hi, i have build parrot and pugs this weekend from the CPAN tarballs on my 550mhz ppc debian etch system
i used no other upstream sources than CPAN. although there were some hassles getting the modules all downloaded and install that needed for the perl5 support part, the debian packages provided an adequate base for the build. in particular the ghc6 and supporting packages worked to build pugs (the perl6 interpreter based on ghc and perl5 and parrot). anybody else feel like trying this who has the cpu cycles to spare ? i think the low water requirement for ram would be around 180MB at least. it was a good test of the new system. this is apha software. but they have a huge "smoke test" suite for pugs that i ran and it showed my results are 100% in relation to known status. there are a lot of holes but it appears that things are happening with perl6. it could be put into a deb package. i wouldn't mind having a binary for my 68k system (it would run in 64mB i think even though it would not build). if anybody will try and/or wants to know dependencies, let me know. brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
