I indent to maintain a new package rakudo-star, which is a small addon to rakudo (aka perl6 on parrot). 387KB binary, 5MB src
Packages are here: http://rurban.xarch.at/software/cygwin/release/parrot/rakudo/ and http://rurban.xarch.at/software/cygwin/release/parrot/rakudo-star/ and on sourceware in my dir. (parrot, parrot-devel, parrot-docs, rakudo, rakudo-star)
Since I'm the first (in close contact with the developers) I need 5 votes. The other distros: slackware and fedora are "almost" ready, but not yet. debian is a bit behind at all.

The announce: On behalf of the Rakudo and Perl 6 development teams, I'm happy to announce the July 2010 release of "Rakudo Star", a useful and usable distribution of Perl 6. The tarball for the July 2010 release is available from <http://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads>.
Rakudo Star is aimed at "early adopters" of Perl 6. We know that it still has some bugs, it is far slower than it ought to be, and there are some advanced pieces of the Perl 6 language specification that aren't implemented yet. But Rakudo Perl 6 in its current form is also proving to be viable (and fun) for developing applications and exploring a great new language. These "Star" releases are intended to make Perl 6 more widely available to programmers, grow the Perl 6 codebase, and gain additional end-user feedback about the Perl 6 language and Rakudo's implementation of it.
In the Perl 6 world, we make a distinction between the language ("Perl 6") and specific implementations of the language such as "Rakudo Perl". "Rakudo Star" is a distribution that includes release #31 of the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler [1], version 2.6.0 of the Parrot Virtual Machine [2], and various modules, documentation, and other resources collected from the Perl 6 community. We plan to make Rakudo Star releases on a monthly schedule, with occasional special releases in response to important bugfixes or changes. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/
