wayland tbrowder: Not sure I understand the question. I assume you mean a file in the bin directory, a la docs.raku.org/language/distributio..._directory ? Personally I would've chosen a soft link -- is there a reason for avoiding one? 01:02

tbrowder wayland: thanks, i thought of that, too, but chatgpt kept mentioning reasons not to do that and my linux foo couldn't disagree. this morning i thought of an easy way using mi6: in the dist.ini file add a command to copy X to Y to run before build 11:51
tellable6 tbrowder, I'll pass your message to wayland

tbrowder i'm having probs with JSON::Fast and wondeer if i should use lizmat's JSON::Fast::Hyper instead. 14:34
disbot4 <antononcube> What are the problems with “JSON::Fast” ? 14:35
14:36 tonyo left 14:51 tonyo joined
tbrowder it may be my setup, but i keep getting errors about JSON::Fast when i'm not even using it! 14:57
i am now using JSON::Fast::Hyper and have to make sure i'm using it correctly... 14:59
i just upgraded to raku 2026.5.1 and trying again... 15:00
ok, looking good so far... 15:05
15:06 tonyo left 15:07 tonyo joined 15:11 tonyo left 15:19 tonyo joined 15:20 jjido left
lizmat JSON::Fast::Hyper just uses JSON::Fast under the hood, so don't expect too much from using ::Hyper 15:21
15:28 bisectable6 left 15:38 tonyo left
tbrowder at least it’s quiet! the msg i was getting was about using perl instead of raku. 15:40

tbrowder erg, mi6 is still using JSON::Fast. lizmat: can you convince @skaji to either tend to his issues or else hand it over to someone else? 16:32
lizmat the problem is Mi6 using JSON::Fast ? 16:38
I think skaji__ san is responsive to urgent matters 16:39

xinming What is the right way to embed data in the script? 18:44
I mean, appending a large txt file along with script 18:45
For now, I use here doc, with BEGIN phaser, but don't know if there is better way. 18:46
lizmat =finish and $=finish 18:48
which are oddly not documented :-( 18:49
xinming lizmat: Will later send bug report.

lizmat tonyo ugexe looks like the zef indexer isn't processing uploads :-( 19:28
timo doesn't it always take a little while? 19:35
