Even though Whalesong isn't on the checklist any more, here's a report on its status: I just tried installing Whalesong from Planet, and it doesn't seem to work. I get a lot of errors of the following form: raco setup: ....0.900/add-on/planet/release-snapshot/cache/dyoo/whalesong.plt/1/21/parser/parse-bytecode-5.3.rkt:372:20: match: wrong number for fields for structure mod: expected 16 but got 15 raco setup: at: (name srcname self-modidx prefix provides requires body syntax-body unexported max-let-depth dummy lang-info internal-context pre-submodules post-submodules) raco setup: in: (struct mod (name srcname self-modidx prefix provides requires body syntax-body unexported max-let-depth dummy lang-info internal-context pre-submodules post-submodules)) and then: ; copy-file: cannot open source file ; source path: /home/samth/tmp/racket-5.91.0.900/collects/launcher/sh ; destination path: /home/samth/tmp/racket-5.91.0.900/share/pkgs/math-test/math/tests/stress/whalesong ; system error: No such file or directory; errno=2 ; context...: ; /home/samth/tmp/racket-5.91.0.900/add-on/planet/release-snapshot/cache/dyoo/whalesong.plt/1/21/make-launcher.rkt:303:0: make-unix-launcher ; /home/samth/tmp/racket-5.91.0.900/add-on/planet/release-snapshot/cache/dyoo/whalesong.plt/1/21/make-launcher.rkt: [running body] Also, whalesong is not currently installable with the pkg system, because it doesn't have an info.rkt file saying that it's a multi-collection package. I've just submitted a pull request to fix this. When I try to install my fork via `raco pkg install`, it works. I think the fix for this is (a) to merge my pull request, (b) to update the Whalesong web page to suggest 'raco pkg install git://github.com:dyoo/whalesong' as the installation method, (c) update the version on Planet, (d) add Whalesong to pkg.racket-lang.org. Of these, only (a) is really crucial to do before the release. Danny, can you do that, or add someone who can minimally maintain whalesong as a collaborator on GitHub -- Joe might be the best person here.
