[Dbix-class] [Followup] Help needed to get a much needed feature into DBIC (low barrier to entry)

[Peter Rabbitson]

Followup to the channelge issued last week: 
http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/dbix-class/2014-January/011565.html

* There were several crucial clarifications (in this email thread)
most notably the last part of this message: 
http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/dbix-class/2014-January/011575.html

* We have one submission which however did not do anything wrt cleaning
up the existing code (more work pending):
https://github.com/gerhardj/dbix-class/commit/a10b896
https://github.com/gerhardj/dbix-class/commit/a10b896#commitcomment-5033957

* For those who cloned the repo and saw a passing test - I am a teapot.
The correct incantation is:

 git clone git://git.shadowcat.co.uk/dbsrgits/DBIx-Class.git dbic
 cd dbic
 git checkout topic/join-prefs                  # this was missed
 perl Makefile.PL --skip-author-deps
 make installdeps        # or make listdeps | cpanm
 cpan Test::Differences        # temporary dep to ease testing
 prove -l t/91merge_joinpref_attr.t


Despite the above snafu the response so far is exhilirating :) Let's
see what this week brings.

Cheers!
