I’ve been testing the release version of racket for a few weeks now, and I notice a strange difference between using the “raco” binary that’s part of the distribution and using a symlink to that binary. Specifically, calling raco setup always requires an explicit ‘-l’ when I use the symlink. When I provide the path to raco explicitly, it works fine without the -l. Attached see a transcript that shows the problem. I just want to make sure that … this is expected behavior?
