[Module-build-general] Module::Build list inauguration

[Ken W. <ke...@ma...>]

Hello Module::Build list subscribers.

I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to on M::B development.

  1) I set up this mailing list (I suppose you've heard that already)

  2) I've added a couple features that will appear in the next 
release.  One is a programmatic interface to a module's 
prerequisite dependencies, which should help the CPANPLUS 
project.  Another is a pass-through Makefile.PL in the 
Module::Build distribution, which I believe to have only 
marginal benefit but it's been asked for several times.

  3) I'm trying to figure out the "proper" way to extract 
Module::Build from my personal CVS repository so I can put it on 
sourceforge.  Anyone know a good way to turn a directory from a 
CVS tree into its own repository, preserving the ability to see 
history information?  I thought it might be "cvs import", but 
apparently I don't understand what that means.

Version 0.11 should be out before too long.
