It didn't happen before YAPC, unfortunately, but here's an update to 0.6.3:

http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/parrot/parrot.spec
http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/parrot-0.6.3-1.src.rpm

Trying to install the parrot-lua package gives this error:

error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(Parrot::Test) is needed by parrot-lua-0.6.3-1.fc9.x86_64

Parrot::Test is included with parrot, but doesn't seem to get install with any
of the sub-packages, so I need to check on that.

The good news is that we now have a working "perl6" in the rakudo package:

$ perl6 -v
This is Rakudo Perl 6, revision 0 built on parrot 0.6.3
for x86_64-linux-thread-multi.

Copyright 2006-2008, The Perl Foundation.

$ perl6 -e 'say "Hello"'
Hello
$ perl6 -e '"Hello".say'
Segmentation fault      <- needs a bug report filed  :-)
$ perl6 -e '"Hello".say;'
Hello

I'm a little torn on what version numbers to use for the various sub-packages. 
A lot of the languages have a 0.1.0 version number on them somewhere, but that
doesn't seem to change often (if at all), which would make versioning for
upgrades awkward.  If the situation ever changes, I guess we can always add an
Epoch to those packages.

So I have *not* tried to build this in mock, and I know rpmlint complains about
a lot of things.  Reporting failures isn't helpful (yet), but patches are.
