6.6 API for Setup

• file — if not #f, installs file as a ".plt" archive.

• collections — if not #f, constrains setup to the named collections, along with planet-specs, if any

• planet-spec — if not #f, constrains setup to the named PLaneT packages, along with collections, if any

• make-user? — if #f, disables any user-specific setup actions

• avoid-main? — if true, avoids setup actions that affect the main installation, as opposed to user directories

• make-docs? — if #f, disables any documentation-specific setup actions

• make-doc-index? — if true, builds documentation index collections in addition to collections, assuming that documentation is built

• force-user-docs? — if true, then when building documentation, creates a user-specific documentation entry point even if it has the same content as the installation

• clean? — if true, enables cleaning mode instead of setup mode

• tidy? — if true, enables global tidying of documentation and metadata indexes even when collections or planet-specs is non-#f

• jobs — if not #f, determines the maximum number of parallel tasks used for setup

• fail-fast? — if true, breaks the current thread as soon as an error is discovered

• get-target-dir — if not #f, treated as a value for current-target-directory-getter

The result is #t if raco setup completes without error, #f otherwise.

Instead of using PLT_COMPILED_FILE_CHECK, setup is sensitive to the use-compiled-file-check parameter.

Changed in version 6.1 of package base: Added the fail-fast? argument. Changed in version 6.1.1: Added the force-user-docs? argument.

6.6.1 raco setup Unit

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 ...])

...)

• setup-option^

• compiler^

• compiler:option^

• launcher^

• dynext:file^

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