Currently in Rakudo * 2014.12.1 The @*INC order looks like this:

$ perl6

@*INC.perl

Array.new(CompUnitRepo.new('file:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/lib'),
CompUnitRepo.new('file:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/site/lib'),
CompUnitRepo.new('inst:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6'),
CompUnitRepo.new('inst:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/site'))

and Bailador.pm can be found in
/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1//install/languages/perl6/lib/Bailador.pm

After installing a new version of Bailador using

panda install .

the new file was placed in

/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1//install/languages/perl6/site/lib/Bailador.pm

but that means, if I "use Bailador" it will find the old version.

I think both 'site' directories should be *before* the respective other
directory.

and Bailador.pm can be found in
/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1//install/languages/perl6/lib/Bailador.pm

How did that get there (originally) ??? This feels like a “personal” install to me, which would have a higher precedence than a “site” install.

After installing a new version of Bailador using

panda install .

the new file was placed in

/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1//install/languages/perl6/site/lib/Bailador.pm

but that means, if I "use Bailador" it will find the old version.

Indeed. Question is (to me): how did the original one get there?

I think both 'site' directories should be *before* the respective other
directory.

This can be easily fixed. But I’m not sure it’s the right solution :-(

From @szabgab

If I recall correctly in Perl 5 the resolution was that the directories in
@INC are ordered
site, vendor, system

I am not sure about Perl 6, but with the above layout I think system would
hold the modules of Rakudo.
vendor would hold the modules of Rakudo Star and site would hold the stuff
that I install myself
using Panda or otherwise.

I ran some experiments from scratch in two ways: (with and without giving
--prefix)
using Rakudo Star 2014.12.1 Source code version and built it on OSX.
I hope these help and I have not just spent time on something that was
already obvious
to everyone else.

1) perl Configure.pl --backends=moar --gen-moar --prefix=/home/gabor/rakudo
make; make install

$ ~/rakudo/bin/perl6 -e 'say @*INC'
file:/home/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6/lib
inst:/home/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6

$ find /Users/gabor/rakudo -name Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6/lib/Bailador.pm

$ ~/rakudo/bin/perl6 /Users/gabor/rakudo/bin/panda
Found no writable directory into which panda could be installed
in sub make-default-ecosystem at
/home/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6/lib/Panda/App.pm:18
in block <unit> at /Users/gabor/rakudo/bin/panda:11

$ ~/rakudo/bin/perl6 -e 'say @*INC'
inst:/Users/gabor/.perl6/2014.12
file:/home/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6/lib
inst:/home/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6
inst:/home/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6/site

******* So by running panda I got some more entries in @*INC

$ ~/rakudo/bin/perl6 /Users/gabor/rakudo/bin/panda install Bailador
....

$ find /Users/gabor/rakudo -name Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6/lib/Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo/languages/perl6/site/lib/Bailador.pm

****** panda installs Bailador in the site dir which comes after the
regular

1) perl Configure.pl --backends=moar --gen-moar
make; make install

$ perl6 -e 'say @*INC'

file:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/lib
inst:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6
inst:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/site

******** has a different @*INC than what I had when I built it with
--prefix. This one already has a site directory

$ find /Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1 -name Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/lib/Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/modules/Bailador/lib/Bailador.pm

****** as I understand the one in the modules directory came with the
source code of Rakudo * and the one in the install is the installed version
of it.

$ ~/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/bin/perl6
~/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/bin/panda install Bailador
...

$ perl6 -e 'say @*INC'

file:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/lib
file:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/site/lib
inst:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6
inst:/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/site

****** by installing Bailador, the @*INC was changed

$ find /Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1 -name Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/lib/Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/install/languages/perl6/site/lib/Bailador.pm
/Users/gabor/rakudo-star-2014.12.1/modules/Bailador/lib/Bailador.pm

***** and now I have a third copy of Bailador.pm

From @smls

@*INC no longer exists.

Also, 'perl6/site' seems to be pretty early in the repo chain 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?
