11:46 <alinsoar> Hello

11:48 <alinsoar> I tried to run Pie from "the little typer" directly from the source code and I did not manage to execute the REPL of Pie.  However, I managed to run it using "raco install pie".  In this case, if I modify something in the source code of pie how can I load the modifications ?

11:48 <alinsoar> Is there some direct way to run it from the repository cloned from github ?

18:41 <alinsoar> This channel is dead ?

18:42 <bremner> alinsoar: it's not extremely active, but also not completely dead

18:47 <alinsoar> I downloaded the source code of pie (https://github.com/the-little-typer/pie) and I do not know how to create a package from the source, such that each time I modify the code to reload the modification quickly.

18:47 <alinsoar> Or how to execute the source code and start the REPL

18:48 <alinsoar> Doing "raco install pie" it worked.  But downloading it like that I am not able to modify the source code

18:50 <alinsoar> Could someone help me please ?

18:52 <bremner> if the source is set up as a package, you can run "raco pkg install" from the (modified) source directory

18:57 <alinsoar> ```

18:57 <alinsoar> % nano rep.rkt

18:57 <alinsoar> % raco pkg install

18:57 <alinsoar> Linking current directory as a package

18:57 <alinsoar> raco pkg install: package is already installed

18:57 <alinsoar>   package: pie

18:57 <alinsoar> ```

18:57 <alinsoar> bremner I did modify something and it tells it is already installed and did not updated

18:58 <bremner> ok. maybe uninstall it first? I don't really have much experience.

19:20 <alinsoar> If I uninstall it, it will raise error.  But let me try it now...

19:22 <alinsoar> % raco pkg show

19:24 <alinsoar> bremner it seems it will go again and install from github, ignoring the local directory ./pie from which I execute the `raco pkg install pie` command

19:28 <alinsoar> bremner I suspect the github repo is not organized as a package "raco install" does something more to install it.  How can I detect how it converts the github code into a package ?

19:28 <alinsoar> such that to convert my local copy in a package

20:02 <tonyg> alinsoar: try `raco pkg update --link .` from your local checkout

20:03 <tonyg> alinsoar: it should replace the existing install with the local checkout, without disrupting packages depending on `pie`
