rakudobrew's Introduction

DEPRECATION NOTICE

Rakudobrew has been renamed to Rakubrew. Head over to rakubrew.org for the current version.

rakudobrew

Rakudobrew helps to build one or more versions of Rakudo and quickly switch between them. It's a perlbrew and plenv look alike and supports both flavours of commands.

Rakudobrew can work by modifying $PATH in place (which is a more down to the metal) as well as with shims (which enables advanced features, such as local versions).

Installation

On *nix do:

git clone https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew ~/.rakudobrew
export PATH=~/.rakudobrew/bin:$PATH
# or fish shell: set -U fish_user_paths ~/.rakudobrew/bin/ $fish_user_paths
rakudobrew init # Instructions for permanent installation.

On Windows CMD do:

git clone https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew %USERPROFILE%\rakudobrew
SET PATH=%USERPROFILE%\rakudobrew\bin;%PATH%
rakudobrew init # Instructions for permanent installation.

On Windows PowerShell do:

git clone https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew $Env:USERPROFILE\rakudobrew
$Env:PATH = "$Env:USERPROFILE\rakudobrew\bin;$Env:PATH"
rakudobrew init # Instructions for permanent installation.

Windows notes

Rakudobrew requires Perl 5 and Git to be installed. You can download and install these from

If you want to use the Microsoft compiler cl, you have to make sure the compiler is on your PATH and you have the environment variables cl requires set. This happens automatically when using the Native Tools Command Prompt but has to be done manually when using a normal terminal (or PowerShell). The script vcvars32.bat (which is in the same folder as cl) can set these variables up automatically for you.

On PowerShell this requires some additional trickery as described on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/q/6140864

It might be necessary to use an Administrative console to work around a problem with permissions that go wrong during the build process.

Bootstrapping a Perl 6 implementation

Run something like:

$ rakudobrew build moar

to build the latest Rakudo release (in this case, on the MoarVM backend).

Once that's build switch to it (substitute the version rakudobrew just built):

$ rakudobrew switch moar-2019.03.1

To install zef (the Perl 6 module manager), do:

$ rakudobrew build-zef

global vs shell vs local

The global version is the one that is active when none of the overrides of shell and local are triggered.

The shell version changes the active Rakudo version just in the current shell. Closing the current shell also looses the shell version.

The local version is specific to a folder. When CWD is in that folder or a sub folder that version of Rakudo is used. Only works in shim mode. To unset a local version one must delete the .PL6ENV_VERSION file in the respective folder.

Modes

Rakudo brew has two modes of operation: env and shim.

In env mode rakudobrew modifies the $PATH variable as needed when switching between versions. This is neat because one then runs the executables directly. This is the default mode on *nix.

In shim mode rakudobrew generates wrapper scripts called shims for all executables it can find in all the different Rakudo installations. These shims forward to the actual executable when called. This mechanism allows for some advanced features, such as local versions. When installing a module that adds scripts one must make rakudobrew aware of these new scripts. This is done with

$ rakudobrew rehash

In env mode this is not necessary.

Registering external versions

To add a Rakudo installation to rakudobrew that was created without rakudobrew one should do:

$ rakudobrew register name-of-version /path/to/rakudo/install/directory

Upgrading your Perl 6 implementation

$ rakudobrew build moar

Upgrading rakudobrew itself

$ rakudobrew self-upgrade

Uninstall rakudobrew and its Perl 6(s)

To remove rakudobrew and any Perl 6 implementations it's installed on your system, just remove or rename the ~/.rakudobrew directory.

Specifying custom git path

In case git is not in any standard PATH on your system, you can specify a custom path to the git binary using a GIT_BINARY environment variable:

$ GIT_BINARY="%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\GitHub\PORTAB~1\bin\git.exe" rakudobrew build all

Specifying a git protocol

By default, rakudobrew will use the git protocol when it clones repositories. To override this setting, use the GIT_PROTOCOL environment variable.

$ GIT_PROTOCOL=ssh rakudobrew list-available
# uses [email protected]:/rakudo/rakudo.git

$ GIT_PROTOCOL=https rakudobrew list-available
# uses https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git

Command-line switches

`version` or `current`

Show the currently active Rakudo version.

