Ah, that has been a mistake on my part, apologies. I can use a more "correct" naming scheme in the future. Are there any rules besides this one that release names should adhere to? I'll write up a document about it so I have it documented, and other people know what to expect as well. On Wed, 6 N

This is not really zef's "implementation detail". See rakudo sources in src/core.c/CompUnit and grep for 'sha1'. Best regards, Vadim Belman > On Nov 6, 2019, at 9:04 AM, Patrick Spek via perl6-users > wrote: > > The problem is clearly with the Linenoise module, I'll have to look > into that a

When I report a problem, I try to supply as complete a picture as possible, without imposing my filter on the data. So many times I've had a vital clue omitted by someone who "didn't think that X was important". With so many parties involved, it's not surprising that errors reveal issues entirely

The problem is clearly with the Linenoise module, I'll have to look into that and see if it's something I can fix. The path name you see is "an implementation detail" of Zef, I've been told before. I have no clue how it actually calculates them, and no idea where to find any documentation on that.

Normally a user is not supposed to see the hashed name. The reason for seeing it is either an internal error or a problem with the path in the message. I would rather tend to consider the latter and recommend checking existence of the directories in the path and their permissions. Best regards,

I'm treating this as a test of the process, reporting the problems created, so that the process can be fixed. Merely hacking up a solution might give me a better functioning installation, but it would leave the problem for everyone else. The unfriendly filenames are really an additional issue. Ord

In a previous installation location, have you tried grepping for: "91857A0CE92503F53D56DEBB6F633402878D0FF0" ...and copying it over to your new 'dist' directory? (/home/guru/rakudo/rakudo-star-2019.07.1/install/share/perl6/site/dist/) The 'dist' directory appears to keep track of modules by versi

After a few difficulties caused by subtly different paths and version identification (like -n vs .n for sub-version ids) the download and installation appears to have worked, but trying the REPL produced the following error message: "I ran into a problem while trying to set up Linenoise: Failed to
