Heh, I guess we're thinking the same way ;-)

Yes, there are tarballs there 
http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/

rakudo-star-2015.09.tar.gz   contains everything, moar, nqp, rakudo, panda and 
core modules.

Creating perl6 from there would be much simpler.

I wonder if keeping separate binary package for moar nqp make sense ?

We'd still need to:
- remove libtomath
- remove minified js files
- ship arch dependant stuff in separate binary packages

We'd then drop rakudo, nqp, moar source package and keep only rakudo-star.

thoughts ?

All the best
