nqp and moarvm are also split out in Fedora.
I have just succeeded in building panda (from panda's GIT) with a rakudo
star (lite) from Fedora.
I tried to use --prefix with bootstrap.pl. This built modules but did
not store them the right way (in hash). So useless at the end.
**perl bootstrap.pl** - without prefix option - builds everything the
right way but at a strange place in the RPM build system of Fedora.
Then, I moved everything at the **expected** place.
Now **perl6 -M Panda -e ''** and for example **panda info p3doc** work.
Thanks for all your explanations.
I must NOT think Perl6 modules as Perl5 modules!

I would also suggest stealing ideas from other packagers
Debian have Rakudo 2016.04 in sid
https://packages.debian.org/sid/rakudo
They have also split out nqp and moarvm packages.

Rakudo Star has been built and installed successfully.
Please make sure that the following directories are in PATH:
/usr/bin
/usr/share/perl6/site/bin
panda is in the latter path
The source modules are installed in a flat hier with hashed filenames
under /usr/share/perl6/site/sources
You may find it easier to package upstream panda rather than the one
in R*. Although packaging the same git version as R* might be advised
since it is known to have passed its tests against R 2016.04.

Sure better to have individual units as individual RPM.
I think Fedora is currently trying to succeed in rakudo-star full
installation before splitting. And on my hands the full installation does
not work if I uncomment the module-install (issues with paths searched by
panda bootstrap).
So, I am back with a raduko-star installation that looks like a basic rakudo
installation. And I will install panda separately.
On your side where do panda files are located?
Where does panda install modules?
I think you're right, and the rpm packaging of perl5 is rather similar --
but simpler, as there aren't the bifurcations into moarvm vs jvm, and panda
vs zef.
But perl6 is young yet.
Happily, it's not too hard to package a single compiler, e.g. rakudo-moar.
And as long as you're comfy with rpmbuild, you can knock out a few modules,
then script the process. I no longer have the actual code, but my cpan2rpm
script was really short and simple.
