-
- Harlan Stenn and I have been working on dist 3.0, which is the package
- containing metaconfig among other tools. It is currently in early alpha
- test: I have sent a release via e-mail to a dozen of people who needed
- it.
-
- If you wish to receive that early release, please drop me a note. I will
- be glad to send you around 13 mails of 50K each, and including you in
- my alpha-testers list to send you patches as I issue them (those will be
- working patches: they may fix some things and break others -- that's why
- it's still an alpha release).
-
- By the way, Harlan and I are really busy, not to mention Larry with perl 5.
- Volunteers to help the project are welcome...
-
- If you wish to work on dist 3.0, please send a note to:
-
- Harlan Stenn <harlan@mumps.pfcs.com>
- Raphael Manfredi <ram@eiffel.com>
-
- We'll see what we can do and how to coordinate the work. My goal would be
- to release dist 3.0 beta in June, but given my current workload, and my
- leaving the USA at the end of February (meaning finding a new job in
- France, good luck they say! :-), things are getting a little hectic...
