I have been thinking about how developers who build their own Racket are more likely to want installation-wide packages instead of user- and version-specific packages. This is particularly true for those of us who work from the git respository.
Maybe the default for a build `configure'd without `--prefix' (or, more generally, for a non-Unix-style build) should be installation-wide package installs, while the default for our pre-built distributions should be user- and version-specific installs. The default mode would be determined by configuration information in the installation-specific package area, and something like `raco pkg config -i default-mode <mode>' could change an installation's default. Does this sound like a good idea? _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
