• [gentoo-dev] dev-lang/rakudo eclass

    From Jeff Gazso@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 1 02:00:01 2022
    Hello everyone,

    I've been testing dev-lang/raku support on Gentoo and submitting
    various bugs for a while. I submitted https://bugs.gentoo.org/827802 "dev-lang/rakudo lacks an ebuild for the zef module installer" in an
    effort to improve Gentoo's support for Raku by getting a proper Raku
    module installer in place. This would be an obvious stepping stone
    towards a dev-lang/rakudo-star meta-package.

    After some back-and-forth a fellow Gentoo user and Raku enthusiast
    (crocket) attached a draft eclass which supports the zef module
    installer, Prove6 for unit testing, and Inline-Perl5 for Perl
    integration to the bug. This caught Sam James' attention and he
    suggested the eclass be submitted to this list in git-am patch format.
    The person who submitted the eclass seemed a bit reluctant to email
    the list. I was going to do it for him, but then I realized that I
    don't know what git-am patch format is.

    Can someone on this list look at the eclass attached to https://bugs.gentoo.org/827802 and provide direction?

    ~Jeff
