It sounded on IRC that you're pretty busy, so yeah, I'll probably get there first. :-) Status update: racket2nix is now in a limited useful state! I'm able to build the drracket package without any error conditions occurring along the way, but: - The resulting drracket package is empty. :-D - I'm not actually building the packages, just installing them (raco pkg install --no-setup). - There is a lot of cleaning up to do in the nix expressions, the low-hanging fruit being e.g. redundant dependency listings -- drracket has over 1500 dependencies, but a simple sort -u on them reveals that they are actually only 135. - It probably doesn't put any stuff in .../bin . My next step is dogfooding racket2nix: Put the logic in a library, generate a thin wrapper that calls it, add rackunit tests, make a man page, etc. Hopefully this will teach me enough about packaging that I can go back and work toward a working drracket package. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
