After thinking on it, :auth<> is sort of an authentication chain. Just a
really short one.
To authenticate a module with :auth you have to first
authenticate zef.

I have been interested in the weeds of Raku's fully qualified compunit naming
convention for a long long time, since I first saw it in Larry's Apocalypse 12
But I'm understanding from this conversation is that people have different
ideas of what the auth field means.
1. It shows who is responsible for this code. It is independent of which
home the author chooses, where home is GitHub, gitlab, cpan, zef,p6c etc.
2. It shows who is responsible for this
Hi Vadim,
I'd put it this way: this API has not been stabilized yet. Though at
the moment it's coming to some consensus.
Hopefully it would not be necessary to change the auth field which is
the main issue of mine. Because fez is registering the user on its first
run, the auth field is not

Currently the only ecosystem with authentication is zef. In order to publish
there fez would ask your password once in a while. This is also why all other
ecosystems are considered
There could be a way for one of them to only act as a middle man. Basically
have fez defer to CPAN and just host a copy of it.

Hi Brad,
Auth is for more than just the author. It is for author, authority,
and authentication.
There is no password or other cryptographic way, so authentication is
not possible. Obviously, I might miss some insight here.
In the documentation I read; "|:auth| generally takes the form
Auth is for more than just the author. It is for author, authority, and
authentication. CPAN can't authenticate github or fez modules, and vice
versa. There is a reason the field is only the first four letters.
That they are seen as different modules is an intended feature, not a bug.
I would
