Thanks to whoever wrote Racket's nixpkgs derivation. I have found that nix is a great development tool. With nix-shell:
* You set declare an environment, commit it to your repo, and all devs are on the same page. * When dealing with ISSUEs you can easily switch between racket versions. * You can have different environments for different projects. * You have get unified (vs. ghetto) package management for polyglot projects. And aren't they all? To these ends I've been patching the existing derivation. I'm new to nix-lang, so I'd like to have someone check my style. So far: * I've added a parameter for the Racket version. * I've added a parameter for extraLibs (dynamically linked libraries). Repo: https://github.com/acarrico/nixpkgs/tree/racket-gl Diff from master: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/compare/master...acarrico:racket-gl Ultimately, a bigger task, for true cross language integration, the ghetto racket packages should be imported into Nix as cabal2nix now integrates Haskell with Nix. -- Anthony Carrico -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
