Will we have to reinvent > rakudo-build-system? That's a good question. With the work that was done with the other patchset to adjust some of the perl6 packages to become raku packages I don't believe any changes were needed to the rakudo-build-system other than adjusting the check phase. I'm glad that there weren't any problems with it, but I haven't looked at either the language or the build system in more than 4 years. I'd rather yank it out than dive in and make sure it works correctly, so we're not leaving broken bits around if someone later wanted to use it, but I don't know if they'd prefer a build system that probably mostly works or to know that rakudo is packaged and they're on their own for actual packages. -- Efraim Flashner רנשלפ םירפא GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
