I was not aware that Timo had updated the repo. I wonder if an upload was expected.

Anyway, there's an issue with the current state of moarvm repo: the commit "New upstream version 2026.02+dfsg" is not a merge commit and this makes the debian vs upstream changes hard to follow.

Timo, I propose to fix this by reworking the history of this repo. Is this fine with you ?

Next steps:
- update existing packages that need it (see https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-rakudo-devel%40lists.alioth.debian.org)
- create package for raku module shipped by rakudo-star not found in Debian ( https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianRakudoGroup/RakudoStarModules )

You should sync with Timo. I'll review and upload packages when needed. Please ping me as I don't monitor raku repositories on salsa.

Marc, I'm fine with the content of your patch. However, I'd rather deal with MR on salsa than handling patches by mail.
Do you have an account on salsa ? 

BTW, this page may help getting up to speed: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianRakudoGroup

All the best.
