The project leads have the intention to port it to other VMs. But, if/when they do, the packaging will need to distinguish between the libraries for Parrot and the libraries for other languages. Maybe the solution is a source package named nqp, with different binary packages libparrot-nqp, libmono-nqp, etc... It's worth talking to Patrick about his plans. > Also, aren't parrot-nqp and nqp different things? (parrot-nqp is currently > used to build nqp). NQP has been through several major refactors. This is just the latest one. It's a bootstrapping compiler, so using a version of itself to build itself is normal.
