It's pretty obvious, but I'll say it anyway: in ex/nqp-rx in the parrot repository there is only a compiled version of nqp-rx. Which is needed for building HLLs. If I remember correctly, the reasons for NQP-rx being developed outside of parrot core were (in no particular order) *) the ability to chose a parrot revision to work with *) more technical liberty (regarding coding standards, build system (parrot's build system isn't designed for bootstrapping compilers) *) social liberty (giving people commit access to nqp-rx is much less hassle than giving one to parrot) *) git Patrick, please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these points, or forgot something crucial _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
