compression so that it gets a Content-Length field that
it can use back from the server
this may or may not be the right long-term fix but
for now it at least gets things working again
When adding a package installation-wide, drop redundant "COPYING.txt"
and "COPYING_LESSER.txt" files (i.e., ones that are the same as the
ones the "share" directory of a Racket installation).
This rule is ad hoc, but it avoids almost 150 copies of the file in
the main distribution.
Arrange for documentation added through an installation-wide package to
use the installation's "scribble.css", etc., files. Also, add "doc-site.css"
and "doc-site.js" files (both empty) to allow installation-specific customization
that will not get overwritten by document installs or builds.
The `--all-platforms` flag causes the package manager to follow all
package dependencies, even for dependencies that are specific to
platforms other than the current one.
The `--checksum` argument's main use is that it lets you pick a specific
commit from a GitHub repository. More generally, it lets you simulate
a package-catalog result, which includes a checksum.
Also, adjust checking of downloaded checksums to ensure that they
match the expected checksum, as predicted by a package catalog or
by the `--checksum` argument.
Various `net/url` operations need to request a close of the
connection after the operation completes, and `het/http-client`
needs to actually close the input-port half of a connection.
Also, add `http-conn-abandon!`.
Also also, add limits on internal pipes, so that data doesn't pile
up in a connection-processing thread, and fix POST/PUT by adding
a needed CRLF after posted data.
I'm not sure that #:defaults and #:fast-defaults predicates should ever refer to
methods from the same generic interface, but the behavior should be divergence
rather than an undefined variable error.
Also, move remaining "srfi" libraries to "srfi-lite-lib".
In principle, "base" should depend on "scheme-lib" and
"srfi-lite-lib", and a new "base2" package would represent the new,
smaller base. But I don't think the window has yet closed on
determining the initial "base" package.
The "srfi" libraries moved to "srfi-lite-lib", instead of "srfi-lib",
to avoid creating many extra dependencies on "srfi-lib" and all of its
dependencies. The SRFIs in "srfi-lite-lib" depend only on "base",
and they are used relatively widely.
