Hello,
I was setting up Racket on my linux box and i realized that there are a lot of
options for path configuration and i forgot a lot of what i discovered last
time i dug into this. I was trying to set up installation scope but maybe a
little cleanly and figured someone might have some input.
I want a package at roughly installation scope, but i kinda wanted to know what
was added by me and what was part of the default installation. Is this
reasonable or should i just deal with it and dump stuff in $RACKET/share/pkgs?
If it is reasonable then what is the best way to set this up?
Just FYI I did an in-place install of Racket in "/opt/Racket/Racket\ 8.1"
symlinked to /opt/Racket...
I think maybe what i want is to set to something like
(in /opt/Racket/etc/config.rktd)
#hash(... (pkgs-search-dirs . "/opt/Racket 8.1/share/pkgs-system" #f)
(links-search-files . ("/opt/Racket/share/pkgs-system/links.rktd" #f)) ...)
Then i just did a `sudo /opt/Racket/bin/raco pkg install --scope-dir
/opt/Racket/share/pkgs-system rash`
... and the new package seems to be working fine for my users.
Is that what i wanted or is there something better? Is there a way to configure
config.rktd additions that will persist across upgrades or will i have to
update my config.rktd for every racket release? Do other people do this kind of
thing or just dump stuff in the installation scope? Maybe there are more
options with a unix-style install, i haven't really tried one yet.
Thanks!
Nate
