In short: rakudobrew is for the folks who want to track the rapid development of Rakudo. Star is for folks who want something stable in order to play with the language, and includes the Task::Star ecosystem. As Star was cut earlier today, it's based on the rakudo that was current earlier today (and still fairly current as there haven't been many commits in the past few hours). It's more or less the difference between a Python or Perl 5 release, and installing either from git HEAD. rakudobrew builds from HEAD; Star is a release, which happens to be close to HEAD at the moment because it was just created. HEAD will keep moving; Star will stay stable for a while (used to be monthly, but they're considering releasing less often now) before the next release. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
