# If this section seems like a mess, it is, because reasons:
#
# - The download URL naming conventions have changed over the years.
#
# - The Linux version name has changed over the years.
#
# - From time to time a Racket download server has gone offline, in
# which case this file has been "hot fixed". In the absence of any
# clear resolution signal ("you can resume using the original
# server"), the hot fix remains in place (until maybe someday it
# needs to be hot fixed).
#
# On the one hand, it sucks. On the other hand, a large part of the
# "added value" of this repo that it deals with the suckage so that
# ordinary users need not. They can supply names for Racket versions
# and variants using a consistent naming scheme, and we'll try to make
# it work.
