[00:32] <Geth> ¦ rakudo: review: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/6706

[00:33] <ugexe> you can use that if you want, or close it if you have something else. it makes the tests DTRT regarding rakuast detection and enabling/disabling assuming RAKUDO_RAKUAST is the switch

[00:36] <ugexe> it can be merged by itself as well

[00:39] <Geth> ¦ rakudo: ugexe++ created pull request #6707: Run the CI frontend variant as legacy rather than RakuAST

[00:39] <Geth> ¦ rakudo: review: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/6707

[00:40] <ugexe> and you can use that one^ for the CI although it shouldn't be merged on its own and instead should be cherry-picked into whatever PR enables rakuast by default

[08:09] <Geth> ¦ rakudo/main: 

[08:09] <Geth> ¦ rakudo/main: Support for Perl 5 regexes was removed, but the :P5 and :Perl5 adverbs

[08:09] <Geth> ¦ rakudo/main: were still recognized as compilation adverbs, so a construct such as

[08:09] <Geth> ¦ rakudo/main: m:P5/o+/ compiled and then never matched. Dropping them from the adverb

[08:09] <Geth> ¦ rakudo/main: tables leaves them unrecognized, so they now get the same compile time

[08:09] <Geth> ¦ rakudo/main: not take.

[08:09] <Geth> ¦ rakudo/main: Nothing selects the P5Regex slang now that the adverb naming it is an
