Re: [Soaplite-devel] SOAP::Packager namespace

[MKUTTER <MK...@cp...>]

Hi Graham, hi Keith,

thanks for taking up this issue. There are some long-standing bug report
in SOAP::Lite's queues on RT and sf.net, and me and the other SOAP::Lite
developers are currently working towards cleaning up the namespace
issues in SOAP::Lite, which we hope to resolve by 0.73 (the current 0.71
uses the old names, and 0.72 will support both the "old" conflicting and
new names). We haven't set up dates yet, so all I have by now is some
vague "it'll take about a year until we reach 0.73" feeling.

I know people are still using the SOAP distribution, even though it
seems to be unmaintained since 2000, so I actually don't aim to take
over the complete namespace. However, I think that transferring some
single names like SOAP::Packager would help SOAP::Lite users to easily
find new versions until we've fixed things up.
