Hi,

I just rewrote my oldest module(s) DateTime::Util::Calc and
DateTime::Util::Astro
using XS. These modules are the founding blocks for my other astronomical
calendars (like DateTime::Calendar::Chinese), and this XS-zation significantly
speeds up the calculation as well as fixing some bugs that were present in
the distributions.

   http://github.com/lestrrat/DateTime-Event-Chinese
   http://github.com/lestrrat/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese

During the course of the rewrite I've deprecated a few modules, and
came to the conclusion that I want to rename DateTime-Util-Astro dist
to DateTime-Astro.
This means using a second level namespace, so I thought I'd better at least
ask/announce this fact.

Currently the only module in the DateTime-Astro namespace is
DateTime::Astro::Sunrise.
I also plan to provide a pure perl implementation along with the XS,
so people w/o
a c compiler can at least "attempt" to use the calculation modules.


So is there anybody who is opposed to this change?
if I don't hear from anybody, I'm probably going to upload
DateTime-Astro by the end of
this month.

Let me know,
--d
