In an attempt to fix things in preparation for 0.34, I've been hacking away at the uncategorized and important bugs in the RT queue as well as closing several others I knew were resolved, but there are still a lot of stale bug reports that make it hard to figure out what really needs work.
Here's how you can help: * Go to https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=Module-Build * Click on the "Severity" header to sort by severity * Pick *ONE* bug of Normal severity If you don't see one you like, pick one randomly. Find a bug number with a final digit that matches the last digit of your birth year. Or roll a d10. Whatever. Just pick ONE. * Figure out if the bug still exists based on the code in the repository trunk http://svn.perl.org/modules/Module-Build/trunk/ * Update the ticket with your findings In particular, if you think the severity can be lowered, please indicate that. I would generally say that "Normal" bugs would be functional, whereas documentation gaps could be marked down to "Unimportant" and new feature requests should be "Wishlist". If a ticket is waiting for feedback from the reporter or waiting for some other module to be fixed, please indicate it needs to be marked "stalled". If you're feeling particularly inspired, write a patch. Or even just write a test to confirm the bug. Anything helps. Thanks very much! -- David
