Sum

[AlexDaniel]

Module Sum is failing its tests and/or does not install.

• Please close this issue only if the module passes its tests and is installable. One way to test it is to run zef install MODULENAME.
• If you can install the module without any problems, label this ticket with works for me and close the issue.
• If it needs a native library, put native dependency label, describe what you did to install it and ensure that same instructions are present in the README file of the module (otherwise submit a pull request). If everything is green you can close the issue.
• If the module is broken, try to fix it and send a PR. Add PR sent label and close the issue.
• If there is a problem in one of the dependencies, add failing dependency label and write a comment explaining the situation. Leave this ticket open and feel free to work on the corresponding ticket for the failing dependency.
• It is a good idea to assign yourself to this ticket if you're working on it (to make sure two or more people are not working on the same ticket at the same time).

If you can't self-assign, attach a label, or close the ticket, please let us know on #perl6 channel on freenode or just leave a comment here. We will try to give you privileges as fast as possible.

From the Status:

Very broken at the moment, to the point where API may have to change. Changes made right before the 6.c release have left an important API decision up in the air -- that being whether a feed tap has .push or .append called on it. The API of Sum depends on this -- the only reaon it was using .push was to match this feed API. If .append is to continue to be called, Sum will change API to suit. Unfortunately it does not look to be the case that this will be resolved anytime soon.

Changed label to "rakudobug" since this is really dependent on a design decision, and it has a ticket for that: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=126819

OK, in terms of this repo we can't do more than that.
