it depends what you want; if you want reloading of Racket code then it's non-trivial (but see that project which does most of the work), if you want what you usually get in other systems, where you have a separate template that's not Racket code then it would be eaiser
<winny>
leah2: you could try a racket-minimal installation. Some distros ship it. you might end up pulling in docs when installing packages... but worth a shot
<leah2>
well there used to be a --disable-docs flag but i think nothing uses it
<winny>
some packages are split out into multiple ones such as -lib -doc -tests. if you see packages that are -lib, those usually omit docs
<winny>
I think there's another technique to avoid docs when installing packages, something about build deps or --no-docs, but i honestly don't understand it
<winny>
if you run into a roadblock, please feel empowered to open a ticket with the package maintainer, they probably aren't aware users wish to use the package on a small footprint
<leah2>
but winny i'm the package maintainer ;)
<winny>
dang, that's a tough one :p
<bremner>
write yourself an angry email :)
<leah2>
ah, but maybe i found the reason why it doesnt work

leah2: you can certainly install the minimal 8.5, and you can then install packages using `raco pkg install -D` and that won't build any docs
<leah2>
how do i install a minimal? i just run "make install" and it builds redex-doc etc
<leah2>
is that a different tarball?
<winny>
might have to reach out later about the raco pkg install -D thing. haven't figured that out on my own packages yet :s

leah2: did you take a look at the slack thread linked there?
ec_ is now known as ec
<samth>
leah2: i think the answer is you have to have the fonts now because of gtk/pango changes
<leah2>
yeah, checking right now if this fixes it
<leah2>
unfortunately raco setup is dog slow :<
<leah2>
i dont see errors so far tho
<samth>
raco setup isn't really at fault; it's just running the relevant racket code
<leah2>
yay past me for figuring this out already :p
<leah2>
single threaded it seems :p
<samth>
leah2: raco setup is not single-threaded if that's what you mean
<leah2>
yeah but it's not cpu bound somehow

if you mean that it isn't always lighting up all your cpus that's certainly true, usually because traversing the module graph doesn't provide enough parallelism
