A few initial comments mixed in below. After doing some testing with my own revision of the third version of this patch against blead, I belatedly realized that much of it has already been applied to the development stream of Module::Build, available via: % svn co http://svn.perl.org/modules/Module-Build/trunk mb which is rather far out of synch with blead. Then there is a separate branch of Module::Build that was made up to match what shipped with 5.10: % svn co http://svn.perl.org/modules/Module-Build/branches/perl-5.10 mb510 This second branch is fairly close to blead, though there are some differences in the pod and tests. So we have a three-way merge on our hands, or maybe "only" two-way if we assume blead has everything the 5.10 branch of M::B has plus a little bit more. I think it's important that we not apply any more patches for M::B to blead until we get things synched up -- the merge will just get worse if we put it off. Ken, how can I help?Thread Previous | Thread Next
