-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks,
5.18.0 needs a MakeMaker release in order to fix some hash order bugs. Fortunately, its all already been patched in, its just a matter of us putting out an alpha, testing it, and then putting out a stable. And I'm not doing it. Been doing it too long, I'm just getting in the way. I'd like somebody to step up and offer to do the next stable. To that end, I've written down how to do it as best I can. Here's how you make a release, in general. https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/wiki/How-To-Make-A-Release And here's the special considerations for a stable release. https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/wiki/How-To-Make-A-Stable-Release An alpha release isn't much different from releasing any other CPAN module. A stable release involves a bit more rigor, but that's mostly reading CPAN Testers. And I'll be happy to be available as a resource and answer questions and hold hands. So, who wants to make a MakeMaker release? - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ExtUtils::MakeMaker Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2013 10:38:29 -0500 From: Ricardo Signes <r...@cpan.org> To: Michael Schwern <schw...@pobox.com> Perl 5.18.0 is very likely to include improvements to hash traversal randomness. Right now, I believe the only part of the core left that has not been patched in blead is ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I see at https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/commits/master that you've merged the work from Yves Oton to fix the bugs made visible by the changes to perl. Can we expect a release of EUMM more or less immediately? If not, we'll apply these patches in blead and create a _0x version number, which I am really not eager to do. - -- rjbs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.18 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRQ7/qAAoJEJxzdbWzfct37rUH/RwHuCJcDdFydWoltV5tHVq4 Rfk17hCN7ZZP3Bsd2GQT/0xRqqcycck4JGeHmtypZTtzCv9Eg3wlK67uWDasCogV iSs/wHSyffx/25C0JKZ7Wjag1U//G+HLQSopTXnAf9PSmTM3o5eE46E/9DjcC29W cf0K+NqgWk0vjW1Ez+XzOSBwki0EKz68MJxOf5lgwvs1yIt/Qjm62WCPmMdZRuNd /WF2ojp+pCWD5Rat5rnpFricTQeUSEoJ7FF3y7fzpzVARRE1ujAgDOcACU0OgcC4 ibHcYjGZQFU1S3d6F6mYKigxiMpEkCm/yj+TTs/sL9Nn0E/SsP630C2PJfTALQ8= =umdv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
