# from Eric Wilhelm # on Thursday 20 November 2008 13:13: >The few things which I can think of which might want some attention >before we start into the alpha phase again:
Let's see how we did: >1. I would like to see the Cookbook entry on Bundling get some >scrutiny. The recommendation of using --install_base $foo means that >you'll get "$foo/lib/perl5/Module/Build.pm" or other variously shaped >trees depending on your Config.pm. Should we just point to the >latest.pm here instead? Fail. I just added a reference to scripts/bundle.pl, but that section of the docs needs an edit. >2. Where are we on David's install_dirs work? Is there an RT ticket >for this? Fail. I reviewed the patch, proofed the pod, and applied it. I'm not particularly happy with the everything-is-a-subref, but whatever. >3. Are we ready to claim that we're META 1.4? > http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=37478 Fail. Apocalypse and I looked at this on irc today and determined that the only change since 1.2 was the addition of (optional) configure_requires, so we should be good to just bump it, but I forgot. >4. fakeinstall is busted? Schwern, can you elaborate on that or > should we put this in RT? Fail. I just added it to RT. >5. Help windows users create archives that pause will accept? > Archive::Tar->create_archive("$file.tar.gz", 1, grep {!-d $_} > @$files); http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39804 Win! Thanks to David Golden. I did get some other tickets closed, and went through the ones with no severity to set those. So, code freeze. Though I think we can safely slip the META 1.4 change and any doc updates into the release without invalidating the testers results. --Eric -- Minimum wage help gives you minimum service. --David Schomer --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
