Bug#402589: O: drscheme -- PLT Scheme Programming Environment
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the drscheme package. I have neither the time nor the
expertise to properly maintain this package or fix the outstanding bugs
related to the software itself. I've fixed all outstanding RC bugs,
so the package is in a somewhat usable state at the moment.
I will make a best effort to fix any new RC bugs that pop up until
someone adopts this package, but I can't guarantee anything.
The package description is:
This is a Scheme Programming Environment, designed for use within
an educational setting. The faculty and staff at Rice University
developed this package to be used in programming curricula, as a
supplement to mathematics courses, or for general programming
instruction in a liberal arts setting.
.
It includes its own IDE (which runs under X) and is similar in
some respects to Emacs (most noticeably in its keybindings).
.
It has an integrated help system and can run one of four
modes (beginning, intermediate, advanced, complete). Each
level exposes successively more features and options to the
user. The goal of this configuration is to protect novice users
from the more arcane behavior of Scheme under certain cases.
