Maybe yes, since rakudo-star might switch backends again, and the projects seem to be somewhat independent. > We'd still need to: > - remove libtomath > - remove minified js files > - ship arch dependant stuff in separate binary packages > > We'd then drop rakudo, nqp, moar source package and keep only rakudo-star. That would make packaging easier. Alternatives would be: - keep moarvm and nqp source + binary packages as they are, only switch rakudo source+binary to rakudo-star (i.e. rakudo plus panda, core modules, ignore moarvm and nqp in the tarball); that's probably closest to the original question of how to get the additional stuff easily; - or leave moarvm and nqp and rakudo as they are now, and only take the additional things from the rakudo-star tarball; which means "throwing away" more and having more source packages but OTOH keeping the main components separate. And that's only thinking-out-aloud; one thing that's not clear to me is how "core" the modules are; and/or what perl6 actually "is" (is it rakudo-star? or rakudo plus any VM? or rakudo plus modules and moarvm?)
