I'm wondering whether we should support releases of 5.9.x line or just support the bleading edge moving target? Let's admit it, chances are that hardly anybody is going to use 5.9.0 which Hugo has released recently. If we do support 5.9.0 we need to apply some changes to mp2, without which it won't comply. But these changes already don't apply for 5.9.0+ (current patch level).
In which way the support for 5.9.0 is different from the support for 5.8.1 ?
5.9.0 == 5.8.2-RC1 hashing-wise. meaning that we need to support a whole bunch of special cases, which don't exist anywhere else. We certainly can do that, but it's just a lot of mess. I wish Hugo didn't rush to get 5.9.0 before 5.8.2 was ready. Now 5.9.0 is somewhat between 5.8.1 and 5.8.2.
(I know at least one person who is considering at least semi-seriously running 5.9.0 + mp1 in production :-p)
well, please tell me if we should provide a support for it.
So we should either say that we support the latest blead patch level, or we do support 5.9.x releases and drop this support once 5.10.0 is released.
I think that supporting blead is the way to go. That way you keep up with the blead changes and can continue giving useful advice to p5p :)
blead yes, I didn't suggest not to support blead, I meant to suggest not to support particular blead releases but just the head ;)
BTW, just finishing smoking 5.6.2 plays very nice with both mod_perl generations.