`versions` or `list`

List all installed Rakudo installations.

`global [version]` or `switch [version]`

Show or set the globally configured Rakudo version.

`shell [--unset|version]`

Show, set or unset the shell version.

`local [version]

Show or set the local version.

`nuke [version]` or `unregister [version]`

Removes an installed or registered version. Versions built by rakudobrew are actually deleted, registered versions are only unregistered but not deleted.

`rehash`

Regenerate all shims. Newly installed scripts will not work unless this is called. This is only necessary in shim mode.

`list-available`

List all Rakudo versions that can be installed.

`build [jvm|moar|moar-blead|all] [tag|branch|sha-1] [--configure-opts=]`

Build a Rakudo version. The arguments are:

The backend.
- moar-blead is the moar and nqp backends at the master branch.
- all will build all backends.
The version to build. Call list-available to see a list of available versions. When left empty the latest release is built. It is also possible to specify a commit sha or branch to build.
Configure options.

`triple [rakudo-ver [nqp-ver [moar-ver]]]`

Build a specific set of Rakudo, NQP and MoarVM commits.

`register <name> <path>`

`build-zef`

Install Zef into the current Rakudo version.

`exec <command> [command-args]`

Explicitly call an executable. You normally shouldn't need to do this.

`rakudobrew which <command>`

Show the full path to the executable.

`whence [--path] <command>`

List all versions that contain the given command. when --path is given the path of the executables is given instead.

`mode [env|shim]`

Show or set the mode of operation.

`self-upgrade`

Upgrade Rakudobrew itself.

`init`

Show installation instructions.

`test [version|all]`

Run Rakudo tests in the current or given version.

rakudobrew's Issues

"file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)"

Per tpoechtrager/osxcross#11 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18500923/issue-with-archive-which-is-not-the-architecture-being-linked-x86-64-in-c , it would appear rakudobrew isn't doing the correct thing on macOS.

wishlist: a way to tell if a new version is available

Hi there! First of all thank you for rakudobrew - it's totally awesome!

As I play more and more with Perl 6, I feel I want to stay as up-to-date as possible with the current state of the code. However, I'm having trouble finding a good way to know whether I should update or not.

I mean, I know rakudobrew build moar will build the latest release on moarvm, but a few questions arise:

is it the latest stable? Or the latest blead? Or none of the above?
do I already have it? (rebuilding takes a while, I don't want to do it unless I have to)

If I type rakudobrew list-available I get a HUGE list of builds with no apparent naming hints to let me know which is stable or which is new (other than a few YYYY.MM releases). Also, when I type "list" I get only "moar-nom", which hints it as the "nom" branch, and from what I could gather "nom" is the name of a "new object model" branch created in 2011, which is... strange :)

So here's what I'd love to see on rakudobrew: a way to tell if there is a new version available for my local build(s) without having to ask for a complete rebuild :)

As a bonus, if list-available would sort by last commit date and show the date, it would definitely help too!

When releases are versioned (like rakudo YYYY.MM and perl 5.22.1), it's easy to see what you have and whether it has been superseded by a newer version or not. But "build moar" currently leaves me wondering in the dark :(

What do you think?

`build moar` claims write error at install stage

rakudobrew reports an error during the make install phase of build moar, even though a switchable perl6 is built.

Platform: OS X 10.9.3
Host Perl5: 5.20.0

$ rakudobrew build moar

Failed running make install at /Users/brian/.rakudobrew/bin/rakudobrew line 23.

However, moar-HEAD shows up in list and I can switch to it.

$ rakudobrew list

$ rakudobrew switch moar

$ perl6 --version
This is perl6 version 2014.06-12-ga7b4cba built on MoarVM version 2014.06

Why in a dot-directory?

Hi! Why are you installing into .rakudobrew? Why does this need to be in a dot-directory?

Thanks,
Ricky

Something alike to plenv shims

perl6-j should not required `rakudobrew switch jvm` first

Unless you explicitly switch to a different VM the shims that point to a different VM do not work:

<after `rakudobrew build jvm` and `rakudobrew rehash`>
rakudobrew: perl6-j: command not found

The 'perl6-j' command exists in these Perl 6 versions:

jvm-nom

"rakudobrew triple" fails with "Couldn't determine correct make program. Aborting."

