HFS+ --- but they did, anyway, since they're created with an older version of Mac OS. At Wed, 11 Dec 2019 10:45:08 -0500, David Storrs wrote: > Thanks, Matthew, > > The version on

Thanks, Matthew, The version on the downloads page seems to still be APFS. Will it rebuild at some point? On Tue, Dec 10, 2019 at 8:46 PM Matthew Flatt wrote: > I’ve changed the distribution build to use HFS+ going forward. > > > On Dec 10, 2019, at 6:28 PM, James Platt wrote: > > > > > >>

Hi, If it isn't too much trouble, I at least would really appreciate this. One reason I think this is important is because Homebrew has a cask for Racket, which uses the .dmg distribution. It sets up $PATH (and probably other things I don't know about as well), and can update Racket for you,

Well, actually, I would try just running the binaries, first; it may well be that 10.11 doesn’t require the manual deletion of the quarantine flags. You can also try using a right-click and choosing “open” from the menu; this clears the quarantine flag in many cases. If it does turn out to be

This is 100% workaround rather than a fix, but have you considered using the minimal racket tarball: https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.5/installers/racket-minimal-7.5-x86_64-macosx.tgz …and then manually blessing the binaries using xattr and then installing the rest of the system

When I download and install the .dmg file from racket-lang, I'm told "no mountable filesystems". I'm not sure if this is an issue with how it was built, with my machine, or with OSX in general. This may not be worth worrying about, since OSX 10.11 was released September 30, 2015 and Apple has
