PLaneT: Automatic Package Distribution

PLaneT is PLT Scheme’s centralized package repository. It consists of two parts: , which contains packages contributed by users, and the PLaneT client, which is built in to PLT Scheme.

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 PLT Scheme, which transparently interacts with the server on your behalf when necessary.