The triple commands does not seem to be able to build the latest nqp.

I tried it with both of the following combinations:

rakudobrew triple
rakudobrew triple nom master master

The result is the same: It builds moar, but apparently can't build nqp. The last few lines of output are:

Found ../install/bin/moar version 2015.09-86-g071e0a6, which is new enough.
Cleaning up ...
You can now use 'make' to build NQP.
After that, 'make test' will run some tests and
'make install' will install NQP.
Couldn't determine correct make program. Aborting.

Document how to allow the use of https:// rather than git:// URLS for cloning

Some networks don't allow ssh to outside hosts and in those cases an https connection should be used, the symptom is a rather ugly error message:

loning into 'rakudo'...

I'll take a look when I get home.

Consider removing support for pre-glr

Or, if we have to leave it in, consider adding more information to the list of available backends, to say that pre-glr is there ONLY for testing legacy (pre-christmas) perl6 code, and then we could consider adding a note to the JVM backend about how it's not up to par with the MoarVM backend.

command line args could use some documentation

The README points to the output of the command, but that doesn't detail what the individual subcommands actually do. It would be nice if we had another markdown file that listed the available options and what they're for.

Symlinking the rakudobrew script to a directory on the path wipes out the contents of that directory.

Instead of adding ~/.rakudobrew/bin to my path, as the tutorial says, I instead symlinked the script to ~/bin. This had the effect of dumping a whole bunch of new files in my home directory and also wiping the contents of ~/bin.

Suggestion: add a "readlink -m" equivalent when canonicalizing the path to the script.

rakudobrew list returns entries in directory order

When I run rakudobrew list, the installed brews are returned in directory order. Sorting by name would make the listing easier to read.

push users towards tags

Post Christmas, we want users to probably grab the latest tag, not nom, especially if nom isn't where we cut from for each release. (e.g. right now 2016.01.1 is the latest, but the default is to get nom, which reports as 2015.12 still)

feature request: rename folder [backend]-nom to [backend]-sha1

I rebuild rakudo daily, and often find myself wishing I had a copy of the previous version still when I run into certain behaviors or when rakudo fails to build (leaving me with no perl6 installation). Right now I can either:

1) `rakudobrew build moar` && `rakudobrew build moar [last-sha1]'
2) mv ~/.rakudobrew/moar-nom ~/.rakudobrew/moar-[last-sha1]

(1) means rebuilding an install I just delete, including all modules. (2) actually also involves extracting the sha-1 of the old nom for renaming the folder so is less than ideal, and I think renaming the folder would actually break things sometimes.

What I suggest is building all backends into folders with the sha-1 appended (like rakudobrew build moar f1a21af does). Then keep track of the current HEAD similar to how the CURRENT file works, so that you can still map moar-nom or just moar to HEAD. Now when you do rakudobrew build moar and you already have a moar installation it doesn't need its folder name (moar-nom/), instead creating its own folder (moar-[sha1]/). At this point you can default to deleting the old installation or keep it around, and have a flag for doing the other. Maybe this is all better left to an outside script, but I think it may be a nice feature to have integrated

Repeatedly building with tag causes git error

I just did a rakudobrew build moar 2014.12 and it errored out because I had some dependencies missing. So installed the missing dependencies, ran the same command again, and got

You are not currently on a branch. Please specify which
branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details.

rakudobrew list-available not sorted

Running rakudobrew list-available multiple times gets you an unordered list of backends.

Here are samples from multiple runs:

Available backends:

  moar
  moar

Available backends:

  pre-glr

moar shows up twice in list-available

rakudobrew list-available ends with the following list of backends. Note the duplicate moar

'rakudobrew init' is mentioned in README.md but no longer exists

Windows CMD.exe installation failure

SET PATH "%USERPROFILE%\rakudobrew\bin;%PATH%"
Does not set the path unless an equals sign is present:
SET PATH="%USERPROFILE%\rakudobrew\bin;%PATH%"

The problem with the CMD.exe instructions is that if you manipulate the PATH in the current session, the shell still cannot see the rakudobrew binary, as the shell loads PATH into memory at process startup and it is not update-able thereafter. (even if you start a new sub shell with start cmd).

