Alias 6.c to 2018.10 #33

Closed JJ closed 3 years ago

JJ commented 3 years ago

That release was the last one to implement only 6.c. Starting with the next one, implementation of 6.d features was also included. What I propose is simply add a 6.c alias that would actually install 2018.10.

Shouldn't we rather add a respective tag to the rakudo repository instead of special-casing that into rakubrew? (That's what drives the version list of rakubrew.)

Hum, maybe... I can do that easily.

The problem is also that, the way I understand it, that's not really the last 6.c implementation. 6.c implementation has progressed into the newer releases, with new or disambiguated features under the 6.d implementation. So it's actually the last 6.c only implementation, not really the last 6.c implementation. Let me raise the issue somewhere and see if it's not a problem for anyone.

I would disagree that we should use 6.c name for 2018.10. It's certainly not the last 6.c and naming it so will confuse people. Moreover, I don't see why would we ever need a tag of this kind until 6.c is supported in current Rakudo releases. If anyone cares about 6.c most likely his code is using explicit use v6.c; and as such should work with any Rakudo version.

Closing this as I think it's not a rakubrew issue.
