Toolchain is an even looser collection of people than p5p; unlike p5p it's more of an archipelago of projects than a continent. Any kind of exhaustive discussion is difficult to achieve before the toolchain summit (formerly known as the QA Hackathon), and inconveniently that is scheduled later than ever this year (mid-May). The toolchain organizational infrastructure is not adapted to having to reach any conclusion with a deadline. I may have missed some of the discussion on IRC, but I haven't seen a discussion on a number of questions, including but not limited to: * Would we want to include this forever? If not, until when? * Should this thing warn? * What are the consequences of this inc::Module::Install being different from the CPAN one? What if they converged? * What to do about other modules that now break? * What does this mean for our policy on including/ejecting modules? Some of these questions are toolchain, some p5p, some both. All of them need answers though. LeonThread Previous | Thread Next
