I'm sorry, I'm a perfectionist. If I see something wrong, I don't
necessarily
hide things like most people. The quality of P hasn't been a major
problem. You
can check the bug reports and find that there as a spate of them a month
ago when
some people first looked at it, and all but a few "opinion" doc bugs
have been fixed.
Almost half were critical bugs, like "extra space after period"...
Real serious
quality issues! Some were real and you can see how I marked them -- I
marked
the serious and important ones such, and tried to handle the ones lower
than normal
delicately.
People on here would do well to read how I handled the bug reports.
It's interesting how
people out in the world think that releasing early and releasing often
-- a motto of open
source, think that is some reflection on quality. I get to a point
where my stuff is better
than 90+% of the stuff out there because I am willing to make mistakes
and fix them and
usually do so faster than most.
What you are intimating as a defect, is my strength. If you haven't
noticed, I tend
not to give up easily. That bothers people. As for test failures --
they've all come from
3 people. -- with over 60% coming from 1 person. The other two are on
Win2k or winXP --
not sure which, and while I will get to that, if possible, Windows is
it's own special case.
The other testor who owns 60% of the failures tests on tons of different
versions but
in a way that makes it hard to invoke the perl version he is using last
attempt was
using $Config of the running perl to determine the executable to use --
suggested
by the tester's wiki but I didn't get the args right. Maybe I'll
someday have such a test
setup at my disposal, but until then...
I'd say the record of my 1st release from 1.0.12-1.0.20 was fairly
good. The PASS ratio of 'mem.pm' is even better, showing 61/61 passes
in the lst 3 releases. All of the failures since
the second release have had to do with the test harness. Do you think I
feel responsible for
those? I don't. They happen because having worked in QA for years
doing test automation,
they don't act like any test harness I'm used to. Unfamiliarity isn't a
big issue. I'm unfamiliar with most knowledge in the world. Anyone
thinks differently hasn't been around much.
So the wonderful writeup I got of P, made me quite happy. It means I'm
doing something
right -- i.e. if no one took the time to say anything, I wouldn't know
they cared.
