2009-07-08 Andreas J. Koenig * from cpantesters-discuss 05:04:06 <@ST47> Hey 05:04:21 <@ST47> Anyone ever had a problem with the FTPstats.yml getting corrupted? 05:04:49 <@ST47> It keeps getting messed up and throwing a syntax error through YAML::Syck and throwing my smokers into a useless state 06:28:45 <@ST47> Probably ran out of disk space mid-write... 07:53:33 <@rafl> yeah, i've seen that. 2009-07-02 Andreas J. Koenig * Curtis Jewell reports failing tests that I overlooked on cpantesters. Seems to be that Expect-less systems fail some tests around push/pop on urllist??? http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/06/msg4356518.html Nope, I can remove Expect and still pass all tests. He is stuck in the test "urllist empty" and then gets the fail for the test "reordering urllist". Skipping the "urllist empty" test when no Expect is installed will most probably "fix" this. I mean, we're fixing a test, not code. Nope. Was a whitespace bug, FIXED. 2009-07-01 Andreas J. Koenig * amend version numbers and let Andy Armstrongs script care for them automatically. 1.9402 was delivered with 3 decreasing version numbers. How come? Status: Decreasing version number ================================= module: CPAN::Distribution version: 1.93 in file: CPAN-1.9402/lib/CPAN/Distribution.pm status: Not indexed because CPAN-1.9304/lib/CPAN.pm in A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.9304.tar.gz has a higher version number (1.9304) module: CPAN::Index version: 1.93 in file: CPAN-1.9402/lib/CPAN/Index.pm status: Not indexed because CPAN-1.9304/lib/CPAN.pm in A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.9304.tar.gz has a higher version number (1.9304) module: CPAN::LWP::UserAgent version: 1.00 in file: CPAN-1.9402/lib/CPAN/LWP/UserAgent.pm status: Not indexed because CPAN-1.9304/lib/CPAN.pm in A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.9304.tar.gz has a higher version number (1.9304) Something like perl-reversion -current 0.0.4 -set 0.0.5 lib/**/*.pm 2009-04-19 Andreas J. Koenig * Acme::Badexample ($VERSION = do { $_++ while 1; return $_ };) breaks us. Could not get a stable solution from BSD::Resource. The problem was that when running the r command after a while the number of $SIG{XCPU} interrupts increased until finally the shell ended itself. Probably a bug somewhere else. Giving up at this state: diff --git a/lib/CPAN/Module.pm b/lib/CPAN/Module.pm index f9520d9..92d53c9 100644 --- a/lib/CPAN/Module.pm +++ b/lib/CPAN/Module.pm @@ -652,9 +652,32 @@ sub available_version { #-> sub CPAN::Module::parse_version ; sub parse_version { my($self,$parsefile) = @_; + our($soft0,$hard0,$used0); + if (CPAN->has_usable("BSD::Resource")) { + ($used0) = BSD::Resource::getrusage(); + ($soft0,$hard0) = BSD::Resource::getrlimit(BSD::Resource::RLIMIT_CPU()) unless $soft0; + warn "used0[$used0]soft0[$soft0]hard0[$hard0]\n"; + my $success = BSD::Resource::setrlimit(BSD::Resource::RLIMIT_CPU(),int(3+$used0),$hard0); + if ($success) { + $SIG{XCPU} = sub { + my $sig = shift; + die +{ SIG => $sig}; + }; + } else { + $CPAN::Frontend->mywarn("Could not set limit\n"); + } + } my $have = eval { MM->parse_version($parsefile); }; if ($@) { - $CPAN::Frontend->mywarn("Error while parsing version number in file '$parsefile'\n"); + if (my $sig = $@->{SIG}) { + $CPAN::Frontend->mywarn("Signal $sig caught while parsing version number in file '$parsefile'\n"); + } else { + $CPAN::Frontend->mywarn("Error while parsing version number in file '$parsefile'\n"); + } + } + if ($soft0) { + BSD::Resource::setrlimit(BSD::Resource::RLIMIT_CPU(),$soft0,$hard0); + $SIG{XCPU} = 'IGNORE'; } my $leastsanity = eval { defined $have && length $have; }; $have = "undef" unless $leastsanity; Seems to be solved with a much simpler alarm call now but I had to choose a surprisingly high alarm value of 10.

Koenig * explicit option to prefer Archive::Tar over tar like suggested by https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33686? explicit option for suppress readline! while being at readline: improve the wording "available" versus what Schwern suggested in https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29862 2009-04-14 Andreas J. Koenig * reminder: Solaris tar cannot read tarballs with a path with more than 100 bytes. Wolfram re-reported it today. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=43813 was the first report. No, https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40843 MST suggested switching to tgz. Good idea. 2009-03-13 Andreas J. Koenig * git tags not exported. Why? Need to export the release tags. How? Do I actually have some? % git tag -l | tail 1.92_63 1.92_64 1.92_65 1.92_66 1.93 1.9301 1.9304 1.93_02 1.93_03 1.93_51 But on the re-imported clone it ends with 1.9301 git push --tags this is considered to dtrt. Can be checked visiting github and hovering over "all tags". According to http://blog.ashchan.com/archive/2008/06/30/tags-on-git/ at least. Problem with that is we have so many tags that we cannot scroll to the last in firefox. But indeed 'git push --tags' did work as expected and downloading to the the other box also 2009-03-13 Andreas J. Koenig * test YAML::XS and YAML::Perl. | | YAML::Syck | YAML::XS | YAML | YAML::Perl | YAML::Tiny | | | | | | | | | hosts command | 0 s | 0 s | 5 s | INTR after 1 m | FAILS | | | | | | | | | test Acme::Meta | 4 s | 4 s | 35 s | FAILS | FAILS | | | | | | | | 2009-02-28 Andreas J. Koenig * support deprecate.pm: Nick's plan seems to be that when Switch.pm is installed at /Users/nick/Sandpit/511v/lib/perl5/5.11.0/Switch.pm then it is a second class citizen (because it came with perl) which warns when being loaded (due to deprecated.pm). But when it (the very same file) is installed from the CPAN it will live in a different location, say /Users/nick/Sandpit/511v/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.11.0/Switch.pm and then it will not warn about deprecate although the 'use deprecate' is in the file. The plan is to change CPAN.pm such that it installs from CPAN the very same version as the core version is. The difference should be recognized in the installation directory. So there shall be more magic in the INC order. 2009-02-27 Andreas J. Koenig * todo/nice to have: completion on distros such that before the slash we complete user ids and after the slash not ls() but existing distros. Or maybe if we have more than x characters we complete the distros. Or some such. 2009-01-22 Andreas J. Koenig * todo: add a new pause batch signing key 2009-01-18 Andreas J. Koenig * 12:04:17 <@Alias> What I'm suggesting is that CPAN.pm can be embedded inside of larger programs 12:04:36 <@Alias> Or at least, it should be... it is extremely front-end centric in many places 12:05:22 <@Alias> Well, I can't actually load up CPAN.pm inside my process, as it's unsafe... 12:05:29 <@Alias> Because it does permalocks on files and stuff 12:05:36 <@Alias> And that goes all explodey 12:05:47 <@Alias> So I have to isolate each CPAN.pm call out in seperate processes 12:06:20 <@Alias> Mostly via pip or "cpan Whatever" calls 12:07:04 <@klapperl> maybe we can get rid of the permalocks 12:07:11 <@Alias> That would be nice 12:07:26 <@Alias> Also, to not apply the "don't try to reinstall" between user-land commands 12:08:12 <@Alias> But if we could flush some of this stuff out, it would be nice 2008-11-03 Andreas J. Koenig * shlomi-regex-utf8.pl needs a trick to kill itself after a second or two but without alarm because alarm doesn't kill the running regexp. Implemented with open..."|-". It uses alarm but in the parent and the child runs the regex. * S/SR/SRI/Catalyst-Plugin-HTML-Widget-1.1.tar.gz also calls cpanplus. 2008-11-02 Andreas J. Koenig * somebody has successfully called cpanplus. I suspect it was Devel-ebug-HTTP-0.32. Or Module::Install::Catalyst. Whatever. I now have a process standing in /home/sand/.cpanplus/5.11.0/build/Catalyst-Runtime-5.7015 doing nothing having 6 pipes open and giving me no clue. Yes, Leon has Module::Install 0.60 in inc/. Arrrrrrrgh. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40599 2008-10-23 Andreas J. Koenig * Scriptalicious had its first fail on 2008-07-08 with a bleadperl since then 6 green and 31 red. 2008-09-14 Andreas J.

