I was upgrading perl6 and following the standard instructions, only to

Surely if this is not an error, the change should be notified.
Also, I upgraded a module of my own, but the Travis testing failed. It
seems that panda is not working either.
Panda might be deprecated, but removing it seems a bit sudden. I checked
and there seem to be quite a few modules that reference panda in their
travis.yml files.

Hi Richard,
Panda stinks. It is being replaced with `zef`.
Here are my notes on zef (it presumes Fedora Core
25 Linux, but you can get the procedure from it for
Windows):
HTH,
-T
Installing modules: zef
Note: modules can be downloaded from
https://modules.perl6.org/
with
git clone address_from_above
Install zef:
$ git clone https://github.com/ugexe/zef.git
$ mv zef zef.git
$ cd zef.git
$ perl6 -Ilib bin/zef install .
$ cd ..
or if using https://github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releases
$ install_zef_as_user.sh: install it in ~/.perl6
# install_zef_as_root.sh: install it in /opt/rakudo as root (use sudo)
It will give you a path merge one liner
This should install to /usr/lib64/perl6/site/bin/zef
Make a link to it with
# ln -s /usr/lib64/perl6/site/bin/zef /usr/bin/zef
Then update your path:
# vi /etc/profile
under the last pathmunge, add (depending on where perl6 really is)
# perl 6's panda path
# pathmunge /usr/share/perl6/site/bin after
pathmunge /opt/rakudo/bin after
And make a link from the actual location to the expected location
# ln -s /opt/rakudo/bin/perl6 /usr/bin/perl6
