In other words, suggestion conversions in the non-clone direction the
same as conversions in the clone direction. As a way of disambiguation
the right direction, the non-clone direction is only suggested for
sharing that is immediately discovered from the command-line arguments
(as opposed to sharing that becomes apparent as other packages are
updated or installed via dependencies).
Since `begin0` at the bytecode level always evaluates an initial
expression in non-tail position, we don't have to work so hard
to ensure that an extra expression sticks around.
Move begin0 inside begin, for example
(begin0 (begin X Y) Z) ==> (begin X (begin0 Y Z))
Try to replace more begin0 with begin when the first expression is movable
Drop the begin0 when it has only one non omitable expression that preserves
the continuation marks.
Allow a "file://" URL to specify a type that causes the path
to be installed as a link or static link. A type query like
that is mainly intended for use in a catalog, where a catalog
of local directories could create links as needed for other
packages (that might be pulled from other catalogs).
For some reason, I previously made the package manager parse file URLs
by stripping away "file://" and treating the rest directly as a
path. Maybe it was to support relative paths, or maybe it was to
implicitly disallow query and fragment parts of the URL, but it seems
like a terrible idea; I've switched to `string->url` plus `url->path`.
As a result, parsing now implicitly allows and ignores query and
fragment parts of a "file://" URL. That's intended as a feature,
allowing extra information to be attached to a path in, for example,
a catalog.
The source to the split packages is in repositories under the
`racket` organization on GitHub. The repositories are all named
according to the pkg name, except for multiple-package
repositories such as `racket/compiler` which is named based on the
old directory name without the `-pkgs` suffix. Thus
`pkgs/compiler-pkgs` -> https://github.com/racket/compiler
The Makefile has also been adjusted to pull packages from the
catalog when you type `make`. This currently relies on some tricks
that will break if you try to specify a particular set of `PKGS` on
the command line. We plan to improve this soon.
The packages in `pkgs/racket-pkgs` and `pkgs/base` are staying in
the repository, since they logically belong with the core code.
The `plt-services` package is still in the repository, but will
move out soon.
