1) A package format.
This is supposed to be a source format, but different from current model
used in CPAN, it's pretty clear already that it can't include a "build
system", like ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Install.
There's already some consensus that this "source package" format should
describe what it contains, not how it should be built or installed. For
instance, it should only say something like "in the lib directory
there's a set of STD Perl 6 modules that don't require any low-level
integration".
Would it be accurate to describe this as specifying where things
should be installed, but only at a high enough level that it's platform
independent?
Thanks,
