| Series | gnu: rakudo: Update to 2022.04 and packages too. | expand |
Given that it's been almost 2 years I've gone ahead and pushed the patches. Looking at some sources upstream, to the best of my understanding PERL6LIB should be changed to RAKULIB, but the %out/share/perl6 path should stay, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It wasn't clear if %out/share/perl6 was on purpose or because it was already in use and not worth trying to change. On Fri, Apr 29, 2022 at 05:14:38AM +0000, Paul A.

This patch series updates Rakudo to the latest version. It also updates all the packages in gnu/packages/perl6.scm to reflect the name change from Perl 6 to Raku, and also updates all the packages for which newer versions are available. The reason this is a WIP is the following: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ raku -MFormat::Lisp ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling: Type check failed in binding to parameter '$address'; expected Str but got Any (Any) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Besides for that (admittedly major) issue, Raku runs fine. Some other minor issues and comments: • Building Rakudo results in warnings about bogus entries in RUNPATH, which I don't know how to address: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- /gnu/store/j4swlyclrwf2sw334lxpf00ll2d0lw36-rakudo-2022.04/bin/raku: warning: RUNPATH contains bogus entries: ("//gnu/store/1w61hypzwmvxw5fpbnv5kx037qbw216k-moarvm-2022.04/lib") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- • I was unaware of bug#46352 [1] when I started updating Rakudo, and thus my efforts were completely independent of Alexandru-Sergiu Marton's. The only relevant difference between our patch series is that mine does not package dyncall. Perhaps it should. • In a future patch series, we should rename perl6.scm to raku.scm and all the perl6- prefixes to raku-, but note that perl6-tap-harness must be renamed to raku-tap-harness6 to reflect the new upstream name. The Rakudo build system also needs to be updated, because the prove6 script no longer exists. The documentation also needs to be updated. • The PERL6LIB environment variable is deprecated in favor of RAKUDOLIB and RAKULIB, but I don't know what that means for native-search-paths. But dropping support for PERL6LIB can (and probably should) wait a while. In conclusion, I'm going to try debugging the module compilation issues, but keeping in mind that I decided to update Rakudo because I was interested in learning some form of Perl (I didn't know the packaging rabbit hole I would be descending into :)), I don't know how much success I will have. I would appreciate any help or pointers. Best regards, Paul [1]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=46352 Paul A.
