So, I decided to just pack them together -in a slightly larger blog post instead. - -## Binary Rakudo Star builds for GNU+Linux and FreeBSD - -A friend on IRC asked if it was possible to get Rakudo Star precompiled for -ARM, since compiling it on his machine took forever. I took a look around for -potential build services, and settled for [Sourcehut](https://builds.sr.ht/). - -I added build instructions for amd64 FreeBSD, GNU+Linux, musl+Linux, and ARM -GNU+Linux. Tarballs with precompiled binaries get build whenever I push to the -Rakudo Star mirror on Sourcehut, and are uploaded to -[dist.tyil.nl/tmp](https://dist.tyil.nl/tmp/). Currently, these are not -considered to be an official part of Rakudo Star, but if interest increases and -more people can test these packages, I can include them in official releases. - -## `IRC::Client` plugins - -IRC bots are great fun, and the -[`IRC::Client`](https://github.com/raku-community-modules/perl6-IRC-Client) -module allows for easy extension through *plugins*. For my own IRC bot, -[musashi](https://git.sr.ht/~tyil/raku-local-musashi), I've created two new -plugins, which are now available in the Raku ecosystem for anyone to use. - -### `IRC::Client::Plugin::Dicerolls` - -The first plugin I've created can do dice rolls, D&D style.
