PLaneT only goes out to the internet if the package the user requires isn't locally available. If you ask for a package that isn't on your local system and you have no internet connection with which to get it, that seems like a perfectly legitimate situation in which to yield an unrecoverable error.</blockquote><div>   I agree that it makes sence to throw the error message, but I seem to get the error message too often.  Would it make sence to write a (planet sync) function/button that just grabs the entire planet archive, and keeps the files in the cache (dosn't install, just keeps the installers)?  (and the planet is not that big :) I wrote a shell script for myself before that pulled all the package names off the web page index, and got a copy, but I'm use there's a way that's easier to use.   Corey</div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">-jacob _________________________________________________   For list-related administrative tasks:   <a href="http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme">http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme</a> </blockquote></div> -- ((lambda (y) (y y)) (lambda (y) (y y)))
