Chris,

Great work!

Now to press towards “splitting the iceberg”. I have a branch already that will make a PDL::Core release 2.010, which consists of the current Basic/ and Doc/. I am very keen to release PDL::Core 2.010, and then straight afterwards, PDL 2.010 which depends on PDL::Core 2.010, but still has all the other stuff still in. The reason is that a separated-out PDL::Core is the “minimum viable product” (in this case, minimal change to the existing distro), on which the next part (below) depends.

Obviously, we also need to make individual CPAN releases of all the currently-incorporated non-core modules. Each will need:
  1.. its own repo – I strongly suggest putting them on Github, set up with all the goodies that Zaki made happen for PDL, with Travis and the IRC notifications; 
  2.. the history moved over from the current PDL repo into that repo (I can do that once it’s set up, it’s straightforward enough); 
  3.. sufficient build-system munging to make them work as a standalone distro (I can take care of that, it’s easy with EUMM) 
  4.. someone to “own” it (defaulting to Chris, but if someone else is motivated to take it on, that surely will make Chris’s life easier) 
  5.. an actual CPAN release by whomever is the “owner”
If everyone is happy with this as a general concept, I can go ahead and make a list of all the individual new distros, and start executing points 2 & 3 for each of them. I’ll be asking Zaki for his expertise on point 1 for each. Zaki, will you feel like taking on release ownership of some of the distros?

The final step when this is all sorted, is to release “PDL” as just a small empty distro that has dependencies on PDL::Core plus all the split-out modules, for those who want to get the same as there is now, with the same CPAN command.

Best regards,
Ed
