* Package name    : perl6
  Version         : 6c

  Description     : Perl6 Compiler

Perl 6 is a programming language, member of the Perl family. Like Perl 5, her
world-famous big sister, Perl 6 intends to carry forward the high ideals of
the Perl community and is currently being developed by a team of dedicated and
enthusiastic volunteers.

perl6 package is a meta package that aims to depend on a Perl6
compiler and Perl6 core modules. Currently this package depends only
on a compiler (rakudo). Dependency on the main perl6 modules 
will be added once they are available on Debian.

Perl6 version number represents the version of the language specification.
The version of the compiler is another matter.

++++++

The goal of this package is to let people install a perl6 compiler with 
"apt install perl6". There's no need for the user to know that he actually 
needs rakudo package.

This package will be handled by pkg-rakudo team.

All the best
