Introduction

The Development Dashboard is designed to answer two questions:

What's left to do to release perl6 to CPAN, as in perl-6.0.0.tar.gz?
What's been done so far?

We can't answer the question of "When will Perl 6 be done" without knowing what's left to do. This is a start.

In the mean time, here is the current roadmap:

https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/docs/ROADMAP

What's left to do (including in-progress work)?

Create a perl6 repository

perl6 is currently in the Parrot repository in languages/perl6/, but needs to become its own repository.

DistributionFormat

Language definition

Note: This is outside the control of perl6

`perl6`

package so that "perl6 foo.pl" (or some close facsimile) works
What command-line arguments are there?

`perl6doc`

What is the list of pages that will exist? Will it be the same as for perl5?
The Perl 5 Module Perl6::Doc is an atempt to collect and sort user docs.

`perl6bug`

Where do the bugs go? Is the queue set up for it?
Do we have just one perl6bug for all of the various implementations, or is each implementation simply need to provide its own?

Other utilities

Define what other utilities will be shipped.

cpan? cpanp?
dprofpp?

Will there even be a profiler?

corelist?
prove? This assumes there's a Test::Harness, no?

`AUTHORS`

Update with current names & addresses of people who worked on Perl 6

Manifest

What gets shipped with perl-6.0.0.tar.gz? What modules? What docs? What other programs?

May be a converger (gets defined right at the end)

Installer

Here are make targets that have to exist:

make
make test
make install

Test suite

Refactor suite to match synopsis organization
Review all tests for conformance with language specification
Verify spec coverage

Embedding tools

perl.h

Release perl6

Release RC1
Release perl6 as perl-6.0.0.tar.gz to CPAN

What's been done so far?

Language definition

Synopses

perl6

Compiler converted to use Parrot compiler tools

Test suite

Initial tests in pugs repository

Non-requirements

These features/milestones are explicitly not part of the ramp up to p6.0.0. They may happen on their own, but we will not delay the release of p6.0.0 if they have not been reached.

CP6AN exists
Most perl5 helper programs

h2xs
x2p/

Dev helper tools

emacs/ syntax highlighting
vim syntax highlighting

http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/util/perl6.vim (helpful but far from complete)

Specifically not part of perl6.0.0

Old perl5-specific files & directories
