PLaneT: Automatic Package Distribution

This page is for legacy support of PLaneT, Racket’s deprecated, old package system. All new work should use the new Racket package system instead.

The PLaneT system is a method for automatically sharing code packages, both as libraries and as full applications, that gives every user of a PLaneT client the illusion of having a local copy of every code package on the server. It consists of the central PLaneT package repository, a server that holds all PLaneT packages, and the PLaneT client, built into Racket, which transparently interacts with the server on your behalf when necessary.
