in thread Perl6 - Distribution builder/installer

The reason I mentioned sourceforge is that a lot of modules are hosted there, which means that any solution that discusses that type of thing has to take SF into account.

SVK, btw, is a wrapper around SVN, so yes they can talk together.

As for P6 and multiple VMs - there's no reason why it can't. The P6 compiler will emit PIR, but that doesn't prevent another VM that understands PIR. There's at least three JVMs and two .NET VMs that I know of ...

    Not strictly true I'm afraid. SVK uses the Subversion file system, but isn't really compatible with svn clients in all instances. See the SVK FAQ for details.
