Most of the pieces are around (such as the `local-catalog` makefile target), and it's a matter of tedious makefile hacking to put them together.

Use `raco pkg install` pulls packages from the network, instead of from a clone of the Racket repository, but we expect to split the Racket repository up in the future, anyway (maybe sometime next year). Then, we expect that pulling packages from the network will be the normal way to do things. _ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
