Both perl6 executables (perl6-m and perl6-p) did not work on f21. I start working on it to solve the problem.

Comment 3 Gerd Pokorra 2015-01-22 08:24:09 UTC
As a quick solution you can install the scratch rebuild:

yum erase rakudo-star
wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8391/8698391/rakudo-star-0.0.2014.04_6.1.0-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm
yum localinstall rakudo-star-0.0.2014.04_6.1.0-1.fc21.x86_64.rpm


Next I will do this rebuild for the Fedora 21 repository.

Comment 6 Gerd Pokorra 2015-01-22 08:59:13 UTC
The reason why I did not already update to 2014.12 for MoarVM and rakudo-star is that MoarVM then needs as newer libuv, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1117992
But I will think of doing an update anyway and ask for an exception to bundle libuv.
