Presumably, yes. Not that any of the SQL::Abstract developers were consulted as to whether that was necessary, but it is what it is. > Is there a roadmap for updating it? Long-term plans? etc There is a dev release towards verion 2.0 here: https://metacpan.org/release/MSTROUT/SQL-Abstract-1.90_03 I'd love to hear about people's experiences using it (see the ::Reference POD for a lower level idea of the new implementation). I was originally planning to release a separate SQL::Abstract2 to begin with, but given the unannounced fork and the fact that every downstream maintainer other than Peter Rabbitson has been actively co-operating with ensuring compatibility is preserved, I'm not sure there's much point now. For the moment, I'd ask that people wanting to test it install the last pre-unexpected-fork version of DBIx::Class and the dev release and play around - I'd really quite like to get some feedback before committing to the idea that it *is* compatible, especially given I have to rely on the DBIx::Class userbase alone to determine this. When I have a minute, I'll check into how to make the real SQL::Abstract work with the new DBIC release, and will report back to the list once I do. -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our CPAN commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team. _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.grokbase.com/group/dbix-class@lists.scsys.co.uk
