That's what I would hope would be needed, but maybe it's impractical. > I can't promise to do snapshot > releases between racket releases though, so it depends a bit on the pace > of development (and whether there are any complications like building > with different options). Precisely. I hope that Chez Scheme will not normally need any bleeding edge features from Zuo. However, I tried building chezscheme with Zuo from racket 8.10+dfsg1-2 and it doesn't work: | bin/zuo ta6le MAKE="make" | checking boot files for ta6le against pb | make-targets: bad specification line: (list ':target 'build (list "pb/bin/pb/scheme" "pb/bin/pb/petite" 'revision) #<procedure:void> ':recur) | in for-each | in make-targets | in build-one | in loop | in module->hash | make: *** [Makefile:10: build] Error 1 There is a changelog entry for Zuo 1.8 that mentions support for :recur and zuo.c in racket 8.10+dfsg1 says it is version 1.6. So this is already not working. :) Version 8.11.1 comes with Zuo 1.7. So the next chezscheme release would need a version of racket that hasn't been released yet. I mean, I could easily package Zuo separately. I could do the first upload and put the Scheme team as maintainer so anyone who needs to can update it. I'm guessing you would still use the copy that comes as part of Racket to build Racket, though. What do you think? -- Sitting in muddy water isn't such as a bad life if it ends after the first time
