Re: Confirming PAUSE operating model safe harbor for Alt::* distributions

n't > think we should mandate a convention of "Alt::*". Agree. I believe that conveying intent through the name is imperative only when the protection of users at install time is too weak – as it has been in Ingy’s conception of the Alt:: concept.

Re: No . in @INC breaks CPAN

we feel too great about doing a bit and punting on anything more difficult just because most other communities barely even try addressing this at all. With this particular change we’re in a different quantitative breakage league than usually. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>

Re: Why do we keep using META.json for stuff that has nothing to do with installation

” metadata is annoying. But that’s the only way that it makes sense to separate the data into different files. [^1]: I don’t like `META.meta`. :-) Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>

Re: Should Test2 maintain $! and $@?

Re: Perl-toolchain-gang -- using devel branches rather than master

would advocate against retaining the old nomenclature – despite the need to rewrite docs and some of the tooling (which would be needing adjustment for Git anyhow). Even with the migration being long past, I still contemplate advocating a switch to `master` every now and then. Regards, -- Aristotle

Re: On Not Merging new and old behavior ( was Re: Test-Stream + MongoDB scalar refcount issue )

both sets of tests. This makes it natural from the maintainer’s perspective. And if the versions of the plugin need to diverge, from the perspective of the CPAN index, that transition to separate codebases is invisible. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // http://plasmasturm.org/

Re: Lancaster Consensus, deal with PUREPERL_ONLY=0

using pure Perl (Moose, for example), then surely the right thing to is simply refuse to install on PP systems? Eg. LMU - you cannot split out LMU::XS for historical reasons. how come? Is there a technical difficulty with that? What prevents it? Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // http
