Although `raco pkg` doesn't use a package's ring number, it's useful
to preserve for other tools (like the pkg-build service). Adjust `raco
pkg catalog-copy` and `raco pkg catalog-info` to recognize and store a
ring number.
Using the GitHub API for GitHub sources can run afoul of API
limits. Since we now support the Git protocol generall, use
that for GitHub sources, too.
Set the `PLT_USE_GITHUB_API` environment variable to use the
GitHub API, instead.
An empty string provided to `raco pkg config --set catalogs` would
trigger an error previously. Instead, turn it into a `#f` in the
configuration file, which is replaced by the default search sequence.
The implemented default for `raco pkg update` actually depended on the
way that a package is installed, and it's difficult to reason about or
to implement the default that is suggested by the documentation.
Meanwhile, `search-ask` seems the most sensible always in interactive
mode (now that we have a way to specify batch mode).
* `raco pkg show typed-racket` now shows just the "typed-racket" pkg.
* `raco pkg show --rx typed-racket` shows all packages that match the
regular expression "typed-racket".
* `raco pkg show` now only shows the first 8 characters of checksums
unless you provide the `--full-checksum` argument.
Packages that are installed as other than a link are not meant to be
edited, but work can get lost if a package is edited and then removed
or updated. Avoid that work loss by moving removed or updated packages
to a trash folder.
By default, the trash folder holds up to 512 packages for up to 48
hours. To disable the trash folder (for a given scope), use
raco pkg config --set max-trash-packages 0
(I expect that some variant of Greenspun's rule predicted the eventual
inclusion of "backup" management in the package system.)
