No it's not.  You don't know yet whether

a) the interface will change at all

b) a change will require a major version bump

The ideal time to do this is just before the first beta release.

There's already a version 1.9.0 (which is what this got changed to) out on
CPAN.  Who maintains this?

The CPAN I thought was DBI, while ours is old, right?  As far as I know,
we are the only maintainers for the non-DBI version.  Edmund is the DBI
maintainer, and I have asked if we can add the DBI version to CVS.

If there is a non-DBI version numbered 1.9.0 already, I have no idea
how.

Every interface changes in one way or another during a major development
cycle.

> b) a change will require a major version bump

That will be done when someone majorly breaks the API.  Uping the minor
number not doesn't prevent use from uping the major number later.

No.  interfaces/perl5 is a stand-alone Perl client library that is
unrelated (more or less anyway) to DBD/DBI.  DBI might be better,
but that doesn't necessarily mean we should abandon support for
the non-DBI library.

*Somebody* is maintaining it, because the version on CPAN is not the
same as ours.  (Which appears to be sufficient proof that there's
still interest in it...)

It would be good to get our copy back in sync with CPAN.

BTW, this is exactly what I was concerned about w.r.t. adopting the DBI
library into our CVS: if it drifts away from what's on CPAN then we
have a problem.

No, I wasn't suggesting we eliminate ours.  I was just thinking we
should have the DBD/DBI in there too.

Good point, and why don't we have those patches, and who is it?

> It would be good to get our copy back in sync with CPAN.

Yes!

We need the maintainers to give us patches or give them CVS access, if
the agree.  This is similar to how we moved ODBC into our tree.