It's not a trivial enough thing for me to simply fix it with an #if. Envariable CLASS_MOP_NO_XS? Fixes it, of course but does not help us much. 2008-09-10 Andreas J.

Koenig * DBD-Pg on k81 hangs forever asking for 'Path to pg_config?' * STEVAN/FCGI-Engine-0.04 seems to hang forever 2008-07-09 Andreas J. Koenig * App-Control-1.02 seems to call the wrong perl and when it then fails it goes into a--fortunately slow--endless loop. Need to investigate soonish if nobody beats me to it. 2008-07-07 Andreas J. Koenig * XML::RSS::Tools has three FAILS that nobody else reported but me. Manually reproducable with 5.10.0 () and ParseReport does not lead me in any direction. So I decide to upgrade random pieces.

Koenig * Sys-Syscall-0.22 hangs with 34066 (maint-5.8) during 02-sendfile. That makes Danga-Socket a DISCARD. Hmm. And then Perlbal hangs in its test. Hmm. update 2008-06-23: 34074@bleadperl also hangs. 34053 too. Why did I not notice that? 33949 same. Aha: since Jun 15 there is process 9195 running occupying port 60001, owned by sand, parent is 1 and it has plenty children. I kill it and run the tests for 33949 again. Doesn't help. Now process 21113, testing some t/31-realworld.t has occupied port 60001. When I kill that then the Syscall test runs through. Whose bug is that? I'd say Sys::Syscall should fail more gracefully instead of just hanging. Retrying 34053: now Sys-Syscall-0.22/t/01-epoll.t fails! But at least without hanging. Same with 33949: t/01-epoll......... # Failed test 'made temp listening socket' # at t/01-epoll.t line 61.

Koenig * As the last time in 2008-03-08 today I hit the Makefile.PLs written by Module::Build::Compat "passthough" model. This time with Data-Float-0.009 and Text-SimpleTable-0.03. Why does this perl have no Module::Build? I thought my megainstall rules install it because they install Bundle::CPANxxl? Yes, I do. But M:B FAILs with current 5.8.9-tobe. Is it Test::Harness 3.11? At line 675 we install T:H 3.11 and at 950 we fail the test compat.t, so yes, this is with 3.11. Retrying with 33994 I see T:H 3.11 fail in its t/compat/test-harness-compat.t. It has 3.10 and M:B PASSes. Retrying with 33935 I see M:B PASS with T:H 3.10. Here T:H 3.11 PASSes and is now installed. Testing M:B again FAILs on its t/compat.t test. Retrying with what next? I would like to have a stock 5.8.8 as it comes with just the bare metal.... Not needed because AndyA apparently already knows (witnessed on #p5p) Workaround is to force install M:B. 2008-06-05 Andreas J.

Koenig * Devel::Profiler http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35620 * new bug in Module::Install? MooseX::Storage declares the dependency "Best" on feature "YAML". Then I set my usual environment variables for Module::Install and nobody asks a question and Best is not being installed. Who's doing wrong? To find out, we need a perl without Best.pm. 33711 Trying on the commandline both /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pw3p8BE/perl-5.10.0@33711/bin/perl Build.PL and /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pw3p8BE/perl-5.10.0@33711/bin/perl Makefile.PL ask the right questions, But setting either PERL_AUTOINSTALL=--skip or PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL=--skip leads to no questions asked. This is contrary to my expectations but as I'm not sure how Module::Install intends to behave I cannot really tell what's up. I filed a ticket against Module::Install to please provide some docs. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35619 2008-05-03 Andreas J. Koenig * SOAP-WSDL fails sometimes with Can't locate object method "new" via package "SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP" Stepping through the debugger reveals it may have to do with the fact that I have Test::Without::Module installed.

Koenig * get-reports: when we get no clue from whatever we try we would like to have an automaton that tests for every possible dependency, calculates a regression and lists them. POE::API::Peek is such a case but also List-Sliding-Changes might be analyzable that way. L:S:C is fixed and get-reports did not help. Would have needed more insights into tests but most reports do not provide that especially not when it is a PASS. 2008-04-25 Andreas J. Koenig * IPC::Run fails today with any perl I try even with perls that have installed it successfully in the past and recent days. Either a dependency on a module has got a new version or something on that system (semaphores?). Interesting is http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28150 Locale! distropref written. 2008-04-23 Andreas J. Koenig * Event::Lib seems to need a binarysearch. Might be a Test::Harness issue. Ok, came to the conclusion it is Test::Harness 3.0 related. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=35355 * JSON::XS 2.2 is accused to need a binary search but I find it working under many bleadperls and indeed failing with a very old bleedperl (30953). cpantesters currently count Pass 65 : Fail 3, so this seems to be a bogus report. 2008-04-21 Andreas J.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pocketsphinx.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'pocketsphinx' found Unable to locate PocketSphinx using pkg-config. Please make sure that you have installed pkg-config and PocketSphinx on your system, and that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set correctly. 2008-04-12 Andreas J. Koenig * would like to get JavaScript to compile. Needs work on Debian. The $lib/$libs thing is broken, fixing it was easy but then the compilation and the tests still failed. * refresh investigations Data::Serializer The string that is brought from JSON via Data::Serializer to Crypt::CBC::encrypt is this: DB<10> Devel::Peek::Dump $data SV = PVMG(0x8a9e908) at 0x87e1964 REFCNT = 2 FLAGS = (PADMY,POK,pPOK,UTF8) IV = 0 NV = 0 PV = 0x8b32198 "6cbcecd11182ea942e597f5a5b77b2883885cceccff88f6b08e025db66316c96=[\"one\",\"two\",\"three\"]"\0 [UTF8 "6cbcecd11182ea942e597f5a5b77b2883885cceccff88f6b08e025db66316c96=["one","two","three"]"] CUR = 86 LEN = 221 MAGIC = 0x85c4148 MG_VIRTUAL = &PL_vtbl_utf8 MG_TYPE = PERL_MAGIC_utf8(w) MG_LEN = 86 So far no difference between 2396[56] in Crypt::CBC::crypt. The difference comes after my @blocks = unpack("a$bs "x(int(length($self->{'buffer'})/$bs)) . "a*", $self->{'buffer'}); These blocks are UTF8 since 23966 and were not so in 23965.

Install Module::Build from CPAN? [y] Aha. This is a special Module::Build silliness that calls CPAN recursively to install Module::Build::Compat. If you say no, it dies. update 2008-06-12 akoenig : what's the politically correct way to deal with this Makefile.PL nowadays? Large Module::Build::Compat thread at http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2008/01/msg133202.html (just a random point in the middle), no conclusion there. My conclusion: install Module::Build really early and never see this discussion again. And if Module::Build cannot be built? When this happens it will be fixed within days or we can force install it and with 5.10 this is moot. Nope, changing mind again. If there is no reason to use "passthrough", they really should use "traditional", the only sane option when there is no special reason why you'd absolutely need Module::Build. 2008-03-05 Andreas J.

It costs a bit more CPU to sort the raw list of modules and the stupid thing is that we sort all, not only those that are being displayed finally. But that was always our goal: to display while we go so the user gets information as soon as possible. So now the list is sorted by the boolean "representative module" and on second order alphabetically.

