[racket-dev] Package build information

[Jay McCarthy]

http://pkgs.racket-lang.org now integrates the information from
http://pkg-build.racket-lang.org

For package users, the most prominent change is that it is now easy to
read the documentation for packages online.

For package authors, you can use the new information to find out if
there are any problems with your packages:

* Packages without documentation:

http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/#(!:docs:)(!main-distribution)(!main-tests)

* Packages that cannot be installed:

http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/#(:build-fail:)(!main-distribution)(!main-tests)

* Packages that need to specify more dependencies:

http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/#(:build-dep-fail:)(!main-distribution)(!main-tests)

* Packages with no description

http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/#(:no-desc:)(!main-distribution)(!main-tests)

* Packages without tags

http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/#(:no-tag:)(!main-distribution)(!main-tests)

I will be adding a UI element to summarize what you need to do with
your packages.

Jay

This is really cool!


Hmm, it looks like it stopped checking for updated packages yesterday
9/8/2014 around 1:30 PM.

I noticed because I submitted a PR for a package that was shown as
failing[1], but after a few hours it hasn't been picked up and
re-rested yet. Usually it checks for updates about once per hour,
IIRC.

(It's not urgent, and if were my own repo I'd do the manual refresh. I
just wanted to point it out.)
