Installing with zef asks for my github username

[randyl]

When I try to install GD using zef, I'm asked for my github username:

$ zef install GD
===> Searching for: GD
Username for 'https://github.com':

This seemed suspicious, so I hit control-C to cancel. Why is it asking for my username? Also, how would I go about debugging this to find the answer?

It's a bit of a mystery as to why this is happening. Is it possible that it's the redirect occasioned by it having perl6-community-modules in the URI in the META6.json I'll change that in the first instance and see what happens.

Related? I get errors below. Not familiar with installation stuff. ===> Searching for: GD ===> Searching for missing dependencies: NativeHelpers::Array ===> Fetching [FAIL]: GD:ver<0.0.2>:auth:api<1.0> from https://github.com/perl6-community-modules/raku-GD.git Aborting due to fetch failure: GD:ver<0.0.2>:auth:api<1.0> (use --force-fetch to override)

Yep this looks fine now :-D

I've tested on three distinct computers and this seems to be fixed. There is a separate issue on FreeBSD which may be related to the native library versioning, I'll tackle that separately.
