Racket

Much like Python, Racket packages and modules have their own special build system.
To learn more about the specifics of Racket package system, please refer to the
`Racket Docs <https://docs.racket-lang.org/pkg/cmdline.html>`_.
^^^^^^
Phases
^^^^^^
The ``RacketBuilder`` and ``RacketPackage`` base classes provides an ``install`` phase that
can be overridden, corresponding to the use of:
.. code-block:: console
$ raco pkg install
^^^^^^^
Caveats
^^^^^^^
In principle, ``raco`` supports a second, ``setup`` phase; however, we have not
implemented this separately, as in normal circumstances, ``install`` also handles
running ``setup`` automatically.
Unlike Python, Racket currently on supports two installation scopes for packages, user
or system, and keeps a registry of installed packages at each scope in its configuration files.
This means we can't simply compose a "``RACKET_PATH``" environment variable listing all of the
places packages are installed, and update this at will.
Unfortunately this means that all currently installed packages which extend Racket via ``raco pkg install``
are accessible whenever Racket is accessible.
Additionally, because Spack does not implement uninstall hooks, uninstalling a Spack ``rkt-`` package
will have no effect on the ``raco`` installed packages visible to your Racket installation.
Instead, you must manually run ``raco pkg remove`` to keep the two package managers in a mutually
consistent state.
