Rakudo Star -- a useful, usable, "early adopter" distribution of Perl 6 Rakudo Star is a distribution of Perl 6 aimed at early adopters. This git repository isn't the distribution itself; the repository contains the tools and scripts used to create a distribution. If you're looking to simply download and run the latest release of Rakudo Star, please download a .tar.gz or .msi file from http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/. Note: the tar files available from github.com are NOT suitable for building Rakudo Star; do not use them. If you're still reading this, we assume you're a Rakudo Star release manager, or someone that is looking to create new Perl 6 distributions based on the tools here. Run "make -f tools/star/Makefile" to populate a distribution image. See tools/star/release-guide.pod for the steps needed to build a candidate release. See for a list of modules we want included in the distribution.
