I made my own Package Catalog for publishing pre-release versions of packages. Also useful if you are too shy to add your package to the official catalog.

Did you use any kind of automation to generate these files (the ones under `catalog/`) or did you do them by hand?

I have used [manage-catalog.rkt](https://github.com/samdphillips/package-catalog/blob/main/manage-catalog.rkt). It requires [`raco-run`](https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/raco-run) and [`threading`](https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/threading) to be installed.

```scheme
Add Packages
./manage-catalog.rkt add-packages pkg-name1 url1 pkg-name2 url2 ...

Refresh Package Hashes
./manage-catalog.rkt refresh-packages catalog/pkg/*

Rebuild catalog/pkgs and catalog/pkgs-all
./manage-catalog.rkt build-catalog

```
