[Pkg-parrot-devel] Parrot Runtime Library

[Allison Randal]

Here's a library proposal for the Parrot packages. This doesn't
necessarily mean the libraries dropped from the Parrot packages are
dropped from the Parrot tarball at the same time, we may want a more
gradual deprecation there. But, we can be a little more progressive in
the Parrot packages, as long as we fully support the other packages that
depend on Parrot (we don't need to worry about unpackaged languages
using older tools).

libtest-parrot:
Test/*

libdata-dumper-parrot:
Data/*
dumper.pir
dumper.pbc

Not sure what to do with these. Any chance any of them will be dropped,
or no longer needed by NQP/Rakudo?:
Getopt/Obj.pbc
Parrot/Exception.pbc
distutils.pbc
config.pir
config.pbc
opsc.pbc


I was going to propose moving these to a libnqp-parrot package, but are
they now moving to NQP itself?:
PCT.pbc
PCT/*
P6object.pbc
Regex.pbc
P6Regex.pbc
HLL.pbc
nqp-setting.pbc


We could move these to a libpge-parrot package, but is PGE now replaced
by NQP?:
PGE.pbc
PGE/*

Definitely drop:
TGE.pbc
