Naming Guidelines
Perl 6 module packages generally follow the naming scheme of rakudo-<Perl-6-Module-Name>.
For example if the code to load a perl 6 module would be:
use XML::Writer;
then the Name tag is:
Name: rakudo-XML-Writer
More examples for package names are: rakudo-LibraryCheck, rakudo-Readline, rakudo-Inline-Perl5
Macros
Starting with Fedora 25, the following macros for packaging Perl 6 modules are provided by the rakudo package:
| Macro | Description |
|---|---|
%rakudo_rpm_version |
rakudo package release number |
%perl6_vendor_dir |
vendor directory: %{_libdir}/perl6/vendor
|
%perl6_site_dir |
site directory: %{_libdir}/perl6/site
|
%perl6_mod_inst |
A Perl 6 script to install Perl 6 modules |
Directory Ownership
The directories and the version file
- %perl6_vendor_dir/*
- %perl6_vendor_dir/bin
- %perl6_vendor_dir/dist
- %perl6_vendor_dir/precomp
- %perl6_vendor_dir/resources
- %perl6_vendor_dir/short
- %perl6_vendor_dir/sources
- %perl6_vendor_dir/version
- %perl6_site_dir/*
- ...
are owned by the rakudo interpreter package. The Perl 6 module packages only own the files and directories underneath the directories %perl6_vendor_dir/*
%files
...
%{perl6_vendor_dir}/*/*
tar files on CPAN
CPAN has Perl6 directories at the author of Perl 6 modules. In general you can take the sources as tar file from the Perl 6 directories on CPAN. E.g.
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/U/UG/UGEXE/Perl6/zef-0.1.15.tar.gz http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/N/NI/NINE/Perl6/Inline-Perl5-0.28.tar.gz
Precompiling dependency on rakudo updates
Perl 6 module packages depend on the rakudo-compiler-id. Updating the rakudo interpreter needs to rebuild all Perl 6 module packages. It is planned to update the rakudo stack quarterly.
