Call for testing: racket snap

I’ve prepared and published the racket snap, which contains the compiler and IDE for Racket https://racket-lang.org/

Initially I’ve only build the version for x86_64 (aka amd64). That snap is available in the stable channel. I’ve since made a build for aarch64 (aka arm64) which is only available in edge.

I would like to ask anyone with a Raspberry Pi running 64-bit Ubuntu or any other 64bit arm system to give racket a try and see if it works. I’m especially curious if the racket.dracket IDE works correctly.

The source code for the snap packaging is at https://gitlab.com/zygoon/racket-snap. Feel free to report issues there or in the forum.

Hello, in the meantime Racket has reached version 8.8. It would be nice to have also an updated snap. I have tried the flatpak that is already updated to the latest version, but it works badly.

Regards

Thank you for letting me know. I will build an update today

I’ve made it a little better. Refresh again to get functional bash completion for racket and racket.raco (including the raco alias).

The builds with this feature are now published.
