Summary: Rename Request: racket - A Scheme-based programming language and environment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652083 Summary: Rename Request: racket - A Scheme-based programming language and environment Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Spec URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/funpl/racket.spec SRPM URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/funpl/racket-5.0.2-1.fc14.src.rpm Description: Racket, previously PLT Scheme, is an extensible, Scheme-based language with an interactive mode that encourages experimentation, allowing the composition of larger systems from small building blocks. It features native-code JIT compilation and optional static typing. This is a rename request; PLT Scheme was renamed to Racket as of version 5. Notes: - the previous package uses unversioned Provides: and Obsoletes:, which is problematic when it comes to upgrade paths. The racket package has versioned Provides: and Obsoletes: only for plt-scheme, as: a) a versioned obsolete won't trump an unversioned provides b) the names that plt-scheme obsoletes have not been in use for quite a few releases; therefore the upgrade path is not supported anymore - PLT Scheme, and now Racket, has always bundled several internal libraries. The previous maintainer omitted getting this cleared by FESCO. See the Provides: bundled(...) lines in the spec file. I'll be requesting an exemption from FESCO; either they grant permission, or we'd have to retire plt-scheme without any replacement. Upstream developers (Sam TH, Eli Barzilay & co.) are quite adamant that ripping out the libraries they bundled is not advisable. In case of the latter, racket will be published on my personal repository. This packaging installs a MIME type for Racket's new recommended file extension (.rkt) and set up the DrRacket desktop file to declare that the application can open text/x-racketsrc (Racket) and text/x-scheme (Scheme) files. Note: rpmlint on the generated binaries will create a ton of errors and warnings. Most of them are of these forms and are false positives: - unexpanded-macros: this is due to a lot of SRFI files (Scheme Request for Implementation; i.e. libraries) having '%' as their first characters - wrong-script-interpreter: this is because Scheme uses #! to specify language standard, not to specify an interpreter. e.g. #!r6rs - non-executable-script: likewise. - -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
