The Debian Rakudo packagers are requesting that ICU be made a requirement for the Debian Parrot packages. They're trying to build nqp from source and it fails tests without ICU. I have a couple of questions around this:
- I hate adding extra dependencies, but I also tend to lean toward supporting whatever languages need from the Parrot packages. Anyone see any problem with requiring ICU for Parrot on Debian? - We're currently shipping a version of NQP pre-built in Parrot. If people are building nqp from source separately (or just installing it from packages), can we drop that pre-built version from the Parrot repo?
