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="'2018.04'" [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="'2018.04'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

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

Exit $exitCode

- name: Install rakudostar
  win_chocolatey:
    name: rakudostar
    version: '2018.04'
    source: INTERNAL REPO URL
    state: present

chocolatey_package 'rakudostar' do
  action    :install
  source   'INTERNAL REPO URL'
  version  '2018.04'
end

See docs at https://docs.chef.io/resource_chocolatey_package.html.


cChocoPackageInstaller rakudostar
{
    Name     = "rakudostar"
    Version  = "2018.04"
    Source   = "INTERNAL REPO URL"
}

  ensure   => '2018.04',
  provider => 'chocolatey',
  source   => 'INTERNAL REPO URL',

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.

Announce: Rakudo Star Release 2018.04

Rakudo Star Release 2018.04

2018-05-07

On behalf of the Rakudo and Perl 6 development teams, I'm pleased to
announce the April 2018 release of "Rakudo Star", a useful and usable
production distribution of Rakudo Perl 6. The tarball for this release
is available from https://rakudo.perl6.org/downloads/star/.

Binaries for macOS and Windows (64 bit) are also available at the same
location.

This is a 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). Currently, Star is on a
quarterly release cycle.

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
6".

This Star release includes release 2018.04.1
of the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler,
version 2018.04.1 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
2017.10 are now listed in "2018.02.md", "2018.03.md", "2018.04.md" and
2018.04.1.md" under the "rakudo/docs/announce" directory of the source
distribution.

Important Rakudo bug fixes are now listed at Deprecation:

+ "panda" has been removed from releases after 2017.10 since it is deprecated. Please use "zef".
+ LWPSimple is deprecated and will be removed. Please use "HTTPUserAgent".

Notable changes in modules shipped with Rakudo Star:

+ datetime-parse: Update asctime parsing
+ doc: Too many to list including jjmerelo TPF Grant Work.
+ http-useragent: Pre-allocate a buffer when getting content
+ json_fast: Unescape fixes.
+ jsonrpc: LWPSimple replaced with HTTPUserAgent.
+ svg-plot: Fix xy-line plot closing over some variables it shouldn't.
+ zef: version 0.3.1 (includes fix for space in home directory)

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

  • 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 https://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.
