• Where is "Parrot::Configure::Compiler"? (Score:2)

  Here's my attempt.

  Checked out revision 24297.
  parrot $ cd parrot
  parrot $ perl Configure.pl
  Base class package "Parrot::Configure::Compiler" is empty.
      (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.)
  at lib/Parrot/Configure.pm line 44
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at lib/Parrot/Configure.pm line 44.
  Compilation failed in require at Configure.pl line 299.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Configure.pl line 299.
  parrot $ find . -name Compiler.pm

    It looks like one of the configuration system branch merges missed a file, so until Jim can fix it, try r24278; that's one I know is good.

      This kind of remark is exactly the sort of reason why it is a good idea to ditch Subversion and move to a decent Source Control Management system. Producing a stable branch with Subversion is not common practice, because the tools make it hard and do not support every stage of the process.

        What would you recommend as a "decent" SCM system?

          I have in the past recommended several [oreillynet.com].

          However I think of those three git is the right one to standardize on for a repository format, as it's the most efficient for that and all the other tools can work well with it. It's also the simplest to understand, with a model sporting only four basic types - files, directories, commits and tags. The representation of this in Perl6 is delightfully small; I used it as a model example for my 2006 Moose Talk [utsl.gen.nz] at YAPC::Eu.
