- My 2.9-beta release of metaconfig is available on wuarchive.wustl.edu,
- in something like packages/dist/HMS-beta .
-
- I produced 2.9-beta from Larry Wall's 2.0 release, and Larry used an
- earlier version of 2.9-beta for the 4.0 release of Perl.
-
- Rafael Manfredi <ram@eiffel.com> is integrating my 2.9 beta release with
- his changes and some of Larry's changes, and should have a 3.0 release
- in a couple of months.
-
- My understanding is that Larry will have a few more changes to give us,
- and then take the result and use it for the 5.0 relase of Perl (but this
- is just a rumor, as I haven't spoken to Larry in many months).
-
- We're also interested in merging with the GNU autoconf effort, as long as
- the resulting "internal use" fragments do not require the software to be
- copylefted.