Koenig * Frank Wiegand tells me stories about a bug in AUTOLOAD, version, or CPAN.pm. http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=665058 After installing a few thousand modules I can reproduce the failure. With both 1.9205 and current repository version. I must call 'reload index' and then 'r'. An 'r' when loading the data from Metadata succeeds. Introducing more evals allows me to identify the modules that *trigger* the bug: 'Acme::MetaSyntactic::nethack': 'Class::Accessor::Classy': 'Class::DBI': 'Class::Std': 'Config::Std': 'Getopt::Euclid': 'Smart::Comments': 'Sub::Installer': 'Text::Balanced': I can then also step through the debugger in the AutoLoader which believes it is being called for: DB<<11>> x $AUTOLOAD 0 'main::version::(""' Before we reach there we see a version object that looks like so: DB<7> x $have 0 main::version=HASH(0xcc1b6ec) 'original' => 'v1.0.0' 'qv' => 1 'version' => ARRAY(0xcc1b8e4) 0 1 1 0 2 0 and the debugger displays it as such, so apparently overloading is turned off somehow. Because if I construct such an object manually, it has overloading and the 'x $have' just does: DB<16> x $have 0 v1.0.0 I now have it down to: % /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/maint-5.8/p8tnrrm/perl-5.8.0@27144/bin/perl -Ilib -MCPAN -e ' use CPAN; CPAN::Shell->reload("index"); $TRACEMODULE = CPAN::Shell->expand('Module','Acme::MetaSyntactic::nethack'); $traceinst = $TRACEMODULE->inst_version; print $traceinst; ' Bombs immediately.

Koenig * Alias says: "YAML::Tiny is quite clear about what it is, a module that supports reading and writing of the block-mode JSON-subset of the YAML specification." mauzo writes a more complete spec: Perl doesn't have a formal spec, either, yet it seems to acquire its fair share of bugs :). YAML::Tiny has a perfectly decent (informal, implicit) spec: 1. if write_string is passed any Perl data structure consisting only of unmagical scalars, arrays and hashes, produce a spec-compliant YAML document representing it which can be parsed by YAML::Tiny or any more complete YAML parser; 2. if write_string is passed any other Perl data structure, report an error saying so; 3. if read_string is passed any spec-compliant YAML document, either 1. parse that document correctly and return the corresponding Perl data structure, or 2. report an error that this document is unsupported and a more complete parser should be used; 4. if read_string is passed anything that isn't a spec-compliant YAML document, report an error saying so. Any other behaviour, such as Adam has just fixed, is a bug. The only thing that might be useful is documentation of which cases get 3.1 and which get 3.2. I must write a RT ticket demanding these specs become part of the manpage. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=31275 where Alias say "A challenge" * off topic: http://use.perl.org/~pmichaud/journal/35049 patrick on state of perl6/parrot 2007-12-04 Andreas J.

It fails on 27002 more or less the same way as with current 5.10. It fails on 23023 because Glib fails there.

My perl 32208 fails that test, it has 1.816 already. I re-install 1.816 and re-test Encode::MAB2 and it fails again. Everything looks like a perl bug except that between 32202 and 32204 nothing interesting happened. So does the downgrade of libdb only have an effect on newer perls? If so, then we will see 32177 and all others I build now succeed. I do not understand the reason for that. Reading the output of the perl compilation indicates that -ldb is called on the linker for DB_File.so. But why is there a -L/usr/local/lib? Dunno, but irrelevant because there is no libdb. And DB_File is a dynamic extension that gets stored into ../../lib/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so. This then gets installed into /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pbMhvub/perl-5.8.0@32444/lib/5.10.0/i686-linux-64int/DB_File.pm and /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pbMhvub/perl-5.8.0@32444/lib/5.10.0/i686-linux-64int/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so -r-xr-xr-x 1 sand sand 51221 2007-11-22 08:50 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pbMhvub/perl-5.8.0@32444/lib/5.10.0/i686-linux-64int/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so -r--r--r-- 1 sand sand 63485 2007-11-22 08:50 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pbMhvub/perl-5.8.0@32444/lib/5.10.0/i686-linux-64int/DB_File.pm Nonono, wrong way down the road.

AHA: 0% chance of success:) Actually this example is exposing the problem that is in the system that failing modules with failing dependencies are not reported on cpantesters: Carp::Diagnostics has 2 fails but only 2 reports, not more. Probably because Test::Dependencies has so many fails. Downgrading to Test::Dependencies 0.07 also fails a test but "CPAN::Reporter: test results were not valid, Prerequisite missing." - B::PerlReq ...missing. - PerlReq::Utils ...missing. B::PerlReq missing in megainstall and a candidate for BBC. Fails with blead, succeeds with 5.8.8. Now also Test::Dependencies has a test. Update 2007-12-26 : Ticket to Test-Dependencies opened today http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=31906 But both Carp-Diagnostics and List-Tuples are by Nadim and make no sense as it seems and I cannot argue over it.

And after that failing tests. The File/Spec.pm in current bleadperl 32269 is the same, but I do not get these errors. Maybe the r command gives us a clue? No, it spits too much output. So I try an "update" to svk 3446 which was before Rich's patches and the failures are the same. I should also try 3275. Indeed, the test failure stays which should now have proven that it is not a change in my code that broke but something that which I have installed in my smoke perls. I should try perls close to 31790: 31613 and 31882. OK and OK. Now I can go through diffs in the modules and upgrade until I have the jerk. Fun. [...hours later...] This strategy does not lead anywhere. 32248 has no problem with this test either. But the scope of the problem to compare whole trees with hundreds of interdependencies is simply too big. New idea: CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make has been installed on those perls, has it not? Yes. And when I uninstall it, all's well. * This should become a BBC article: ----Program---- eval q{use Brackup 1.06}; print $@ ?

Koenig * Rethink the recent mail exchange with Barbie about timestamps in the future. * Some distro removed the Config.pm of my testing perls so I lost 6 perl installations. I removed them immediately and now let only one perl run. From the history of sent test reports it seems that Perl-Dist is to blame. I'm starting cpan for bleadperl@32194 which has a working -V command so must have a Config.pm.

BBC article posted to P5P. 2007-10-28 Andreas J. Koenig * watching /tmp is boring and I want to delay the next RT tickets until after the next release of File::Temp. * I wish I had an overview over all BBC articles and the status they are in and links to the articles and the RT tickets and all postings that preceded BBC saying something like "23456 breaks Term::ReadLine::Gnu". This (at least the still open parts) should find its way into perl5100delta.pod. Math::Pari and T:R:G being the most prominent victims. * Tcl maybe broke around 31941? We do not have the config of our perls in the database, so SQL will not do it. We need to find all Tcl=OK for perl=debugging. So some grep through all perl-V and all VKON! or so. for d in logs/megainstall.2007{09,10}*.d; do grep -H " optimize" $d/perl-V.txt | perl -pe 's/\n//' grep ok= $d/VKON!Tcl-* |& perl -nle 'print /( ok=".+?")/' done [...] logs/megainstall.20070922T1716.d/perl-V.txt: optimize='-g', ok="OK" logs/megainstall.20070923T1153.d/perl-V.txt: optimize='-g', ok="NOT OK" This means 31939-31941 and we need a config with optimize=-g. Nonono, because 39 and 41 have long since been purged we need to order 40 directly, then the neighbor and then write the BBC (unless the neighbor behaves differently from what we see in the database; which means 41 must fail). 31941 is easy peasy. The subject line says exactly what it is doing. But is it correct to limit an assertion to debugging mode? Are the two extensions doing stupid things? Let's examine the diagnostics.

Its t/thread.t tests if (!eval { require Thread; my $t = Thread->new(sub { }) }) { print "1..0\n"; exit 0; } The compat layer seems to have started working between 30910 and 32032: % for p in `binsearchaperl --show-cache --bounds 27048-33000 --apcdir /home/src/perl/repoperls/APC --prefix /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls --cachefilter tests/filter-threaded.pl `; do $p -MThread -e 'print substr($^X,64), ": ", eval{Thread->new(sub { })} ?

