I'm guessing the json file for the fez ecosystem wasn't written out fully so until it was updated again zef would just see it as empty. At the very least...

Yeah that is correct. For the ecosystems it downloads the file to `~/.zef/store/fez.json` and then moves it to `~/.zef/store/fez/fez.json` (or maybe its the other way around... its early). I'm not...

You could do the bin-script-as-a-module trick, and just `use MyCLI;` so your bin-script-as-a-module has access to `%?RESOURCES` For this to otherwise work scripts would probably have to be precompiled (they...

Note this is blocked by a bug in rakudo. On windows this doesn't work because `CompUnit::RepositoryRegistry.repository-for-name('site')` returns undefined when running the code in this PR. EDIT: Fixed the bug in...

What do you mean none of them depend on each other? The stack trace quite clearly implicates `OpenSSL::NativeLib::dll-resource`. And while I don't know why exactly it doesn' work, I can't...

You could add debug output to the `gen-lib` -- https://github.com/sergot/openssl/blob/edf86b6dbc7ba6dfc44cdc7e4dd853fc6ca189cb/lib/OpenSSL/NativeLib.pm6#L9-L13 to get a better idea. What OpenSSL is doing with `&gen-lib`/resources is a hack, but I don't think it is...

Well those backend are all plugins. For instance no one on Linux cares that powershell is not installed. Additionally the only *required* backend is the one for handling paths —...
