[Gmod-tripal-devel] Chado 1.4

[Scott C. <sc...@sc...>]

Hi All,

So I'm thinking having Chado 1.4 out for PAG would be a good idea, and
since it feels like I devote about a day month to thinking about Chado,
it's about time to really get started.  So, starting with the current
status, there are 4 pull requests outstanding:

  https://github.com/GMOD/Chado/pulls

(I just pulled a few others that I was pretty confident in.)  These four
seem pretty reasonable to me, but I'll leave them out for a little while,
as we work through the issues.  There are 24 open issues with the tag
"Chado 1.4 suggestion":


https://github.com/GMOD/Chado/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Chado+1.4+Suggestion%22

most of which have several comments and several have some code.

My primary tasks for the 1.4 release is rewriting the build and
installation code.  I think the installation code will remain
Makefile.PL-based, but it could certainly be modernized.  The build code
will probably require a fair amount of reworking so that we can get away
from the perl-Tk code which is quite the albatross when it comes to
building releases.

So, does anybody have any other issues that should be considered for a 1.4
release?

Thanks,
Scott
