>Description:
The current version of racket available via `pkgin racket` is very out of date; 6.12

The current version of Racket is 8.7, with 8.8 on schedule for release in feb 2023

https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/pkgsrc/lang/racket/README.html

I’ve marked it as not recommended on the Racket installation guidance page: https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Installing-Racket


Package should be updated to latest release from https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/8.7/

Suggested: https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/8.7/installers/racket-8.7-src-builtpkgs.tgz 

Best regards