So what you need to do is this:

> SETX PATH "%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\rakudobrew\bin"

Quit the shell, start a new cmd.exe

Now rakudobrew will work

>rakudobrew build moar

Please use FindBin qw($Bin);

Hello Tadeusz,
I can not use my current computer to provid you with a merge request, so please find below my suggestion.
You could use the FindBin Module to have rakudobrew working form any directory in which it is cloned.
http://perldoc.perl.org/FindBin.html
Example:

use FindBin qw($Bin);
#...
my $prefix = "$Bin/..";

Even better:

Example:

use FindBin qw($Bin);
use File::Spec qw(rel2abs);
#...
my $prefix = rel2abs "$Bin/..";

Thanks,
Krasimir

Refactoring for testing

Wonder if it would be worth the while to refactor the main part of the script to a module so that every function can be tested independently, as Chromatic says here in Perl Monks http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=858958. Another option would be to use Test::Script::Run, also mentioned there.

"Could not find" for installed package with null author

I installed rakudobrew and panda with it, then used panda to install the Task::Star packages.

panda install Task::Star

However when I tried to test one of the packages that it installed Term::ANSIColor it couldn't find it.

perl6 -e 'use v6; use Term::ANSIColor;'

I found the file that appeared to define where it was installed and noticed that the author was null.

  "files" : { },
  "name" : "Terminal::ANSIColor",
  "provides" : {
    "Terminal::ANSIColor" : {

    }

I tried changing this to "test" and it will now find the package as expected.

After build-panda, told to add moar-nom/install/share/perl6/site/bin to $PATH

Is that correct? Do I really need to add that to my PATH? I've already got ~/.rakudobrew/bin on my PATH and it seems to work fine...

(I also notice another bin dir in there: ~/.rakudobrew/moar-nom/install/bin )

Done! ^^

Invalid option '--git-reference' on older Rakudo builds

When building rakudos older than 2015.02, Configure.pl fails because it doesn't recognize the --git-reference option. For example:

$ perl bin/rakudobrew build jvm 2014.07
Update git reference: rakudo
Current branch nom is up to date.
Update git reference: nqp
Current branch master is up to date.
Cloning into 'jvm-2014.07'...
Checking connectivity... done.
Note: checking out '2014.07'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

HEAD is now at 0aaba7e... Add some more advent tests

translating `rakudobrew init` for fish shell?

i use fish shell

(i honestly barely learned bash in the first place,
and still don't know fish super well)

so,
the bash function that comes out of rakudobrew init -,
should i translate that to an auto-loading fish function?

i tried just naively translating it line-by-line

#bash rakudobrew() {
function rakudobrew
#bash   local command
#bash   command="$1"
    set --local command $argv[1]

#bash   if [ "$#" -gt 0 ]; then
    if test (count $argv) -gt 0
#bash     shift
        if test (count $argv) -gt 1
            set argv $argv[2..-1]
        else
            set --erase argv
        end
#bash   fi
    end

#bash   case "$command" in
    switch "$command"
#bash   shell)
        case shell
#bash     eval "`rakudobrew "sh" "$@"`";;
            eval (rakudobrew "sh" $argv)
#bash   *)
        case "*"
#bash     command rakudobrew "$command" "$@";;
            command rakudobrew $command $argv
#bash   esac
    end
#bash }
end

but it came out as an unreadable mess,
because i don't actually understand,
what is the purpose of this function?

like, in terms of the list of test inputs
and what it's supposed to do with them

like, is it just supposed to turn "shell" to "sh"?

rakudobrew                  >   command rakudobrew
rakudobrew foo              >   command rakudobrew foo
rakudobrew foo bar          >   command rakudobrew foo bar
rakudobrew shell            >   command rakudobrew sh
rakudobrew shell foo        >   command rakudobrew sh foo
rakudobrew shell foo bar    >   command rakudobrew sh foo bar

or something else...?

