Once Thrift 0.11.0 is complete and released, I will build it and upload it to CPAN. I have a question however about how we manage the official releases to third party packagers... I believe there is likely to be one per language at this point, but I'm not certain as a project we take any official capacity to upload and maintain an official package to these. For example there's node.js npm, and there's perl CPAN, and there rust cargo.
Should the official build process for Thrift also include creation and dissemination of official third party package manager releases? Should the "dist" CI build produce these so we can take them directly from the CI system, or perhaps mark them as artifacts that need to be captured on a specially named branch (like release/), such that any build on that branch would build and capture third party package manager artifacts for dissemination? Thanks, - Jim
