#1869: Move Parrot::Embed into it's own repo
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: whiteknight | Owner: whiteknight
Type: deprecation | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 2.11
Component: Parrot::Interpreter | Version: master
Severity: medium | Keywords:
Lang: | Patch:
Platform: all |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
The Parrot::Embed module for Perl5 is included in the main Parrot
repository. There are some advantages to this in terms of proximity and
testing. However, I think it should be moved out into it's own repository.
I suggest this for several reasons:
- More visibility for it, if it were a top-level project of it's own
- It would be less likely to be lost in the shuffle from being wedged
into the repo of a larger project
- There would be more symmetry with other Perl5 modules on CPAN, which
are their own repos
I suggest we move the Parrot::Embed code out into a repo at
github.com/parrot/Parrot-Embed, and set it up with all the necessary
infrastructure (it's own tests/harness, it's own section on smolder for
reports, etc).
I mentioned this idea yesterday at #parrotsketch and got unanimous support
for it. We can keep snapshots of it in the ext/ folder of the Parrot repo,
to avoid issues with deprecations.
