That sounds like a sensible decision. After thinking about the job, I
realise that it's going to take careful untangling, locating every
reference to files before renaming them.

Re: Rakudo Star v2020.01

[Vadim Belman]

Neither you need to rename anything Patrick unless it's something purely Rakudo 
Star related. Whatever is in Rakudo directory will be renamed when time comes.

Also, perl6 binaries (or rather links to rakudo binaries) are there for 
backward compatibility. They will be deprecated with the release of v6.e of 
Raku language and removed in v6.f.

Best regards,
Vadim Belman

I have no plans currently to go through the existing infrastructure and
rename things. I'm not intimately familiar with the code in Rakudo
Star, and prefer to not touch what isn't broken. If references are
found and can be easily fixed, I'll gladly look into it, though. Of
course, patches to help out are much appreciated as well!

Also, please note that the language is called Raku, the compiler is
Rakudo.

I've managed to download 2020.01, and run it with an explicit path,
but the directory structure that my script used to follow, is broken
in some way.  (I'll investigate further, to see if I can spot the
change, but a required directory tree might help me find it, if you
could provide one.)

A fair number of references to "perl6" remain in the directories. How
many references have to be untangled before it is consistently
"rakudo"?

Rakudo Star v2020.01

[Patrick Spek via perl6-users]

Hi everyone!

Just now I've sent an announcement to perl6-compil...@perl.org, to
notify people that I've made a first non-rc release of Rakudo Star. For
those of you that use Rakudo Star, this may be a good time to try out
the latest version! The files are available from https://dist.tyil.nl:

- https://dist.tyil.nl/raku/rakudo-star/rakudo-star-2020.01.tar.gz
- https://dist.tyil.nl/raku/rakudo-star/rakudo-star-2020.01.tar.gz.asc
- https://dist.tyil.nl/raku/rakudo-star/rakudo-star-2020.01.tar.gz.checksums.txt

I've not had many people to test things, but the rakudo spectest
succeeds on all my machines, and I've been using it on my own machines
for a couple weeks now, so I have no reason not to believe this release
will work.

Do note, however, that I only use, and therefore test, on GNU+Linux.
This release does *not* contain a .msi (for Windows users) or a .dmg
(for Mac users). If anyone would like to help out by building those
files, please do not hesitate to reach out!

If you have any questions on how to install this (on GNU+Linux or
otherwise), please reply to the mailing list and I (or other people,
especially for Windows and Mac users) will do my (or our) best to help
you out.

Any feedback on how to best communicate these releases is also very
much appreciated.

Lastly, I do not have access to the sources of https://rakudo.org/ (as
far as I'm aware), and can therefore not update that website to mirror
the release files, nor update its documentation. If anyone knows who to
contact for this, please let me know.

for any next releases, please hit me up on IRC.
