If you did not see the message from Scott from earlier this month I'm forwarding to this mailing list. If you have input you'd like to provide for a v1.4 release of Chado please feel free to get involved! -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Gmod-tripal-devel] Chado 1.4 Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2018 16:47:29 -0400 From: Scott Cain <sc...@sc...> To: GMOD Schema/Chado List <gmo...@li...>, gmod tripal devel <gmo...@li...> 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 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott Cain, Ph.
