Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade rakudostar -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2017.01.01'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade rakudostar -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2017.01.01'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Package Approved

This package was approved by moderator AdmiringWorm on 28 Apr 2017.

Description

A compiler for the Perl 6 programming language.

The Rakudo Star distribution (aka Rakudo *) combines a Rakudo Perl 6 compiler with additional resources including a selection of modules.

Rakudo Star is meant for those who wish to explore what’s possible with Rakudo Perl 6 and provide feedback on what works, what doesn’t, and what else they would like to see included in the Rakudo Star distribution.

This chocolatey package defaults to the MoarVM.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

This is the sixth post-Christmas (production) release of Rakudo Star and implements Perl v6.c. It comes with support for the MoarVM backend (all module tests pass on supported platforms).

This is the first Rakudo Star release to include “zef” as module installer. “panda” is to be shortly replaced by “zef” and will be removed in the near future.

It’s hoped to produce quarterly Rakudo Star releases during 2017 with 2017.04 (April), 2017.07 (July) and 2017.10 (October) to follow.

Please note that this release of Rakudo Star is not fully functional with the JVM backend from the Rakudo compiler. Please use the MoarVM backend only.

In the Perl 6 world, we make a distinction between the language (“Perl 6”) and specific implementations of the language such as “Rakudo Perl”.

This Star release includes [release 2017.01] of the [Rakudo Perl 6 compiler], version 2017.01 of [MoarVM], plus various modules, documentation, and other resources collected from the Perl 6 community.

The Rakudo compiler changes since the last Rakudo Star release of 2016.11 are now listed in “2016.12.md” and “2017.01.md” under the “rakudo/docs/announce” directory of the source distribution.

Notable changes in modules shipped with Rakudo Star:

  • DBIish: Pg: TypeConverter post-merge cleanup
  • Linenoise: Remove dependency on Native::Resources
  • Pod-To-HTML: Bump version for #22 fix
  • Terminal-ANSIColor: Drop ‘nqp’ dependency
  • doc: Too many to list
  • json: Fix parsing of string literals with a leading combining character.
  • json_fast: bump version since we now escape null bytes
  • panda: modified to warn of its removal in the short term
  • perl6-http-easy: Several pull requests merged
  • perl6-lwp-simple: Tweak tests to work with TAP::Harness
  • perl6-pod-to-bigpage: bump version
  • test-mock: Bump version.
  • zef: imported

There are some key features of Perl 6 that Rakudo Star does not yet handle appropriately, although they will appear in upcoming releases.
Some of the not-quite-there features include:

  • advanced macros
  • non-blocking I/O (in progress)
  • some bits of Synopsis 9 and 11

There is an online resource at <http://perl6.org/compilers/features> that lists the known implemented and missing features of Rakudo’s backends and other Perl 6 implementations.

In many places we’ve tried to make Rakudo smart enough to inform the programmer that a given feature isn’t implemented, but there are many that we’ve missed. Bug reports about missing and broken features are welcomed at <[email protected]>.

See <http://perl6.org/> for links to much more information about Perl 6, including documentation, example code, tutorials, presentations, reference materials, design documents, and other supporting resources. Some Perl 6 tutorials are available under the “docs” directory in the release tarball.

The development team thanks all of the contributors and sponsors for making Rakudo Star possible. If you would like to contribute, see <http://rakudo.org/how-to-help>, ask on the <[email protected]> mailing list, or join us on IRC #perl6 on freenode.
