The repository contains the commit history for
-
Racket's switch from a C-implemented expander and module system to a Racket-implemented expander and module system; and
-
the initial implementation of Racket to run on Chez Scheme.
The changes have been merged (as a single commit) to the main Racket repository, and this repository is no longer modified.
This is the source code for the core of Racket. See "INSTALL.txt" for full information on building Racket.
To build the full Racket distribution from this repository, run make
in the top-level directory. To build minimal Racket, run make base.
The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.
