My goal was to wrap up the pdd15oo branch by the end of September. We're
quite close. The two remaining big things are PGE and multiple dispatch,
and then test cleanup. Thanks to chromatic and particle for their work
on the tests.
I've been giving chromatic small tasks to work on, which seems to be a
good way of breaking out the load. Here are a few anyone could tackle:
- Pick a directory and grep (or ack) for 'find_type'. It was a common
idiom in the old object system that doesn't work any more. Change:
$IX = find_type "ClassName"
$PX = new $IX
to:
$PX = new "ClassName"
- Run 'make test' and fix the failures in the t/codingstd/ tests.
(Comment out all the lines in the Makefile that have 'pge', 'tge',
'pct', or 'past-pm' in them to skip past the failing PGE compile. Or,
just run prove t/codingstd/*.t.)
- Same for t/distro/file_metadata.t.
- Pick one of the failing t/examples/ tests and update the code to use
the new metamodel.
