Unmask packages in gentoo-racket-overlay and a recent version of Racket (at least 8.1):

mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
echo '*/*::gentoo-racket-overlay' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/gentoo-racket-overlay.conf
echo '>=dev-scheme/racket-8.1::gentoo' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/gentoo-racket-overlay.conf

Check out a example gentoo-racket-overlay.conf.

Emerge Racket

Emerge dev-scheme/racket with USE="-minimal":

mkdir -p /etc/portage/package.use
echo 'dev-scheme/racket -minimal' >> /etc/portage/package.use/racket.conf
emerge -av dev-scheme/racket

Check out a example racket.conf.

Updating Racket

To update dev-scheme/racket and packages that depend on it update the @world set:

emerge -Dauv --jobs=1 --with-bdeps=y @world
