Going back in this thread, I think that changing which files DrRacket
compiles is not the right direction to go to solve the problem discussed
here. The problem is that planet2 is running raco setup in a strange
configuration. Avoiding compiling files will not solve this problem.

On Sat,
I'm not sure why it is a strange configuration, but maybe I missed
that part of the thread.
More generally, why should running the function version of raco
setup behave differently in a DrRacket buffer than it does on the
command line?

It isn't to do with drracket. It is to do with the fact that it is
triggered in a context where, say, the reader doesn't behave the way it
would with the default parameters.
Long story short: there are lots and lots of parameters that affect how
compilation and raco setup generally behave. If
I agree.
More generally, if running a program has the side effect of configuring
DrRacket, then maybe it should not be allowed to run within DrRacket.
That is, maybe DrRacket should install a security guard that prevents
writing to installed collections.

should include only the directories where we know that collections live.
Can those other directories are also potential places where
It may be possible to change drracket to only set that parameter when it is
compiling files, but for now I think you have to disable drracket's auto
compilation (in the language dialog's show details section) to develop
programs like this.

The former.
And maybe there is a problem with drracket sharing too much with the user
program too.

Ok, great. Happily back to using DrRacket. :)
