Package: parrot Version: 2.6.0-1 Severity: normal Calling the Configure.pl script for Rakudo with parrot 2.6.0 installed gives me this error message:
,---- | $ perl Configure.pl | | Reading configuration information from parrot_config ... | ===SORRY!=== | Parrot revision r48225 required (currently r0) | | To automatically checkout (svn) and build a copy of parrot r48225, | try re-running Configure.pl with the '--gen-parrot' option. | Or, use the '--parrot-config' option to explicitly specify | the location of parrot_config to be used to build Rakudo Perl. `---- For Rakudo, I used a fresh checkout from the git repository, not the "Star" (2010.07) release. It seems that the revision that goes into the output generated by "parrot_config --dump" is detected at build time from svn or git-svn output. This happens in Parrot::Revision which is called from the auto::revision config module. Since the Parrot Debian package is not built from a SVN checkout, there is no revision entry. However, since releases are going to be identical to the checkout of a particular revision it would IMO be a good idea to provide this information to the Parrot configuration script by some other means.
