Is that on rakudo.org? I see some mention of rakudobrew on http://rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/ pending updates to the page[^1], but the very first sentence of even that page reads "The recommended way to use Rakudo is by downloading Rakudo Star" [1] https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=130500#ticket-history > I now know that perl6-debug-m is bit rotted, but I quote from 5 > December > 2012 (https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/a-perl-6- > debugger/): You should probably double check the dates on posts that show up in Google. This one for example was written 5 years ago, which is 3 years before the first stable language version was even released.

I was talking about removing rakudobrew, not the debugger. Rakudobrew has many quirks and people never bother to read its documentation to learn about them. Not to mention it builds a HEAD commit by default, leaving the user open to (potentially serious) bugs. > It is a shame that this has happened because it seems a step > backwards. This project is largely driven by volunteers. You're welcome to join the effort to keep broken things unbroken :)
