I hope that there's a better way, however what I ended up doing was this: 1) Install a "Minimal Racket" from http://download.racket-lang.org/releases/6.8/ (scroll down a bit to see these versions).
2) cd path/to/my-clone-of-plot/; raco pkg install 3) raco pkg install main-distribution If you want to later replace an existing package with your local copy, you can then do: 2b) raco pkg remove --force the-package ### you can stop it with Ctrl+C after a couple of lines of output 2c) cd path/to/my-clone-of-other-package/; raco pkg install When updating (e.g. after installing the upcoming 6.9), install a new "minimal racket 6.9", then run: 4) raco setup --clean ### fails on my machine because it tries to remove read-only files in the "minimal racket" installation directory. I run it a couple of times just to be sure, and ignore the failures. 5) raco setup -j 1 6) raco setup -j 1 --avoid-main 7) raco setup -j 1 --doc-index I use -j 1 in the commands above to avoid Out-Of-Memory errors on systems without "much" RAM, as parallel builds use more RAM, and a few of my packages stress Typed/Racket at compile-time, which in turn uses lots of memory. Hopefully someone will drop by and suggest better alternatives to my suggestions of using Ctrl+C and ignoring errors :) . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
