[]$ perl6 -v

(BTW, it appears that perl-all no longer works. I sent this message
there, and saw nothing.)

same here p6doc -f build building index on first run. Please wait...

@agurB Are you using a Fedora RPM or have you installed from source?

Nov 30 '18 12:11 stmuk

dnf install rakudo dnf install rakudo-zef zef install p6doc

Dec 03 '18 05:12 agurB

installed from source works fine Fedora 4.19.5-300.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 27 19:29:23 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Given that this was fixed in HEAD at some point, I'm closing the ticket.

The problem has recurred with: perl6 -v This is Rakudo Star version 2019.03.1 built on MoarVM version 2019.03 implementing Perl 6.d. uname -a Linux localhost 5.2.7-desktop-1.mga7 #1 SMP Wed Aug 7 10:32:19 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It looks as though whatever was "fixed in HEAD" hasn't made it into Rakudo*. Could we have details (or at least an issue number) to help implement the fix, please?

Aug 24 '19 19:08 alanrocker

We have a new p6doc after GSoC. Please look at https://github.com/noisegul/perl6-p6doc

This work uses another GSoC project to remake Perl6-Documentable.
The two are part of a major refactor of the documentation system that splits out various parts of the perl6-doc repo as described in the wiki.
The refactoring has improved tests and a more logical robust structure, whilst at the same time ensuring that the user facing pages are the same. In short, the problems facing p6doc have been resolved, but the refactoring requires systematic and stage introduction. The plan is to do this in September. A little patience please.

If there's anything I can do to help with the Rakudo* update, I'd be happy to do it.

Aug 25 '19 14:08 alanrocker

What was the solution that supposedly made it into HEAD?

Aug 26 '19 13:08 alanrocker

@alanrocker p6doc is an almost complete rewrite. So I don't think this is addressed per se.

Aug 26 '19 15:08 JJ

With p6doc spun off, what's left of this issue in this repository?

Nothing.