I would guess that somewhere between 27048 and 29353 the compatibility layer broke heavily and somewhere between 30910 and 31500 they fixed it a bit. 30955 was the last change to Thread.pm. The fix for our minimal testcase came a bit before that: ----Program---- require Thread; print eval{Thread->new(sub { })} ? "ok\n" : "not ok\n"; ----Output of .../pCY4xFO/perl-5.8.0@30952/bin/perl---- not ok ----EOF ($?='0')---- ----Output of .../pQ8RfLX/perl-5.8.0@30953/bin/perl---- ok Perl exited with active threads: 1 running and unjoined 0 finished and unjoined 0 running and detached ----EOF ($?='0')---- ----Program---- require Thread; print eval{Thread->new(sub { })} ? "ok\n" : "not ok\n"; ----Output of .../ppYBvaY/perl-5.8.0@27704/bin/perl---- ok A thread exited while 2 threads were running. ----EOF ($?='0')---- ----Output of .../pBY7a0s/perl-5.8.0@27705/bin/perl---- not ok ----EOF ($?='0')---- Running a Net::Daemon 0.43 comare between 30952 and 53 shows the equivalent result. Now let's see for Devel-Caller and Sub-Multi. Devel-Caller needs a separate investigation (fails on both 3095[23]). Now I discover the dependency chain of Sub-Multi. I see that Devel::LexAlias depends on Devel-Caller. And Data::Bind depends on Devel::LexAlias and Sub::Multi depends on Data::Bind. So Sub::Multi can be dropped from further investigation. Note that we have not yet looked which construct it is that breaks in the test. So it might be interesting to look if 27704 was still ok. Yes, it passes all tests and does not skip the t/thread.t. BBC article is posted. * /tmp again 30297 HTML-Display Cleaning up /tmp directory 2007-10-26 Andreas J. Koenig * mod_perl also broke recently. Between 32090 and 32101. And it suddenly worked again in 32192 which was a nothreads nodebugging build without relocatable inc. nothing obvious, of course. I made a autobundle for 32085. And 32108. The diffs are huge. /home/sand/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2007_10_26_0[01].pm Nono, that's something entirely different.

Maybe it is because of relocateableinc? Not directly, of course, because we have had it working for 32085 and do not have it working for 32085 now. So to compare autobundles we would first need a perl that currently correctly builds and tests mod_perl. 32059 nowadays has the same problem. 32032 ditto. I untar the apache tarball once again and retry with 32032. Same result. 32009 was built on Oct 3 and I want to see the logs really, really exactly as they were. And what do I find? The same results but at that time CPAN::Reporter reported OK although so many tests were not run. A very interesting discovery. Probably this is just thanks to Test::Harness 2.99 now popping up? I'll now skip back in time and visit 31824 (if possible). It was the first perl I built with relocateableinc and it reported OK on mod_perl. Of course it also has the same bug with mod_perl 1.30. CPAN::Reporter reports (and reported on 2007-09-09) UNKNOWN in this case. But it got installed and make install was OK, so I did not discover the bug. Next stop in our time travel shall bring us to 31790 (2007-09-05T01:07). It was the last perl without relocateableinc. And all tests run and pass.

Sorry, forgot to make a backup, reconstruct running... It turns out that I see the same on 32174 and that it is load dependent. And JDHEDDEN says this is not a bug and he is not willing to change the timeouts. I wonder if this is related to threaded builds (321[57]4 were threaded) or really only load driven. * Yesterday I built my first jifty installation with current SVN and bleadperl. 32147 was the patchnumber.

Resolution simple: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30183 2007-10-21 Andreas J. Koenig * Variable::Magic is a candidate for a BBC article but the binary search is veiled by the fact that 28380/28381 is an important transition but there is another important transition. 28381 fails all tests with glibc noise but nowadays only one test fails. I need to find the transition from glibc noise to code that at least runs. The other end seems to be 28968 so that 28969 fixed the glibc thing. But this is very surprising because that patch only "bumped version to 5.9.5". Maybe Variable::Magic uses the 4/5 somewhere. Now running Variable::Magic tests with 28969: Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/31-array.t 2 512 21 2 20-21 3 tests skipped.

Koenig * Going to report tmp directory. I already have reported: 26078 Config-JSON: Using predictable filenames in /tmp is a security hazard and should be avoided even in test scripts. Besides if they aren't cleaned up they lead to failing tests. Please use File::Temp instead. 26951 Cache-FastMmap (resolved): Using predictable filenames in /tmp has some security implications too, so should be avoided. In this case it simply causes the test to fail because another user has occupied this file or directory. 26538 HTML-Scrubber: The first bug is that the tmp file was not cleaned up and left ove from a different user in /tmp/. Generally it is considered a security issue to put predictable files into /tmp. File::Temp should be used instead. 26536 Module-Refresh (resolved): The first bug is that the test script does not clean up after itself. /tmp/FooBar.pm is still around from a test by a different user. In general it is considered a security issue to write predictable file names into /tmp. Better you use File::Temp (and remove the files at the end nonetheless). Today I find a DBM Deep file, one that starts with "use strict;\nuse ExtUtils::MakeMaker;\nuse CPAN::Version;\n\n# read module and prereq string from STDIN\nwhile ( ) {...", a directory with two DBM-Deep files, about 40 "Hello world" perl programs, all at 23:45, a catalyst logo in PNG format at 23:47 and many, many more 29969 CGI-Session: "Temporary files left over in /tmp" 30020 Log-Report Cleaning up /tmp directory 30019 SQL-DB Cleaning up /tmp directory; predictable tmp filenames open 30018 PAR-Repository-Client Cleaning up /tmp directory open 2007-10-13 Andreas J.

Found something, not related to the tmp directory. I have test: args: - "TEST_FILES=t/00compile.t t/Any.t t/fail.t t/perl-critic.t t/pod.t t/type.t" in the distroprefs file. If I remove it we succeed. Finding a new bug by working around another. Who broke the distroprefs file? It is not MakeMaker or Harness. If I issue 'make test TEST_F...' manually it is fine. It's something coming earlier. It's in CPAN::Reporter. If I turn reporting off it goes away. Downgrading to 0.99_1[540] same problem. Downgrading to 99_05 nope, 99_01 nope. To 0.4801 good.

It's about extracting. This Archive::Unzip::Burst looks interesting. Why do we not have it? 31790 compiles it and tests ok and has it installed. 31824 has an old CPAN but it compiles it and tests OK. PAR Packer takes a long time to compile.

I mean, when I *install* Archive::Unzip::Burst and then try PAR again from scratch, it fails with the same error message. Getopt::ArgvFile is a prereq and has not changed. 31790 has Getopt::Attribute missing. I retry to fforce test it on 31790. It compiles it. Running test ... (running out of time) For 31824 I hide Getopt::Attribute now and fforce test PAR-Packer-0.976 here too. It fails again with the same error message. For 31824 I downgrade Module::Build from 0.2808_01 to 0.2808 which 790 had. PAR-Parser still fails with the same error. For 31824 I downgrade from E:I 1.44 to YVES/ExtUtils-Install-1.41_04.tar.gz. I expect that if this has an influence it would show in the installation of other modules and so do not expect a change in behaviour. And so it gets confirmed. For 31824 I find a File::Path 2.00_11 which is lower than the 2.01 in 31790.

Just run r command and pick something and retry PAR-Parser. I picked Set::Scalar and then realized that I'm hunting two bugs at once. One is the above "./par" command that triggers a "Usage" error, the other is a failing 20-pp test. And I see now that 31790 fails on test 20-pp. Unfortunately it is a very time consuming test and I must restart me research to find explain each error separately. 2007-10-11 Andreas J.

But I upgraded 32001 to DBM::Deep 1.0006 and now tests of IPC::PubSub fail. Downgrading to DBM::Deep 1.0005 is refused because tests fail.

