Although "macOS" is the correct name for Apple's current desktop OS,
we've decided to go with "Mac OS" to cover all of Apple's Unix-like
desktop OS versions. The label "Mac OS" is more readable, clear in
context (i.e., unlikely to be confused with the Mac OSes that
proceeded Mac OS X), and as likely to match Apple's future OS names
as anything.
Along with the `PLT_COMPILED_FILE_CHECK` environment variable, allows
the timestamp check to be disabled when deciding whether to use a
compiled bytecode file.
In accomodating this change, `raco make` and `raco setup` in all modes
check whether the SHA1 hash of a module source matches the one
recorded in its ".dep" file, even if the timestamp on the bytecode
file is newer. (If the compile-file check mode is 'exists, the
timestamp is completely ignored.)
restricted through `get-info`, which prunes the environment
variable set before it loads the "info.rkt" file. All
environment variables are pruned except those listed in
`PLT_INFO_ALLOW_VARS` (separated by semicolons).
Related to emina/rosette#17.
Add a hook to `raco setup` to make copies of installed executables,
where the copies start with the configuration or addon directory
of creation time, instead of the default installation or user-specific
path.
Although the same effect can be achived by setting environment
variables such as PLTADDONDIR, tethered executables can be easier
to work with and compose better with other programs.
See also #1206 for some discussion, although this change does
not exactly address the original idea there.
When custom categories are used in older versions, raco setup will
report a warning, but the documentation will still appear under the
Miscellaneous section. Thus, this is a backwards compatible
implementation of the idea.
Adjust installation tools to support cross-installation (i.e.,
installation for a platform other than the current one) as triggered
by "system.rktd" in "lib" having different information than the
running Racket executable.
A `module-suffixes` entry in a collection's "info.rkt" adds a
file suffix that is meant to be recognized globally (i.e., in
all collections) by all Racket tools.
The new fields are reported by `compiler/module-suffix` library, which
is (so far) used by `raco setup`.
Note that if package A includes files with a suffix that is registered
by package B, then A should have a dependency on B, but `raco setup`
cannot currently detect that such a dependency is needed. That
dependency is likely to happen, anyway, since package A is likely
using libraries form package B.
If "sqlite3.dll" is installed as a foreign library but shouldn't
be, then `raco setup` cannot simply deleet the file, because
starting `raco setup` opened the DLL. To avoid that problem,
rename the file to start with "raco-setup-delete-", then attempt to
delete the renamed file; the delete won't work, but the file
will be moved out of the way, and a future `raco setup` can
clean up.
The prefix "raco-setup-delete-" thus becomes special on Windows for
the directories that hold foreign libraries, shared files, and
man pages, because `raco setup` will try to delete any file
that starts with "raco-setup-delete-".
It's all very ugly, but I don't have a better idea for the
problems that I keep hitting.
Restore (but in a hopefully better way) a step that installs native
libraries before trying a full `raco setup`, since the libraries
may be needed for the setup proces --- especially on Windows.
