I'm using Travis CI for some projects that need to `raco pkg install` some required packages. On a few occasions I've had Travis CI mark something "build failed", and the reason was the package install failed (otherwise the build would have succeed). There are two links in the chain: The pkg.racke

Is there a package that represents the current best practice for the new package system (naming, organizing, modules, submodules, files, docs, tests, READMEs, the works)? I know a lot of them were ported forward, and this area is evolving. A really decent example would be nice. -- Anthony Carrico

Something along those lines is what I had in mind, right. A pict box just produces a pict, not something that specially knows about subpicts (more than any other pict would). You can iterate over subpicts, I believe, but what you're doing is probably better than that. Robby On Fri, Sep 20, 2013
