Currently rakudo supports two install locations​: lib and site/lib. These should be switched the other way around, otherwise one can't upgrade a module shipped with rakudo without overwriting the original.

Agree, for the reasons that Perl 5 made this switch.

In the short term, it avoids problems with "shadowing" vs needing to overwrite
the master copy (which upsets inferior package managers)

In the long term doing "site" first also provides a way for Star to phase out
shipping superceded modules.

It looks like 'perl6/site/lib' comes before 'perl6/lib' now​:

  ➜ .say for $*REPO.repo-chain;
  inst#/home/smls/.perl6
  inst#/home/smls/.rakudobrew/moar-blead-nom/install/share/perl6/site
  inst#/home/smls/.rakudobrew/moar-blead-nom/install/share/perl6/vendor
  inst#/home/smls/.rakudobrew/moar-blead-nom/install/share/perl6
  CompUnit​::Repository​::AbsolutePath.new(next-repo => CompUnit​::Repository​::NQP.new(next-repo => CompUnit​::Repository​::Perl5.new(next-repo => CompUnit​::Repository)))
  CompUnit​::Repository​::NQP.new(next-repo => CompUnit​::Repository​::Perl5.new(next-repo => CompUnit​::Repository))
  CompUnit​::Repository​::Perl5.new(next-repo => CompUnit​::Repository)

Can this ticket be closed?
Do we need a Roast test for this?
