Bryan C. Warnock: # Is there any reason why we couldn't break up configure (when # it comes into # being) into chunks? # # The last 5.7.2 grab I have puts the current one at 17.5 Klines. It's # weighty, a beast to maintain, and a beast to keep running # through (should # something break halfway.) # # Something structured more akin to the t/ directories would be # easier to # maintain, allow us to bootstrap better (config a little, # build a little, # config a little, etc.), and maybe reconfigure sections # without the whole kit # and kaboodle.
I have no idea how many times this has been suggested. :^) Seriously, the only problem I can see with it is that the modules will have to be run in a specific order. If you can figure out a nice way to break things up and make them run in an order we define without too much messiness, let me know. (Just don't work *too* hard on it--this Configure won't be like the final Configure.) --Brent Dax [EMAIL PROTECTED] Configure pumpking for Perl 6 "Nothing important happened today." --George III of England's diary entry for 4-Jul-1776
