November

[AlexDaniel]

Module November cannot be installed (Flapper), perhaps it has some failing tests.

• Tickets are opened/closed in this repo automatically (though not immediately).
• If you can install the module without any problems, add works for me label, leave a comment saying that it works for you and mention any details that you feel are important.
• If it needs a native library, put native dependency label, describe what you did to install it and ensure that same instructions are present in the README file of the module (otherwise submit a pull request). Also try to update this wiki page.
• If the module is broken, try to fix it and send a PR. Add PR sent label.
• If there is a problem in one of the dependencies, add failing dependency label and write a comment explaining the situation. Feel free to work on the corresponding ticket for the failing dependency.
• It is a good idea to assign yourself to this ticket if you're working on it (to make sure two or more people are not working on the same ticket at the same time).
• Once you are done, search for a next ticket.

If you can't self-assign yourself or attach a label, please let us know on #perl6 channel on freenode or just leave a comment here. We will try to give you privileges as fast as possible.

Actually, nevermind my labels. I just looked and it seems like there were some fixes in 2016. I assumed that the module was completely unusable, but maybe it is OK. It is skipped in Blin because apparently it eats memory like crazy, so that should be investigated and perhaps fixed.

[viklund]

I don't know how big the interest is in this module, apart from historical. I have some ideas to maybe fix it someday but since it's so long ago I actually did anything with this it would take quite some effort to get everything running. If there's an interest in having this working I could spend the time. Otherwise I think it it's ok to deprecate it. @masak might have some input here.

What @viklund said. It'd be a fun project to build a modern November (and shouldn't be all that hard with the modern Perl 6 web tools), but I'll leave it unsaid whether such an effort would choose to gradually improve what's already there, or start entirely from scratch.
