Heh, if we can actually start thinking about this I think the QA project is going well. It was just <<counts on fingers>> seven months ago that we discovered a little over 1/3 of the whole distribution is untested and started this in earnest. http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2001-04/msg01218.html Not a bad run. > Now, "Having stuff in t/*" is probably better than nothing at all, and > I'm not saying otherwise.

My webmaster has been flipping setuid bits, which is good, but he forgets to tell me, which is bad. If anyone wants to take the QA Wiki off my hands, please do. I looked at setting it up on Swiki.net but never got around to it. > I don't know enough about CPAN to say, but is there any way we can watch > the list of bugs and fixes to make sure we follow up with tests when the > individual authors don't? rt.cpan.org just got set up for just such bug tracking, but it's just starting. There's also bugs.perl.org for core bugs, there's a lot of digging through that which needs to be done. -- Michael G.
