Thank you for following up.

Correct, it has no effect. From subdir above frog:

$ raco setup frog
raco setup frog
raco setup: version: 5.3.3.8 [3m]
raco setup: variants: 3m
raco setup: main collects: /Users/greg/src/plt/racket/collects
raco setup: collects paths:
raco setup:   /Users/greg/Library/Racket/5.3.3.8/collects
raco setup:   /Users/greg/src/plt/racket/collects
raco setup: --- pre-installing collections ---
raco setup: --- compiling collections ---
raco setup: making: racket
raco setup: --- parallel build using 8 processes ---
raco setup: 7 making: /Users/greg/src/scheme/collects/frog/frog
raco setup: --- updating info-domain tables ---
raco setup: --- creating launchers ---
raco setup: --- building documentation ---
raco setup: --- installing collections ---
raco setup: --- post-installing collections ---

raco frog