It's hard to run this binary search correct because now some of these perls do not pass YAML tests and subsequently cannot patch/install Module::Build without intervention. 24439 OK. 24759 OK. But 24759 depends on YAML and YAML has was not working for 24759 so CPAN.pm didn't install it. We have all tests pass but no installation. Need to force it. And YAML::XS is also tunneled. So we have a very dark tunnel around 24759 with neither YAML nor Module::Build. I have a patch for MB but not for YAML. In any case 28539 still has the test 37 bug. 25532 OK; 27048 fails; 26369 (needs force install YAML) OK; 26695 (force install YAML) fails; 26465 OK; 26545 fails; 26480 OK; ... 496 fails; 488 fails; 484 OK ----Program---- eval q{use SQL::Translator 0.08001}; print $@ ?

But it's shadowed by the depends on POE-API-Peek which was broken by blead for a while around 27514. I have the impression that POE::API::Peek started to work on 31051 and that POE::Component::Server::HTTP now works too since I have added a dependency on POE::API::Peek in my distroprefs file. Nope, the dependency on POE::API::Peek is in the Makefile.PL of P:C:S:HTTP. Apparently all's well. *Maybe* there's also a configure_requires on POE needed somewhere, dunno. * IFF Compress::Zlib 2.X does not work we can take PMQS/Compress-Zlib-1.42.tar.gz as a replacement! Would be nice to find a replacement for Scalar-List-Utils too. 1.19 does not work with blead@23023, but 1.17 does. 2007-10-01 Andreas J. Koenig * off topic: try rob kinyon's bug with the next bleadperl which will have no debugging and no int64bit. 2007-09-29 Andreas J. Koenig * digging into gtk. It always failed because somebody told the Gtk self-configuration that something on my system was not sufficient. No helpful diagnostics were ever provided. Running through the debugger today reveals that it is due to pkg-config. Asking pkg-config with the right options reveals a few things # pkg-config --exists --print-errors 'gtk+-2.0' I had to call it several times and to install libxmu-dev libxinerama-dev libxinerama1 (who would have guessed?) This does at least let the above command return true. But there is still a version requirement in the Gtk2 package that says gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 And surprise, we now fulfill it. I think the only bug is the --silence-errors option that I saw in the debugger. It should be replaced with --print-errors. Otherwise the user never sees an error and has to suffer. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29758 * todo: add more Tk modules to megainstall.

Koenig * MSISK/HTML-TableExtract-2.10.tar.gz: I had already RTed months ago that it is due to the HTML::TreeBuilder but did I write it into a distroprefs file? Yes, Sir, I have: distroprefs/MSISK.HTML-TableExtract.yml and that is why since then I have ONLY fails. Would be cool to offer a fix though. But in the interest of sanity it would be better to write a distroprefs file automatically that's based on some criterium like, say, no release for over N months although since that many months nothing but fail reports. This would also be interesting for CPANTS. * Todo: write a history of used distroprefs docs so we can identify which ones are never used and can be purged. 2007-09-25 Andreas J.

So what would people think of this: Build.PL has a new option ... diplomatic_makefile_pl => 1, ... generated Makefile.PL if (eval { require Module::Build; 1}){ # if user has Module::Build installed we use it system $^X, "Build.PL"; write_diplomatic_makefile; } else { beg_user_to_install_module_build_asap(); write_traditional_compat_makefile(); } the generated diplomatic Makefile would then contain: default: ./Build test: ./Build test install ./Build install [...etc...] Has this been tried?

Leads to tons of error messages with no (?) consequences but screen noise. I removed all these broken *.bs files but now I have no idea where they were coming from. Too much smoking produces too thick air. Mark Overmeer just complained about the resulting smoke reports. When I look into my mailq I find only two large mails waiting for delivery, all others are fine. So how do I find out who wrote these files? I first remove the crap in my mailq. Done, so we have only 235 mails in the mqueue which look OK. For the record, the following are the latest smokes (but their dependencies naturally missing). All times CEST. At 21:27 we had already a broken system.

The timestamp of the file is 2007-09-06T22:09, they have 2217 bytes and have the same md5sum and although I have already deleted plenty of them I still count 22049 of these files. Somebody was really busy. Hrm. Now I have a suspect. My trimtrees is most likely to blame. These files will have the same inode and somebody only changed one random zero-byte file without unlinking it first and all this happened. Yes? Indeed, the inode is 1855345. So I'll have to fix trimtrees:-( 2007-09-06 Andreas J. Koenig * Something broke my parser for the output of the test runs. residuum.yml are the unparsed lines. Ahhh, it's the new //hint// line.

This queue is always keeping two or three jobs active in parallel and watches stdout+stderr. If for more than 10 minutes no output is produced the job gets a SIGSTOP and it is moved to the unlimited(?) heap of hangers and the next job from the queue is made active. Somebody provides us an interface to send stdin to one of the hangers. As soon as this is done that job gets queued again and is not considered a hanger anymore. The queuerunner will then send it a SIGCONT to activate it. Somebody provides us an interface to list all hangers, and one to show the output of one hanger. http://gumbynet.org.uk/hackintro/ http://gumbynet.org.uk/hackathon/ * todo: commit bit for florian 2007-08-29 Andreas Koenig * bug from tina: new debian without gcc.

(You may wish to trust it locally with 'gpg --lsign-key 450F89EC') Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for CPAN SUGGESTION Not all people use one monolithing GPG keyring, so any automatic "imports" beyond user control is bad. Please don't automatically import any keys, but sugest the KEYID or present a gpg key fetch command to use. Here is an example of the typical use of multiple keyrings to separate keys according to their use: $ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf keyring pubring-remailer.pgp keyring pubring-sw-development.pgp In this case the CPAN key would have been put into pubring-sw-development.pgp, but the CPAN installer script couldn't have known that. * bartl writes in RT 28946: On Windows 98, with CPAN.pm 1.9102 (ActivePerl 5.8.8 build 822), the CPAN shell dies as soon as it's started up, with the error message: flock() unimplemented on this platform at D:/programs/ActivePerl5.8/lib/CPAN.pm line 1015. That line looks like this: while (!flock $fh, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) { (And there's another line pretty much like it on line 3397.) Ironically, before installing this version, I had done nmake test because I was expecting trouble, and all tests passed. So I don't think there is any test related to flock. (ActivePerl build 5.8.8 comes with this version of CPAN, I've had to downgrade because of this problem.) Among the versions that are still available on CPAN, the first version to contain flock calls is 1.90. The latest development release still has these same code lines in those areas, so I don't think the problem has been resolved yet. The problem does not exist on a more modern, NT based, version of Windows, like Windows XP. * Schwern writes I should read RT 23735 summary: kane and adam have had discussions on some IRC channel about how to cooperate and have decided on two environment variables that tell the other process the rel2abs of the {Makefile,Build}.PL file and the $VERSION. Where are the names? Something with _EXECUTING and _VERSION. I downloaded CPANPLUS to see what's up. It seems it sets only _EXECUTING. This is now also DONE for CPAN.pm. * off topic: perlbuzz.com Skud and Andy 2007-08-22 Andreas Koenig * Todo: cleanup of the build directory must be possible from a non-interactive command. Currently all batch jobs accumulate data in the build directory and the first interactive user must then cleanup the mess. * RT 28915 CPAN::HandleConfig::home does not handle a return of "undef" from File::HomeDir->my_data. In my particular network configuration this arises, causing CPAN to incorrectly ignore my ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm and try to run CPAN::FirstTime::init. (I'm not sure why it does the latter, but that's not part of this bug report.) The details: CPAN is being invoked in a ssh session into an OS X box, which gets its user account information via NIS. My account is "foreign" (i.e. not created on the Mac) and File::HomeDir->my_data() returns "undef" (which seems appropriate). Unfortunately, this causes CPAN::HandleConfig::load to ignore my existing ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm (as the path to it is now wrong) and to try to create a new one. (It should be noted that CPAN::FirstTime::init uses a different algorithm to determine where the config file goes; it just uses $ENV{HOME}). The most obvious solution would be to check the return from File::HomeDir->my_data and if it is "undef" to fall back to using $ENV{HOME} or File::HomeDir->my_home. * Bug: by adding CPAN::HandleConfig->load unless $CPAN::Config_loaded++; in CPAN.pm line 1309 I break the whole test 30shell.t. Why? Recursion? recurson protection added to load(). DONE. * Todo: verbosity; tar_verbosity was a start and it had 'none', 'v', and 'vv' as options. load_module_verbosity could be 'none' or 'v'. I see no sense in a 'vv' option. db_verbosity would cover too many things, maybe load_index_verbosity? We must give all kinds of noise a name and one or more verbosity levels. That which is not our own noise must be delegated to the owner. There is a very dirty spot in mydie: it mywarns and then die()s with nothing but "\n" as argument. This dirty spot shall not disturb us while working on verbosity. It is not myprint's business at all.

