Unable to install with zef or Panda

[jnthn]

Thanks for working on this module. I just tried to install it; with panda it fails as:

Failure Summary
----------------
Archive::Libarchive(
	*fetch stage failed for Archive::Libarchive::Raw: Unable to handle source 'https://github.com/frithnanth/perl6-Archive-Libarchive-Raw')
jnthn@lviv:~/edument/rmtly$ panda install Archive::Libarchive::Raw
==> Fetching Archive::Libarchive::Raw
fetch stage failed for Archive::Libarchive::Raw: Unable to handle source 'https://github.com/frithnanth/perl6-Archive-Libarchive-Raw'

And with zef a bit differently:

===> Searching for: Archive::Libarchive
===> Searching for missing dependencies: Archive::Libarchive::Raw
===> Fetching: Archive::Libarchive
No extracting backend available
  in method extract at /home/jnthn/dev/MoarVM/install/share/perl6/site/sources/F94CA4E91B2AF324B8A925E1F065F40258AE4D90 (Zef::Extract) line 8

At a guess, something is not quite right in the META.info for this module and/or its dependency, Archive::Libarchive::Raw.

Thank you for your report. I'm clueless about the origin of the problem: the META6.json file passes the Test::META tests. I've just tried to check other META files on github and the only difference I found is that I'm using an https:// source-url, where others used a git:// protocol. I changed that line to no avail. Another possibility is the "version" : "*" line, that I shamelessly copied from some example. I see that other projects have a real version number instead of an asterisk. Do you think that might be a problem? Anyway, I see that even zef search Archive::Libarchive returns ===> Found 0 results so, it seems that the problem is quite deep. I took a look at https://modules.perl6.org/update.log and I see no errors; I can't understand why zef can't find the module. Any idea?

Hello, Now I'm able to install the module using panda, even if right after I modified the META6.json file it wouldn't work. Perhaps I had to wait the next run of the index generation program (I see from here https://modules.perl6.org/update.log that runs hourly). Anyway, now "panda search Archive::Libarchive" runs fine, while "zef search Archive::Libarchive" still returns "===> Found 0 results". So far I installed the modules from my working directory (I issued the pull request on the ecosystem just yesterday), but now I can "panda install" straight from the ecosystem. Still no luck with zef. On Mon, Jan 9, 2017 at 5:44 PM, Fernando Santagata < nando.santagata@gmail.com> wrote:

Confirm it works with panda now after panda update. Thanks!
