I'd like to see the "major" bugs on Sourceforge closed.
The bugs that I'd like to see fixed before the next release are:
- 1221742 (failure of some PDL tests with perl-5.8.7)
- 1465414 (lib64 version and lib paths)
- 1465864 (flexraw fails on Intel OS X with gfortran)
- 1497870 (limits_keyspecs.t fails Test::More 0.62 [related to
1221742?])
- 1497875 (limits_normalize_dsets.t faile Test::More 0.62 [related
to 1221742?])
- 1505171 (failure in MatrixOps::eigens in CVS)
- 1524150 (pdl constructor undefined behavior)
Three of those (the test failures) are probably related.
Eigens should almost certainly be replaced by a call into the GSL -
the reason I put SSL in there originally was to avoid dependence on
the GSL for a minimum install, but now nearly everyone has GSL.
You've pointed out already that it would be best replaced (or at
least augmented) by a suite of eigens-like calls, and I agree
wholeheartedly. To me the big decision is whether eigens should be
fixed for the long-overdue point release, or for the major release
that seems to be forthcoming.
The constructor is particularly disturbing to me as I can't seem to
reproduce it on my own systems:
perldl> print pdl(zeroes(100), ones(10))->flat

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
I have tried to use valgrind on perl and found it to be useless. It
seems to find so much to complain about that it throws up its hands
and gives up, before the perldl prompt even appears.
Cheers,
Craig

Just curious,
What is the criteria for the next version? Is there a list of bugs
to close, features to add?