HERE it is: http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/backpan/authors/id/X/XM/XMATH/Data-Alias-1.04.tar.gz Here I conclude that I should mirror this directory and put the mirror second in the urllist and put the backpan last in the list.

Next round of binsearch with the fixed 17705. And then I had to find out that SVG::Metadata does not declare its dependency on HTML::Entities and had to install that manually into some involved perls and finally I got: ----Program---- eval q{use SVG::Metadata 0.28}; print $@ ?

Which perl is good for that? Stock 5.8.8 should do and note there is a 2.00_xx! For install I can configure back to using sudo. But all testing should be done by sand because there is the reporter DB. So this time I want to disable prefs? No, k installs, sand tests. Yes, even with Test::Reporter 1.27 the mail from Mail::Send seems to have been accepted for delivery (RJBS/Test-BinaryData-0.003.tar.gz). Now with Test::Reporter 1.30 I tried KWILLIAMS/Path-Class-0.16.tar.gz. And finally with MARKOV/MailTools-2.00_01.tar.gz I try JROCKWAY/Directory-Scratch-0.12.tar.gz Mails went out through sendmail. Mailq is empty. But the mails did not come back to me on the subscription address. Nor to Google http://groups.google.com/group/perl.cpan.testers/topics?lnk=srg Let me compare the 3 mails above with the last mail before that. It was about BPAN. A bad one with Mail::Send: # egrep 'l6L5ZkbD030283' /var/log/mail.info Jul 21 07:35:46 k75 sendmail[30283]: l6L5ZkbD030283: from=sand, size=5897, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200707210535.l6L5ZkbD030283@k75.linux.bogus>, relay=sand@localhost Jul 21 07:35:46 k75 sm-mta[30284]: l6L5Zk0d030284: from=, size=6121, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200707210535.l6L5ZkbD030283@k75.linux.bogus>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MSA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] Jul 21 07:35:46 k75 sendmail[30283]: l6L5ZkbD030283: to=cpan-testers@perl.org, ctladdr=sand (1005/1005), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=35897, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (l6L5Zk0d030284 Message accepted for delivery) Jul 21 07:35:59 k75 sm-mta[30286]: l6L5Zk0d030284: to=, ctladdr= (1005/1005), delay=00:00:13, xdelay=00:00:13, mailer=esmtp, pri=126121, relay=mx.develooper.com.

CPAN::Reporter or Test::Reporter is unable to set the from address when switching to Mail::Send. Stepping through the debugger. Test::Reporter::_mail_send line 344 sets the From correctly. Later Mail::Send passes itself over to Mail::Mailer DB<14> n Mail::Send::open(/usr/local/perl-5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/Send.pm:57): 57: Mail::Mailer->new(@_)->open($self); DB<14> x \@_ 0 ARRAY(0x85b1c74) empty array DB<15> x $self 0 Mail::Send=HASH(0xbe3ac30) 'From' => ARRAY(0xbe3c75c) 0 'andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de' 'Subject' => ARRAY(0xbe3c7d4) 0 'PASS WebService-Mogo2-0.01 i686-linux-64int 2.6.14' 'To' => ARRAY(0xbe3a9e4) 0 'cpan-testers@perl.org' 'X-Reported-Via' => ARRAY(0xbe3be14) 0 'Test::Reporter 1.30, via CPAN::Reporter 0.46' Aha. I have sendmail installed and despite Mail::Send and Mail::Mailer carefully keep the $sender and $hdr intact, Mail::Mailer::sendmail throws it away because it cannot handle it. The documentation of Test::Reporter tells me that I can use $tr->mail_send_args(['smtp']); perhaps. So let's try. With MailTool 2.00_01 I must write a bugreport that there is a syntax error. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28411 With current version 1.77 there is a failure: Sending test report with 'pass' to cpan-testers@perl.org (in cleanup) Undefined subroutine &Mail::Mailer::smtp::close called at /usr/local/perl-5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/Mailer.pm line 204. Catching error: 'Undefined subroutine &Mail::Mailer::smtp::close called at /usr/local/perl-5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Mail/Mailer.pm line 133.

' at lib/CPAN.pm line 275 CPAN::shell() called at -e line 1 So maybe the mail was sent but it certainly was a die() before the bookkeeping was done:-( No, from the logfile it seems there was no mail sent at all. So I try again with 2.00_01 and insert an "or" before the return to fix the syntax. This dies without an error message. So I come to the conclusion that I must fix Test::Reporter for me. IS this all I need? - use constant FAKE_NO_MAIL_SEND => 0; # for debugging only + use constant FAKE_NO_MAIL_SEND => 1; # for debugging only YES! 2007-07-19 Andreas J. Koenig * Bug: 'fforce get STAS/libapreq-1.33.tar.gz' runs into an endless loop. All the configure_requires stuff is only working for "install", often not for get/make/test. The first get must keep a record that it has already tried the other get so it won't repeat this step.

The testsuite of UNIVERSAL-require-0.11 has no issues with bleadperl but Jifty uses U:r it in a way that fails since day X. t/00-load.t would do for the binary search. Let's disable CPAN::Reporter and add the test/args: TEST_FILES=t/00-load.t to the distroprefs file. And cpanconfig/test_report: 0. Not possible because Jifty-DBI-0.41 fails with 23023.

Koenig * off topic: working on Module::Build for "the corridor". Trying to determine the exact boundaries of the corridor. The lower end is not that hard to determine because binarysearch finds its way through the area. But the upper boundary is slow because for some reason questions are being asked by, e.g. 25125. Ah, it is within the corridor. 26003 is outside. First broken perl is 23190, last one is....25414.

The FAIL with 613 is now reproducable. The OK with 600 is not reproducable anymore, some update since then has broken it. The last OK before was with 2007-07-12T22:46 (31599). This OK is reproducable. So I'll compare autobundle of 599 and 600. I see that Email::Simple was updated from 1.999 to 2.001. When I install 1.999 on 31613? Then Email-MIME-1.859 passes all tests. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28170 (reported by pmei ) * Idea: new options how to treat Module::Install. I could peek into the Makefile.PL and guess if it is a Module::Install based one or maybe look at inc/Module/Install.pm. Then what? Answer Auto-Install questions with "y", "n", DEFAULT? Make a difference between optional and mandatory? Realize that "n" would not work because for mandatory stuff they then ask. "Really...". Hrmmm. Ask Adam? I suppose he would recommend to set the PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT variable. That would choose DEFAULT. * Todo: complete the show_xxx_version config parameters DONE * I want to use ^C during recent to mean that I do not want to continue to read this document.

This was really two bugs: one that we believed that "v1.0" was 0. FIXED now The other is that I believe that trailing ".0" should not actually be treated as significant.

His suggestion means that we shall devide the URLs into http and ftp and shall run: easy with file easy with http hard with http easy with ftp hard with ftp hardest (which is ftp only per definition) Test it with ftp://AFTP, http://BHTTP, file://CFILE and 'get DDDD/notexist-0.0.tar.gz' I see: Fetching with LWP: file://CFILE/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with LWP: http://BHTTP/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Trying with "/usr/bin/curl -L -f -s -S --netrc-optional" to get http://BHTTP/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Trying with "/usr/bin/wget -O /home/k/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.tmp14022" to get http://BHTTP/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Trying with "/usr/bin/lynx -source" to get http://BHTTP/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Fetching with LWP: http://www.perl.org/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz No, this is a new bug.

