Re: [racket-users] Racket 5, multiple-collection packages and info.rkt
Right, that's a good option. For the moment, it wouldn't even need a branch, just point at the current version of the package while the 6.x-compatible version moves on. It's a mature package, and if people need any new functionality that gets implemented later, they should be prepared to upgrade Racket. If there emerges a pressing need for upgrading the 5.x-compatible version, say for some security update, that could be handled at that time. They aren't that many versions.

Re: [racket-users] Racket 5, multiple-collection packages and info.rkt
Another option - make a branch for the Racket 5 code - add version exceptions [1] to pkgs.racket-lang.org - split the repo on the master branch The downside to this plan is that someone needs to add a version exception for every 5.x version of Racket that `graph` wants to support.

Re: [racket-users] Racket 5, multiple-collection packages and info.rkt
Hi Claes, Thanks for the effort in splitting the package. Would any users of the graph library object to dropping support for 5.x?

[racket-users] Racket 5, multiple-collection packages and info.rkt
I am trying to split the package graph into graph-doc and graph-lib, see: https://github.com/stchang/graph/pull/37 So far, the package has been compatible with Racket 5.3.2, and I image the original author Mr. Chang would like to keep it that way, if possible. In their respective graph/info.rkt (until now a single file, now split into two files), graph-lib wants to define test-timeouts and graph-doc wants to define scribblings. On Racket 6 this is fine, but on Racket 5[0] I get: raco pkg install: packages conflict package: ./graph-lib package: graph-doc file: graph/info.rkt If I remove graph-doc/graph/info.rkt, the documentation does not get built. Do we have to drop Racket 5 compatibility to split this package in two? [0] not on Racket 5.92, but I guess that would be more appropriately named something like 6.0rc or 6.0pre? - - - - I looked in Racket 5.93 and there pkgs/net-pkgs/net-doc/net didn't have an info.rkt. How did the documentation get built? Is there some special workaround for release packages? On Racket 5.3.6 and earlier the release packages weren't separate packages, they were simply in core collects, and I assume there was no racket-minimal? So I have nothing to learn from by looking there. -- /c -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
