A user-friendly distribution of the Raku programming language.
There are currently two different tools within this repo. The so called RSTAR utility,
which manages the Linux build, and the chocolatey bases build script, which manages the Windows MSI build.
The the rstar utility is written in bash, all additional features should be
also based on bash. Using other utilities is accepted, but effort should be made to
avoid introducing new utilities. Furthermore, all code should be linted against
shellcheck and not produce any warnings.
One of Rakudo Star's main features is in supplying users with a number of popular community modules.
You should always prefer to use a pinned version of a module, wherever versions are available!
This modules file contains references to all community modules to be bundled with Rakudo Star. It is a space-separated format. The first column is the name of the module, the second the protocol to use, with the third column being the URL to fetch it from. Columns following the third have different meaning depending on the protocol.
rstar with
RSTAR_DEBUG=1, and the output of rstar sysinfo in your message.The main git repository lives at https://github.com/rakudo/star. This should be used as the reference to clone from.
Additionally, there are old mirrors of this repository at other places and from previous maintainers. You may find additional helpful information there, which can help to get a better understanding and some history of the Star package:
