tbrowder hi #perl6-toolchain, anyone here? 11:28
nine hi 11:32
tbrowder hi, nine 11:56
i'm working on the rakudo star installation trying to make zef the only installer and, so far, am making progress 11:57
nine You mean our download .tar.gz? 11:58
tbrowder my question is has anyone thought about breaking the whole rakudo installation process into more discrete pieces?
exactly, the rakudo*star* specifically
my immediate need is to have a stand-alone package to install rakudo star site-wide, as root, on multiple servers so i have a consistent, easily-updatable, perl6 environment, so that is what i'm working on with the goal of a PR soon 12:00
nine I wonder why you focus on star for that? 12:10
tbrowder well, i could foccus on the main distro, but folks on #perl6 didn't seem to want a module installer with it. i want zef to be the main installer because panda doesn't seem to be very consistent in how it gets installed and updated. 12:12
nine My approach is to create and maintain RPM packages for rakudo, zef, Inline::Perl5 and whatever else we're gonna end up using. 12:13
Already got moarvm, nqp and rakudo. Just need to do it for zef and Inline::Perl5 12:14
tbrowder nine, do you make deb packages also? 12:29
nine Nope. Don't have any deb based system. 12:39
I'm using the Open Build Service. That supports deb, too. So it should be relatively straight forward for one who needs it.
tbrowder nine: i'll check it out--thanks! 13:47
nine: are your open build service setup files publicly available? 13:51

tbrowder nine: even though it's RPM they would be helpful for a new Open Build Service user... 15:24
nine tbrowder: build.opensuse.org/project/show/de...ges:parrot 15:35
you'll find the .spec files in the packages
tbrowder nine: thanks! 15:38

stmuk_ I don't see much point in replacing panda in star with zef 20:57
mst I was under the impression that most people thought zef was a better approach at this point, and that tadzik had no problem with us kicking his puppy 21:01
tadzik I'm all for Star containing software that's maintained :) 21:02
proactively, not reactively
it's supposed to be a collection of the best modules, and zef is better than panda
stmuk_ my main issue with zef is that the search only works if you know exactly what you are searching for
nine That ought to be fixable? 21:03
tadzik searching for something you already know seems pretty useless :) 21:04
stmuk_ the whole rakudo-rakudo star thing is too confusing for people anyway 21:06
