Bug#1027686: transition: rakudo

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Control: affects -1 + src:rakudo


Dear release team,

We would like to start the transition for rakudo, updating rakudo
to the latest version in unstable.

It involves three packages, src:moarvm, src:nqp, and src:rakudo.
They are built successfully in experimental. The s390x buildd is
super slow this week -- I waited for a week and it has not started
a build yet.... All other architectures look good.

This upload also aims to trigger rebuild for all reverse dependencies
to mitigate some issues about the compiler ID.

Specifically, the pre-compiled cache shipped in reverse dependencies
relies on a matching compiler ID. Hence, we added the compiler ID into the
virtual package to ensure cache compatibility: raku-api-2022.12+e556a5c0
The compiler ID will change when code is modified.

Albeit adding the compiler ID may not sound like an ideal solution,
this seems like what we can do before the freeze.
