From spidermario@free.fr

I am trying to package Rakudo 2015.12, and my build script runs​:

perl Configure.pl --prefix=/usr --backends=moar
make
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

where "$pkgdir" is the temporary location for all the files that are
going to be packaged.

This worked fine for 2015.11, but with 2015.12, it results in the
following output​:

./perl6-m tools/build/install-core-dist.pl
No writeable path found
  in block <unit> at tools/build/install-core-dist.pl line 12

If a previous version of Rakudo is already installed, "No writeable
path found" becomes "Failed to open file /usr/share/perl6/repo.lock​:
permission denied", so it seems that it tries to write to /usr
despite DESTDIR being passed to `make install`.

Is this still an issue after commit fb00ed3d71f9407a776c82f03855d1242997878c?

I'm closing this very old issue about rakudo-2015.12 now. I'm pretty sure that installing Rakudo using --prefix works nowadays. (If not we'd need a new issue over at https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo or https://github.com/rakudo/star.)