I think defaulting to http transports even for the fetch of the initial MIRRORED.BY would improve things even more, but that goes back to http transports not being available in stock Perl on all platforms. LWP is a solution, but unlikely to make it into core anytime soon. Perhaps if it would at least test for http support (via LWP or external stuff like wget/curl) and default to using any available http transport instead of ftp if possible for bootstrapping mirror lists and module lists, that would improve the situation for some. -- Brandon * configure_requires needs to be rounded off with distroprefs depends/configure_requires most prominently because we can test it better if we write some distroprefs that use it. * SQL::Translator has an error message that seems to resemble MRO error messages.

It is a way to run many rsync updates simultaneously but not with a database for each pair rather with the same batch jobs for all slaves or so. I do not think this is what I want. * configure_requires needs dummy test distro that depends on some other dummy test distro. we must test the behaviour if that other distro is available and if it is not available. Pick a dummy distro as a blueprint. Make-Expect is a bit too large. Build is not suited because I do not speak M:B well. I take the simple Make thing and I call the new one Make-ConfReq. * Devel::EvalContext? We should run it through a binary search together with Data::Alias 1.06. Data::Alias does not like 23023. 26015? No. 28005? Ignition found. The binsearch reaches 28927/8 which simply cannot be it. We must look why EvalContext failed. YAML 0.65 is a prereq and it did not compile at that time. In 28928 we have no YAML and so no install happens. But why do we have a YAML with 28927? Maybe some test has been skipped or some such, it does not really matter. 26015 also fails because of YAML. 27422 has YAML and tests OK. For further proceedings we must filter out perls that cannot have a YAML 0.65 for whatever reason. We should probably install YAML with notest. Doing so now. Just for the record, the failing test is this one: t/marshall...........*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x08607110 *** dubious Test returned status 0 (wstat 6, 0x6) DIED. FAILED tests 1-10 Failed 10/10 tests, 0.00% okay This does not lead to a convergence either because now I find out that the now fixed Data-Alias 1.06 does not work with some earlier bleadperls. This means I start another binsearch to find this threshold and after that I can limit the other binsearch to the interval that we have a working Data::Alias 1.06 for. The threshold is 31252. This is the very first bleadperl that works with Data::Alias 1.06 And within this short interval 31252-31505 Devel::EvalContext seems to not run. Now what would be interesting to know: how long did D:E work with Data::Alias 1.05?

They all fail with cc -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl \ miniperlmain.o opmini.o libperl.a -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc libperl.a(mg.o): In function `Perl_magic_set': /home/src/perl/repoperls/perl-p-5.8.0@20573/mg.c:2215: undefined reference to `setruid' /home/src/perl/repoperls/perl-p-5.8.0@20573/mg.c:2269: undefined reference to `setrgid' /home/src/perl/repoperls/perl-p-5.8.0@20573/mg.c:2364: undefined reference to `setproctitle' libperl.a(pp_sys.o): In function `Perl_pp_fteread': /home/src/perl/repoperls/perl-p-5.8.0@20573/pp_sys.c:2949: undefined reference to `eaccess' libperl.a(pp_sys.o): In function `Perl_pp_ftewrite': /home/src/perl/repoperls/perl-p-5.8.0@20573/pp_sys.c:2976: undefined reference to `eaccess' libperl.a(pp_sys.o): In function `Perl_pp_fteexec': /home/src/perl/repoperls/perl-p-5.8.0@20573/pp_sys.c:3003: undefined reference to `eaccess' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status So we could try to replace mg.c and pp_sys.c with later versions? We could look into our history if we ever had such an encounter -- No. So we need to document that because we will have to go into this region again. Where were mg.c changes? ./bin/blame-helper.pl --diffdir APC/5.9.0/diffs --lower 20400 --upper 24009 mg.c As expected, I cannot compile 20829 either. As all this is highly unlikely to help we should rather look into config.sh: Maybe I should try to add to --config '-Ud_eaccess -Ud_setruid -Ud_setrgid -Ud_setproctitle'? I think I did that before. Because we have the directories already I edit the config.sh to the same effect and run make again. I do this in 20474. Yes this is the way to go.

So I schedule it for reindexing and wait if Lingua::Stem starts to PASS again. Further investigations reveal that there *was* a A/AC/ACALPINI/Lingua-Stem-it-0.02.tar.gz (note lowercase) which also had contained Lingua::Stem::It and when it was removed from cpan, the indexer threw away the L:S:I record. Nobody reindexed the Lingua-Stem-it-0.02.tar.gz then until I did. And then it turned out that this new release broke L:S testsuite:-( http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27616 * Class-DBI is yet to be analysed. The RT queue is full of spam.

Write a smoke command which takes a numeric argument and tests the first N items of that list. smoke without arguments smokes the whole list. Or could we reuse something from a smoke module?

And it sorts alphabetically per day without a trace of a timestamp. But uploads.rdf does not provide the extension ".tar.gz" or whatever should be there. This can be worked around though. Winnipeg has them. We need RECENT files on CPAN. 2007-06-14 Andreas J. Koenig * Tie-EncryptedHash-1.21 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=27585 * Todo: configure_requires is now official in the META docs and needs doing. I'm now sure I want a distropref for personal dependencies. I do not want to intermix them with the three _require types, so I'll probably call it but_first. The implementation will then be very, very close to configure_requires. The point is that this stuff shall kick in very early, before we run Makefile.PL. Update 2007-06-15 akoenig maybe depends is a better keyword than but_first. "But first" comes from hiveminder. We definitely need depends WITH sub keywords {configure_,build_,}requires modelled after the META spec so that we get the full power that is to be implemented anyway. * DBIx-Timeout again. I once gave it a dsn but this may have been wrong as there is no dependency on dbd::mysql and so we get random results depending on DBI::mysql being available or not. * AxKit 1.6.2 intermittant failures. In the distropref I wrote once that I won't care further but intermittant success/failure keeps the thing getting in the way. RT for axkit is full of spam and the last resolved bug was two years ago. The mailing list is dead since September 2006. I take it out of megainstall.txt for now. 2007-06-13 Andreas J. Koenig * ROODE/Time-Format-1.02.tar.gz intermittant failures.

Koenig * Watch HTML-TreeBuilder-XPath-0.08 It failed suddenly in current build and has quite a good history of green builds, although not perfect. * Binary searches in some regions below 23023 are getting uglier and uglier. I now see test failures in CPAN.pm's 10version.t (Out of memory!) so CPAN.pm does not get installed, we have to use a very old CPAN.pm which cannot install current CPAN::Reporter and cannot run distroprefs. So it asks all the questions that we had so happily eliminated. Some time ago I had always used the very current CPAN.pm from the repo for running the binary searches. Maybe I should switch back to that? Notest is your friend! First we check if we are below patchlevel 23023. Then we check if we are below 1.8802. If so, we install 1.8802 so that we get at "notest". Then we install current version with the help of notest. Fini. Now it flies again. * SADAHIRO/ShiftJIS-X0213-MapUTF-0.30.tar.gz might also be a candidate, or with the same history pattern: SADAHIRO/ShiftJIS-CP932-MapUTF-1.01.tar.gz Let's try with ShiftJIS::X0213::MapUTF This became a BBC article on 2007-06-05 * Time-HiRes-Value-0.04 has an unreproducable test failure. make[3]: Entering directory `/home/sand/.cpan/build/Time-HiRes-Value-0.04-GZ0nGl' PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p4tyIz4/perl-5.8.0@31330/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/01test......ok t/02timing.... # Failed test at t/02timing.t line 19. # got: '' # expected: '1' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 2. dubious ^ITest returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) DIED.

So no, it is not a candidate, it is simply broken by some dependency and RT shows it and cpantesters has plenty of indicators.

