Rakudo Star is a distribution more akin to openSUSE itself than to Rakudo. Linux distributions already have all the tools and mechanisms you could ever need to get collections of software installed. No need to bundle different things into one package. The modules included in Rakudo Star are really a random collection. They got picked because they were in a somewhat useful state many years ago with only minor updates (like replacing panda with zef). Many more current modules are missing, most notably cro, which is _the_ way to do HTTP(2) both on client and server side. As a rakudo core developer I don't see that much difference in testing between the Rakudo compiler and Rakudo Star releases. Yes, Steve does some more testing, most of all on Windows and some other platforms, but that doesn't benefit openSUSE users all that much. Rakudo compiler releases are very well tested already. E.g. we run the test suites of all modules in the ecosystem and look for regressions. On top of that I apply my own judgement on whether to package a particular compiler release for openSUSE or not. As we use rakudo at work, I'd like my Perl 6 runtime to be stable and trustworthy. I'm marking this bug as WONTFIX. Please feel free and welcome to reopen if my arguments are not convincing or if I'm missing something. Also feel welcome to create missing packages (like p6doc) - it's a pretty easy process. I'd be happy to include them! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
