I think most of the criticism is due to the fact that submodules are not what people expect them to be. People tend to be deterred by the fact that every time you update a submodule you need to commit to the parent. > So we'd need to host clones for each dual-life module ? (That's not a > problem but I just want to make it clearer) Yes, otherwise instead of one point of failure for getting the code we have as many failure points as there are module maintainers. Obviously they could be just mirrors though (so e.g. if I push to my github version of Tie::RefHash and request integration to core, the perl.git committer could update the perl5.git.perl.org mirror of my .git, and then update that in the submodule).Thread Previous | Thread Next
