Hello! Yes, I agree packaging modules is probably a good idea. But panda is not dependent on Rakudo-Star - when building from rakudobrew you first build the backend (eg. moarvm) and the rakudo Perl6 implementation; then you buld panda and as the last step you use panda to install Task::Star. That said, I know there has been some problems building Linenoise from time to time if you don't find matching versions. >Should we: >- bundle them with rakudo ? (how ?) No, I don't think so. >- create a perl6-core-modules package that bundle them ? > see https://github.com/tadzik/Task-Star/ for the list >- package them individually ? (dependency hell is possible) A combination maybe? Individual packages and a rakudo-star meta package that depends on versions known to work together. >Thoughts ? Yes, those were my thoughts. Feel free to adopt or disregard them at your discretion. ;) Cheers, -- Jonas Linde <jo...@init.se> - http://jonas.init.se/ - +46-707-492496
