Thank you. So on http://docs.racket-lang.org/planet2/Developing_Packages.html should it switch the steps around? Folks should not run `raco pkg install --link demo` until _after_ they create an info.rkt in demo?
Because when I try to run `raco pkg install --link` now, it does nothing, telling me: $ raco pkg install --link frog raco pkg install: package is already installed package: frog OK. So I just tried: $ raco pkg remove frog (FYI that gives a huge amount of output, which doesn't say anything about removing `frog`, but a lot about making other stuff. But `raco pkg show` confirms it was removed.) Next I try: $ raco pkg install --link frog And I try: $ raco pkg show <It's installed.> But: $ raco help Does not show my command listed. And $ raco frog raco frog /Users/greg/src/plt/racket/bin/raco: Unrecognized command: frog Usage: raco <command> <option> ... <arg> ... Frequently used commands: docs search and view documentation make compile source to bytecode setup install and build libraries and documentation pkg manage packages link manage library-collection directories planet manage Planet package installations exe create executable test run tests associated with files/directories pack pack files/collections into a .plt archive A command can be specified by an unambiguous prefix. See `raco help' for a complete list of commands. See `raco help <command>' for help on a command. So it's still not working. From my (probably not great) understanding for getinfo.rkt, I'm still not sure how it _could_ work because these linked collections aren't returned by `current-library-collection-paths`. Or quite likely I'm doing something dumb.
