Hi there. Seems the sha sum is wrong in current PKGBUILD. Having downloaded the tar.gz from another machine, I have:

# shasum -a 512 rakudo-star-2018.10.tar.gz
50b258409df71003e30563f8a080691f6316c33c958d90579f999b1efd9382292272032874e58953061d6336b1aa2a74a5fba63326480b85eaaf98e10ef6facc  rakudo-star-2018.10.tar.gz

Where the PKGBUILD has:

sha512sums=('36d6f81d8f2fed218edb606bd29a3265cd258ba86100e7e406cc98ae121a4b076cf1489121568ecf5ce9448756029ee1ce3f05cc0ff331eca4f5d9f065576280')

This causes installation to fail, but replacing the sum with the one I quoted above succeeds. Regards, Mark.

As discussed below, I have created a metapackage to install the Rakudo Star modules if Zef has already been installed. Zef is the Perl6 module manager and requires Rakudo (Perl6) to have already been installed. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/star-meta/

@piojo Thanks for the feedback. The short answer is "no" I haven't got this to build / work properly. You're correct about a meta-package being the way to go. I've been holding out hope that each new release would fix DESTDIR support, but it hasn't. I can set to work on the meta-package, but haven't had much time lately. If you (or anyone) are inclined to do so, you'll also need to make a 'zef' package to that will be used to install the Star modules on top of rakudo. That said, you'll also want to use the *-git versions of moarvm, nqp, and rakudo as another ongoing issue has been that the official releases of those packages are "not new enough" to support the Star modules.

This package isn't building, and the "star" modules aren't even designed to build unless rakudo is already installed. It fails as soon as zef starts to compile, because it looks for /usr/share/perl6/runtime/perl6.moarvm, but the file only exists as $pkgdir/usr/share/perl6/runtime/perl6.moarvm. Since this isn't even supposed to work--upstream said it would make more sense for "star" or "star-packages" to be a meta package which ONLY includes modules, and will be built after rakudo is installed. Reference: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/perl6?date=2017-10-28#l460 (stmuk is the rakudo-star maintainer, so that is as official as it gets.) So it actually makes sense to remove this package and replace it with a "star-modules" package.

Could you install tools/install-dist.pl to /usr/bin, e.g. install -Dm 755 tools/install-dist.pl "$pkgdir/usr/bin/perl6-install-dist" This makes it possible to install perl6 pkgbuilds system-wide without downloading the install-dist.pl script per package.

@newnumbertwo: I'm not sure of the issue, however I'm looking into it. There is a forum thread created by someone else to discuss. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=227185

Does not build.

Thanks @spider-mario. Update had been pushed.

spider-mario commented on 2017-01-18 09:06 (UTC)

The difference with the contents of the PKGBUILD is due to the fact that the .SRCINFO is out of date (and that’s where the AUR gets its version number from). You can regenerate it using mksrcinfo.

dietchrst commented on 2017-01-13 03:24 (UTC)

Yes that makes sense - that PKGBUILD will pull the current one. I was facing a proxy issue, which was avoided by just manually downloading the sources myself and then building from there. It isn't something I normally do, and that's what made me notice the difference in what is listed by the AUR as the source. I don't maintain packages, so I don't really know how it works, or how common it is that there is a difference between what's listed and what the PKGBUILD says. Thanks for responding so quick, and thanks for keeping this current!
