11:03 mije: is it possible to leave a class method unimplemented (like an abstract method in java) ?
11:14 clklein: mije: I don't think so. The usual approach AFAIK is to make the method's body something like (error 'f "abstract") since there's no type system anyway.
11:15 clklein: But have a look at this library: http://docs.racket-lang.org/unstable/class-iop.html
11:16 mije: the usual approach is ok for me, i'll take a look to the library for my personal culture
11:16 mije: thanks !
11:20 clklein: np
11:43 samth: mije, there can't be abstract methods, since there are no abstract classes
11:43 samth: thus, every method needs to have an implementation
11:43 mije: ok, i get it
11:44 samth: we may add abstract classes (and thus abstract methods) at some point, but they haven't been needed up until now

19:34 rrgmitchell: The Linux Ubuntu Jaunty package fails to install in Unix style mode for me.  Anyone know how to get around this?
19:35 jonrafkind: whats the error
19:35 rrgmitchell: leftovers in source tree: ("README")
19:36 jonrafkind: a couple people have got that error, i guess the solution is to manually move that file and continue the installation
19:36 jonrafkind: eli, are you gonna release a new installer soon?
19:37 jonrafkind: <Accidus> That's why, if I put the process to sleep in the middle, and manually move the README file, the installation succeeds
19:37 rrgmitchell: Well, the installer helpfully cleans up all its files after the error, so there's nothing to continue with!
19:37 jonrafkind: you can try that
19:38 rrgmitchell: What, you mean press ^Z in the middle of the install?  Presumably after the 'unpacking' stage?
19:38 jonrafkind: yea
19:39 jonrafkind: im not sure exactly because i havent done it, but that sounds right
19:39 rrgmitchell: Okay, I'll give that a try.  Thanks!

20:00 eli: jonrafkind: Yes, I still need to do it, didn't get to it yet.
20:00 jonrafkind: ok
20:00 jonrafkind: so far you aren't worse than BP
20:27 eli: jonrafkind: BP?
20:27 jonrafkind: you haven't heard of the massive oil spill in the gulf?
20:28 jonrafkind: spilled oil is to BP as broken ubuntu installers is to eli
20:29 eli: I heard about the spill, but not more than that.
20:29 jonrafkind: BP has been trying for weeks to cap it, but have failed in each attempt
20:29 eli: (And you could fix it too, btw...)
20:29 eli: What is BP?
20:29 jonrafkind: the company that owns the oil platform, british petroleum
20:30 jonrafkind: i thought creating installers was a delicate process
20:30 jonrafkind: i mean its already fixed in git, a new installer just needs to be made and pushed
20:30 eli: Well, it's delicate -- and I'm not going to patch the installation (that would warrant a new release) -- I'll just tweak the installer header.
