Why does any of that stop you from only using the dev Raku once
you've used the packaged Raku to install it?

You're right, I don't understand. Your use case sounds the same as
any I've had to accomplish with development versions of Perl,
Python, Ruby, Go, Rust etc for multiple decades now. I do not
understand why your situation, with Raku, is special in any way.

Perhaps it's some aspect of Raku that I don't understand, not being
familiar with that, so I should leave it to others who maybe do
understand that.

Best of luck!
Andy
