...but they *were* needed. The bottom line is that before those removals, Rakudo had a mysql database connection, and after, it doesn't. It seems to me that some kind of fundamental upstream-downstream relationship isn't being done very carefully in this case. Is there any way Rakudo Perl 6 application/module developers like me can advertise our dependencies on Parrot interfaces in order to get notified when they disappear? // Carl _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
