Hi,
Recent discussions - both on the mailing lists and through private mail -
show that people still find it hard (or even very hard) to get and install
the right dependencies.
While it is a much lower burden for us to share code with other projects
where possible, and hence for developers there's a lot to be gained by
having dependencies (versus incorporating all that code in our codebase and
having to maintain it), I do see how they increase complexity for our
users/admins.
My thinking is that we can help admins by providing a tarball with all the
required and optional dependencies which are known to work with LedgerSMB
(and each other!). That would remove the need for admins installing LSMB to
go out to CPAN.
How do others feel about providing such a deps-tarball? Would it help solve
the dependencies issue? Does anybody have experience doing so for a Perl
project (I have experience for a C project, but that's a different matter
entirely)?
