Pre-review: parrot and pugs

[Steven Pritchard]

If any of you happen to be interested in Perl6 development, I have
very lightly tested parrot and pugs packages that I'll be submitting
for formal review soon:

http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/parrot-0.4.5-1.src.rpm
  http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/parrot/parrot.spec

http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-Perl6-Pugs-6.2.12-1.src.rpm
  http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-Perl6-Pugs/perl-Perl6-Pugs.spec

I haven't run these through rpmlint or built them with mock yet, so
I'm sure there will be some issues.

I already fixed a couple of things...

http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/parrot-0.4.5-2.src.rpm
  http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/parrot/parrot.spec

Oh, and so far pugs seems to be working.

$ pugs -e 'my @n=<<Perl6 is cool>>; say "@n[]";'
  Perl6 is cool

Very cool.  I'm going to have to play with these in my free cycles this
week (precious few of those lately).

So far parrot builds in mock.  Rpmlint is unhappy, though.  I'll post
with more later.

This one makes rpmlint slightly happier:

If you ignore all of the wrong-script-interpreter warnings (and I
think you should), that just leaves these:

W: parrot unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/lib/parrot/dynext/subproxy.so
  W: parrot unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/lib/parrot/dynext/dynlexpad.so
  W: parrot unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/lib/parrot/dynext/match_group.so
  W: parrot unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/lib/parrot/dynext/gdbmhash.so

And honestly, I'm not sure what to do with those...

Without looking, they probably need to be set chmod +x so that the
debuginfo scripts will strip them properly.

Good call.

So now that I'm back from YAPC, I'm sitting at an x86_64 box instead of
an i386 laptop.  At first glance, it looks like both parrot and pugs
are multilib-unfriendly.  I *think* I almost have parrot fixed up, but
any help with pugs would be most sincerely appreciated.

For some reason ICU isn't being picked up on x86_64, while it worked
fine on i386.

Determining whether ICU is installed................................failed.

[Steven Pritchard]

I finally have parrot building on x86_64.  I had to fix a couple of
hard-coded "lib" references.  As soon as I verify that this builds in
mock on x86_64 and i386 (with my luck I probably broke i386) and
actually works on x86_64 once it is installed, I'm going to submit it
for formal review...

I still haven't figured this one out, so any help would be
appreciated.

Nevermind.  The build worked fine under mock.  It turns out I had
libicu-devel.x86_64 and libicu.i386 installed on my local system.

OK, maybe not "soon".  Let's go with "eventually".

The last version of parrot I tried to build gave me fits, so in the
mean time I've rebuilt pugs without parrot embedding enabled.

http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-Perl6-Pugs-6.2.13-1.src.rpm

This does build successfully in mock, but rpmlint screams, which is
why I'm holding off submitting it for real.  :-)

While the package definitely still has issues, it does work nicely.

$ pugs -e 'my @n=<<Perl6 is cool>>; "@n[]".say;'
 Perl6 is cool

I am now making a mental note to copy things to the ftp server
*before* mentioning them on a public list...

It's really there now, if anyone is interested.  :-)

I've updated the parrot package now also:
