[racket-users] Re: Racket Package Catalog Site and Raco Commands
While I have no strong preferences for whether it would be better to allow end-users determine what tags to apply as opposed to automatic system tags, it might be more effective to make provisions for special tags to be supported in info.rkt and have the catalog automatically read those tags if they are present. Developers and maintainers are already in a good position to furnish well chosen tags prior to uploading to pkgs.racket-lang.org.

[racket-users] Re: Racket Package Catalog Site and Raco Commands
All of your suggestions are great and get my vote. To elaborate on the raco tag, it should list all the commands *and* subcommands. Example: pkg package tag: raco: pkg install, pkg update, pkg remove, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

[racket-users] Re: Racket Package Catalog Site and Raco Commands
A `raco` tag for all packages that add raco commands is a great idea. I don't think we should build some sort of system tag that's automatically added though; I'd much rather have some way of granting "tagging rights" to a set of catalog users and let them figure out what tags are appropriate for the variety of packages we have today. Not all sensible tags will have automatic means of detection. Here's a sample list of tags I'd like to have used consistently across the catalog: - raco: provides a raco command - testing: provides something useful for testing code - data: provides a data structure of some sort - graphics: provides something related to drawing, images, or GUIs - lang: provides a #lang language - reader: provides something that modifies the racket reader, such as adding reader syntax for shorter anonymous functions - sugar: provides a simple shortcut that's generally useful and not specific to a particular library - documenting: provides something useful for documenting code - syntax: provides something useful for macros and other syntax object manipulations - concurrency: provides something useful for concurrent programming - network: provides something useful for making network calls and implementing various protocols - storage: provides something useful for persistent storage of values, such as database clients Dear package catalog maintainers: I volunteer to scour the catalog and tag everything under the sun. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
