From outdated to backports

[Marc Chantreux]

hello people,

Timo: I tried IRC but as always: having to backlog to get to the lines
related to the discussion is very borring to me so I come back to the
list.

I try to be involved in the process of keeping raku up to date
and available in backports.


What I did so far is

	set moarvm
	v=2026.01
	t=MoarVM-$v
	wget -o moarvm-$v.origin.tar.gz \
		https://www.moarvm.org/releases/$t.tar.gz &
	git clone --depth=1 https://salsa.debian.org/perl6-team/moarvm $t
	wait
	rm -rf $t/*
	tar xf $t.tar.gz
	cd $t
	dch -v
	dpkg-builpackage

This doesn't build because the patches doesn't apply anymore and
I don't even understand how far I am from good practices.

I ideally would like to peer package (or be driven by) with someone who
know the process to get the job done well (and I'ill document it so
any newcommer can reproduce what I'm trying to do right now).

if someone please give me a feedback and be directive about the next
steps, I'll be really appreciate that.

Regards.
