Do you accept prompts from your Operating System (mine: Ubuntu) to update the racket version?
<Don8742>
Or do you update your Racket version at between program development phases, a program developed with racket.

Am I correct in thinking that to resolve some issues that result from installing a new version of Racket, that I should find and remove my compiled directories so that Racket will recompile them with the latest installed version?
<Don8742>
Seems to me that it is best to only install a new racket version when I am not in the middle of developing a project. Do you agree?
<Don8742>
Hello? Why am I not seeing ongoing conversations by others?

Don8742: IRC doesn't persist a log. This is a fairly quiet channel but if you ask questions and lurk you'll usually get a response eventually

Thanks grym!

When I am in the middle of developing a program I don't want to install a new version of the Racket program at that time but occassionaly fall for the Operating System prompt offering to install an update. Then I have to sort out the problem of compiler conflicts. Do you just install updated versions when you want them rather than when prompted?

How often is this a problem for you? For me racket updates are every 3 to 6 months
dbmikus has joined #racket
<Don8742>
I'm guessing that is about the same for me.
<bremner>
OK. I guess I don't have much helpful advice in this scenario. I just live with the updates.
<bremner>
I do have a bit more control because I happen to package Racket for the OS I use, but that's not a solution that generalizes.
<Don8742>
I've just been reading up on Package Management in Racket so I guess that I should just take the offer from the operating system as a notification that a new version of racket is available - then disregard it until I am ready to make the update.
<bremner>
I guess if you installed directly from racket-lang.org, the OS would not prompt you for updates
bocaneri has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<Don8742>
Yes, I was just thinking along those lines too but I usually don't want to update for a couple of years. So it seems I must just remember not to update racket when the O.S. prompts me to.
<Don8742>
After installing an updated version of Racket I experience some issues - probably just compiler conflicts. Should I reinstall the previous version of racket or should I resolve the compiler conflicts? And is the only way to resolve the compiler conflicts this: find all my instances of directories: /compiled and deleting them? This forces racket to
<Don8742>
rebuild the deleted /compiled directories.

FYI IRC users generally consider it a bit rude to be pinged without previous interaction
<Don8742>
Why are people logging into this #racket channel and then doing nothing. What is the point of logging in other than to post a question or comment?
<grym>
or at least very confusing
<grym>
Don8742: welcome to IRC!
<rekahsoft>
Don8742: I join the racket channel by default from emacs. Is this a problem? Apologies, didn't mean to upset you.
<bremner>
Don8742: people check the channel when they have time, and answer if they know something relevant

because IRC doesn't keep backlog without extra software, there is incentive to stay logged in
<Don8742>
Thanks for the feedback on IRC. I just popped out to read more about it. I certainly don't want to offend anyone. Looking back at some of my questions above and the responses that followed, I can see that 1 respondent thought I was being critical of them. I can see that if I add the context - that I a complete newbie to IRC's, and avoid addressing
<Don8742>
people by their handle, I would then come across as mannerly. Maybe as my wife says - maybe I am behaving autisticaly.

Don8742: no worries!

Looks like I will be happier if I start using raco pkg catalog-copy to create a snapshot of a package name and package source.
<Don8742>
Better yet, it looks like I should be using raco pkg catalog-archive ... which takes a snapshot of the catalog and all package sources to not depend on the original sources.

I would sure like to have a conversation with someone about packages. I understand and use them to some extent but I'd like to become much more conversant and comfortable using them. I'm wary of using them more without first getting a better understanding. Can anyone recommend some safe way of working with them?
<Don8742>
How do you resolve compiler conflicts after installing a new version of Racket? The method I have been using is to find all my instances of directories called: /compiled and deleting them? This forces racket to rebuild them when my program attempts to load an associated module.

I have a crazy idea of building a hybrid Python+Racket ecommerce web application
<yurb>
Putting the core business logic into a racket core that would only provide a REST api and speak JSON
<yurb>
And then building all the user-facing HTML-generating shell in Python/Django
<yurb>
And it seems like building it in racket cs is logical
<yurb>
since it will be the default in the near future

yurb: I am running one big project that has Racket as REST backend and React.js frontend (served by Racket's web-server :) ).
<dzoe>
You won't notice the difference between BC and CS when it comes to web development.
<yurb>
dzoe: wow, great to hear that!

I was inspired by both the RacketCon talk and Bogdan Popa's video about his framework