(
also,

it said to add this to my (implicitly bash) profile:

export PATH="/home/o1/.rakudobrew/bin:${PATH}"

which would mean, naively translating, adding this to my config.fish:

set --export PATH $HOME/.rakudobrew/bin $PATH

but i already have that in my path from following the direction in the readme to run:

set -U fish_user_paths ~/.rakudobrew/bin/ $fish_user_paths

)

This is Ubuntu 14.04, latest version of rakudobrew

build-panda task tells me panda's up to date, but then proceeds to build it

Haven't run rakudobrew build moar in a while. After doing so, did this:

$ rakudobrew build-panda
Already up-to-date.
==> Bootstrapping Panda
==> Fetching File::Find
==> Building File::Find
Compiling lib/File/Find.pm to mbc
==> Testing File::Find
t/01-file-find.t .. ok
{snip}

So, it gives me the impression that its panda is up to date, but then it goes on to rebuild it anyway.

Windows PowerShell installation failure

On Windows 10, the PowerShell instructions work fine until this step:

> rakudobrew init rakudobrew: No version set.

This is with PowerShell version 5.0

'rakudobrew build all' fails due to --gen-parrot

Asking rakudobrew to build all backends fails now due to a lack of --gen-parrot.

git protocol insufficient, also need ssh as an option

I get the following error:

$ rakudobrew list-available
Available Rakudo versions:
fatal: Unable to look up github.com (port 9418) (nodename nor servname provided, or not known)

rakudobrew list-available completes with warnings

If you don't have a rakudo installed yet, you get the following warnings when running rakudobrew list-available

How to reproduce:

2.rakudobrew build zef
3.rakudobrew build moar // After some time to update.
4.After rakudo updating, rakudobrew tries to update zef too.
5.Boom!

It looks like the problem is with already installed instance of zef. If we update zef after moar only if zef is installed, then we need to add --force flag to over-write it.

The bug disappears like this:

Any hints?

rakudobrew nuke - documentation, usage, misc.

Updating shims

I'm guessing that I want: rakudobrew nuke <version> here, but there's no help I can find to say what nuke does or how to use it. (the generic usage doesn't work in my case: "nuke moar" is confused)

The text "Switch to what?" is probably generic text from a version selector, but in nuke's case, it's not a switch, so the message is confusing.

Document GIT_PROTOCOL env variable

GIT_BINARY has a mention on the README, GIT_PROTOCOL needs one as well.

switch moar fails

First I did

bin/rakudobrew build all

which seemed to work.

Then I did

>bin/rakudobrew switch moar

support git cloning over https as well

As some people require git: and some https: a command line parameter would be the best solution with maybe a config file or env var to not have to type it every time if you differ from the default.

List dependencies

Rakudobrew requires both Git and Perl to be installed before it will work. Especially on Windows these two are not present by default. The installation instructions fail if Perl is not present with an unhelpful error message ('perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.).

The user should install Strawberry Perl / Activestate Perl and Git for Windows. Then follow the installation instructions.

IO::Socket::SSL missing

GitHub is probably switching communication to https.

Failure Summary
----------------
Task::Star(
    *test stage failed for LWP::Simple: Tests failed)

'rakudobrew build moar' requires all libraries to be reinstalled.

I'm new to Perl 6, but not Perl. I noticed that when upgrading Perl 6 with rakudobrew, I get a new installation, and then have to reinstall all the libraries I was using. This poses some problems for use in production:

If Perl 6 is used extensively in projects, then dozens of libraries will be used, over time. Having to reinstall these libraries every time the compiler is updated, is problematic. It could take hours, or days, to do so.
If a library is deprecated from the repository, then the upgrade may become untenable. I may have to find a way to manually move the old library to the new location, or alter the production code to use another method which the library was providing. This would put an unexpected delay into my schedule.
If all goes well, and all the libraries are updated, some of the libraries may be updated upon reinstall, without my intention to upgrade those libraries.

I like the idea of keeping different versions of Perl 6 in different locations. Upgrading software always has the potential to cause problems, and being able to restore to an older version is a great idea, and rakudobrew allows this easily. However, the libraries should be maintained in a separate location, and allow the user to update those at his discretion. This would make a production project much more manageable.

Due to these reasons, I think Perl 6 is not yet ready for a production environment.
