Why is PSIXDISTS excluded from modules.perl6.org's rsync?

Question

The script for retrieving all Perl 6 modules available on CPAN in modules.raku.org's DbBuilder.pm explicitly excludes any distributions from PSIXDISTS, even though there's a number of modules available in that namespace. What is the reason behind this?

Answer 1

PSIXDISTS was an early attempt to support Perl 6 modules on CPAN, by Matt Trout. See https://shadow.cat/blog/matt-s-trout/the-psixdists-experiment/ . Now that we have proper CPAN support for Perl 6 modules live, I think the project is in deep hibernation.
