The recent improvements to the Auto Upgrade Helper have made maintenance of meta-perl less effort and therefore you have seen an uptick in my updates to recipes. I also plan to mass-add ptest to all perl module recipes "sometime soon", which will further simplify my upgrade workflow and add to the confidence of said recipes. My upgrade workflow touches all recipes in oe-core, meta-oe and meta-perl that fit a lib*perl regex.
I will note, however, that we are revisiting meta-cpan and that may ultimately be the preferred perl layer. If you really heavily on perl modules, please comment on whether meta-cpan would fit your needs. Derek and others have been doing a great job keeping meta-python up to date. I mostly jump in when there are trickier failures that need more concentrated effort. I would like to see increased testing (more packages with ptest), but that is trickier with python recipes as there are many more approaches to testing than there are in perl. I am happy with the current efforts to keep recipes up to date as a priority. I would like to see complete coverage of python3 for all recipes that are capable in meta-python. I am open to discussion about what direction we go. Individual layers that are curated and built together by YP auto builders sounds like an intriguing path. If this was coupled with increased ptest or testimage usage, our confidence in layer quality would go up dramatically.
