Here is what I think I am going to do in light of all this and a high level of cafeeine... Take Apache::Reload from mp2 as-is (it's 0.9), and mod_perl1-ify it. Dump it in mod_perl 1 Change it's version number to 0.8_1 so CPAN won't pick it up. Release 1.28 (eventually...) Then work on the added functionnality for Apache::Reload and solve all other issues of dependencies on B, ModPerl::Util::symbol_undef_code, etc. I don't want this issue to slow down the long-awaited release of 1.28. But at the same time , StatINC is quite old and users of mp1 should be 'motivated' to upgrade to Apache::Reload, so it makes sense to go in mp1 as well. Maybe for 1.29 we could even talk about deprecating/removing Apache::StatINC alltogether, for example. > Steve > > > > >I guess for now the simplest thing would be to _strictly_ backwards port > >Apache::Reload with no mp2 specific code in there, just so it can be > >shipped in 1.28, then in the 1.29-dev cycle, I can worry about getting > >it either on CPAN or synced between both mp1 and mp2, as per the ongoign > >discussion with you and Stas on the matter. > > > >So, if you feel you can whip up a complete patch within the next few > >days, go for it.
