Could not find MANIFEST for package source about pollen-users HOT 7 CLOSED

As I understand, the fix is to register pollen on pkgs.racket-lang.org with the git+https protocol. E.g., git+https://git.sr.ht/~mbutterick/pollen

from pollen-users.

Thanks. I didn”t know the git+https notation. I’ve updated the package.

I was having the same issue. It's now working after the fix. Thanks.

I now get

$ raco pkg install pollen
Resolving "pollen" via https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.9/catalog/
Resolving "pollen" via https://pkgs.racket-lang.org
raco pkg install: no such directory
  path: git+https://git.sr.ht/~mbutterick/pollen/

Solved it differently now by cloning the source code and installing with the local copy: raco pkg install --link pollen. All dependencies were installed without problems.

@sorawee Where does this git+https fix come from?

from pollen-users.

OK, I see that support for git+https was added to Racket in March 2021 (racket/racket@2606ae3) for compatibility with Sourcehut, among others.

But this only fixes raco pkg ··· for versions of Racket released after March 2021 — I’ll assume v8.1 and thereafter. Pollen, however, supports Racket v6.3+. Therefore I have to conclude that Pollen is not compatible with Sourcehut (see #131)

I just switched the package-server link back to GitHub. There is a note on the package-server admin page confirming that git+http is only available for Racket 8.1+.
