6.3 API for Installation

The setup/setup-unit library provides raco setup in unit form. The associated setup/option-sig and setup/option-unit libraries provides the interface for setting options for the run of raco setup.

For example, to unpack a single ".plt" archive "x.plt", set the archives parameter to (list "x.plt") and leave specific-collections as null.

Link the options and setup units so that your option-setting code is initialized between them, e.g.:

(compound-unit

...

(link ...

[(OPTIONS : setup-option^) setup:option@]

[() my-init-options@ OPTIONS]

[() setup@ OPTIONS ...])

...)

6.3.1 raco setup Unit

(require setup/setup-unit)

• setup-option^

• compiler^

• compiler:option^

• launcher^

and exports nothing. Invoking setup@ starts the setup process.

6.3.2 Options Unit

(require setup/option-unit)

(avoid-main-installation) → boolean?

(avoid-main-installation on?) → void?

on? : any/c

If on, avoid building bytecode in the main installation tree when building other bytecode (e.g., in a user-specific collection). The default is #f.

(call-install) → boolean?

(call-install on?) → void?

on? : any/c

If on, call collection "info.rkt"-specified setup code. The default is #t.

(force-unpack) → boolean?

If on, ignore version and already-installed errors when unpacking a ".plt" archive. The default is #f.

(pause-on-errors) → boolean?

(pause-on-errors on?) → void?

on? : any/c

If on, in the event of an error, prints a summary error and waits for stdin input before terminating. The default is #f.

(specific-collections) → (listof path-string?)

(specific-collections coll) → void?

coll : (listof path-string?)

A list of collections to set up; the empty list means set-up all collections if the archives list is also empty The default is null.

(archives) → (listof path-string?)

(archives arch) → void?

arch : (listof path-string?)

A list of ".plt" archives to unpack; any collections specified by the archives are set-up in addition to the collections listed in specific-collections. The default is null.

(archive-implies-reindex) → boolean?

(archive-implies-reindex on?) → void?

on? : any/c

If on, when archives has a non-empty list of packages, if any documentation is built, then suitable documentation start pages, search pages, and master index pages are re-built. The default is #t.

(current-target-directory-getter) → (-> . path-string?)

(current-target-directory-getter thunk) → void?

thunk : (-> . path-string?)

A thunk that returns the target directory for unpacking a relative ".plt" archive; when unpacking an archive, either this or the procedure in current-target-plt-directory-getter will be called. The default is current-directory.

(current-target-plt-directory-getter)

→   (path-string?  path-string?  (listof path-string?) . -> . path-string?)

(current-target-plt-directory-getter proc) → void?

proc   :   (path-string?  path-string?  (listof path-string?) . -> . path-string?)

A procedure that takes a preferred path, a path to the parent of the main "collects" directory, and a list of path choices; it returns a path for a "plt-relative" install; when unpacking an archive, either this or the procedure in current-target-directory-getter will be called, and in the former case, this procedure may be called multiple times. The default is (lambda (preferred main-parent-dir choices) preferred).
