Sorry, I hit send by accident. To revert this removal, Raku needs a volunteer (or many) to take over packaging raku and its dependencies. I'm fine with helping these people to ramp up on packaging Raku for Debian. See https://mentors.debian.net/ for details on how to package for Debian. If nobody steps up, raku will eventually be removed from unstable. Once that point is reached, getting raku back in Debian will be more difficult. All the best Dod (he/him)
