Versions of Rakudo packed with different common "upstream" Linux distributions

Recommended Rakudo Releases for CI

Based on the data in the other files of this gist, I recommend:

  • If using the zef/fez ecosystem at all, test on at least 2021.02, 2022.02, and latest
  • If using ONLY other ecosystems, test on at least 2020.07, 2020.12, 2021.02, 2022.02, and latest

Key Releases

The following Rakudo releases are "key releases" in the sense that multiple distro versions all use the same Rakudo version, or it's the most popular version on a heavily-used package site (such as Docker Hub):