SWALTERS/B-Generate-1.06_1.tar.gz But it doesn't work on bleadperl either. The BBC article about ABERGMAN's 1.06 pointed to bleadperl@22315. New binary search needs a little help to get a proper result. Old CPAN and CPAN::Reporter get in the way. Upgrade.

There are three envariables to turn on debugging and I can add code to use them. But where does the server log its problems? The code hints at syslog but maybe user sand cannot do that? The stupid thing is that Perlbal cannot do something but all it complains about is "Configuration error". Currently 1.58 does that for both 23023 and 31199. And 20002. And 16961. Maybe it is trivial, something with /tmp and permissions? All I need is the real reason for the error. Finally a brilliant idea: make testdb TEST_FILE=t/10-testharness.t DB<9> n ERROR: Modification of a read-only value attempted at blib/lib/Perlbal/TCPListener.pm line 51. Configuration error at blib/lib/Perlbal/Test.pm line 132. Which leads me to a line where a fields object gets reblessed: 51 bless $self, ref $class || $class; So same problem as in Danga::Socket and I can fix that. But before that I should have a look at a rebless module. Yes, a dozen spots where a fields object gets reblessed. Then this: crash log: Attempt to access disallowed key 'last_request_time' in a restricted hash at blib/lib/Perlbal/ClientProxy.pm line 90, line 1. Now only 32-selector.t fails.

Koenig * PETDANCE / Test::WWW::Mechanize 1.12 is failing all the time. There is a cleanup routine that kills the server without further diagnostics. The reason why this cleanup is called prematurely is "Can\'t locate Encode/ConfigLocal.pm in @INC" what I found out by running through the debugger. Called at Encode.pm line 53 !!! 50 our %Encoding; 51 our %ExtModule; 52 require Encode::Config; 53 eval { require Encode::ConfigLocal }; Is this a $^S issue? Yes, as already reported by mark@blackmans.org in https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26602 * top failing module today is MARKSTOS/CGI-Session-4.20. Does not sound familiar. But in fact it failed all runs since 30977, both maint and blead. I have already reported to cpantesters but most reports were PASS. ARRRG, this is the annoying circular data structures problem in JSON::Syck. We seem to have a negative dependency on JSON::Syck. But as we always install it because it comes with YAML::Syck we see the negative report always. And now I discover that there is a 4.20_1 since last November. But it fails at the same test. * 26664 is reopened by Marek and he asks for a chmod before running patch. I'd think we should chmod selectively. * Jifty caused a hang in the test suite again. I solved it the same way as the other times but this time I had to kill an additional ptee process which apparently was still waiting. Frightening. * B::Generate seems to be broken. It was also already broken at 23023 which is my first intermediate point to base binary searches on because it is faster than 20002. And the interval [20002,23023] is it. ----Program---- eval q{use B::Generate 1.06}; print $@ ?

It is OK on maint and fails on blead since 30950 (the earliest I have ATM). But 23023 fails the same way. So we slip into the [22682,22741] interval and binary search starts building new old perls.

The test always says: "Your Perl can't be patched by Devel::Command" It's about the debugger and Module::Pluggable is involved but the README does not talk about what these perldb extensions are. All manpages also refuse to talk about what they do. They point at each other and talk about how they do it but not what *it* is. Weird. * Sam Tregar has not only XML::Validator::Schema in the problem zone but also DBIx-Timeout. The former has got a BBC article on P5P: http://groups.google.de/group/perl.perl5.porters/browse_frm/thread/a35e0d07783e6aee/3506f54c43a8b6aa?lnk=gst&q=sam+tregar&rnum=9&hl=de#3506f54c43a8b6aa But the latter? It is on my radar since 20070414T2030 and has always failed since. Ah, that's easy, it needs a DBI DSN. For some reason it believes that it can connect to mysql.

Koenig * Perlbal 1.57 maybe needs a binary search although I have mixed success in maintperl. But I have never success on blead with "configuration error". The failure with maint@31100 is always in t/17-webserver-concat and repeating the test several times does not change that. maint@30961 exposes the same failure and an additional one in 15-webserver. maint@30765 has the one in 17 only. maint@30588 succeeds. maint@30210 again has failure in 15 but not the one in 17. When I repeated the test it succeeded. _S_IFMT and S_IFDIR and S_IFREG are involved in the failure in the 17X test. http://groups.google.de/group/perl.perl5.porters/msg/d65da80913cff3ff where Alex Tourbin posts 'fixed Fcntl::S_IFMT() breakage introduced by change 30674 (blead 26701)' Aha. So this is it and the chapter is not yet closed. To run a binary search we probably must exclude the flaky test 15x. And then 45x and 12x turn out to be flaky as well. Does not work out. The root seems to be older than 20000 and then LWP failures masq the Perlbal failures. I must come up with a bit phantasy. * RMUHLE/classes-0.943.tar.gz needs a binary search It turns out that the test results are only negative when Test::Exception is installed, otherwise they are OK. So to run a binary search one would have to install Test::Exception and uninstall all instances of classes.pm we have at the moment. Hrmmmm. Well, when I take 5.8.8 and install Test::Exception and then test classes.pm it succeeds. I removed all installed classes.pm under blead and started a binary search with @22323 as lower boundary. 20002 was unsuited because it took so long to compile zlib stuff and then fail. But 22323 suffers from the same problem. But then, we're through, it is suited for this binary search run.

(in cleanup) Permission denied at /home/sand/.cpan/build/Apache-Session-1.82-jeBTMQ/blib/lib/Apache/Session/Lock/Semaphore.pm line 92. When I run the same test as user k it works. The IPC::Semaphore manpage says: If you get an invalid argument message, that usually means that the system is unhappy with the number of semaphores that you requested. Try decreasing the number of semaphores. The semaphore blocks that this package creates are persistent until the system is rebooted, so if you request 8 sempahores one time and 16 sempahores the next, it won't work. Use the system commands ipcs and ipcrm to inspect and remove unwanted semphore blocks. Let's do that!... Done and now Apache-Session passes all tests and report is written to cpantesters. Phew! Apologies for the bogus report if anybody reads this. 2007-05-07 Andreas J. Koenig * SWF-Builder now probably nailed with http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26971 * Todo: write a distropref for CPANPLUS with a goto 1.79_01. 2007-05-06 Andreas J.

But why on maint? This was a dependency on the (then) broken CPANPLUS. And why do I have no maint result since then? Because CPANPLUS is still recursively dependent on itself. * ROBM/Cache-FastMmap-1.14.tar.gz came under the wheels: 20070417T1509 perl 30970 583 OK 20070418T2250 perl 30977 424 NOT OK http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26951 One should really run the whole megainstall with a random userid to find more of these bugs. 2007-05-05 Andreas J. Koenig * Jarkko's Graph is now seismograph and consistently failing apparently starting with 31105. But there was another interval where it failed! That interval started with 31079: ----Program---- eval q{use Graph 0.81}; print $@ ?

But 31105 is an impossible candidate for a breaker.

This makes perl 3K smaller with -Os on x86 FreeBSD, and might also help on other architectures (eg with 8 contiguous bits, the SvOK() test on ARM won't need an intermediate constant). 2007-05-04 Andreas J. Koenig * Gtk2 has the dependency ExtUtils::Depends as I discovered today and then Glib.pm. Both not mentioned in the prereq decl or maybe mentioned in the Makefile.PL but PREREQ_FATAL is set and MakeMaker still does not let me override it. A small patch now at least lets me install the prereqs and demonstrates nicely that configure_requires is really needed. Annoyingly it says *** can not find package gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 *** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH at Makefile.PL line 69 And I cannot find out which package I have to install on debian and I remember that on previous occasions I did not find out the problem either. The message above comes from ExtUtils::PkgConfig. Maybe it is broken? Maybe I must remove libgtk 1.2 first? Nope. Test program insists: % /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p2VJt9O/perl-5.8.0@31136/bin/perl -le ' use ExtUtils::PkgConfig; $package ="gtk+-2.0"; %pkg_info = ExtUtils::PkgConfig->find ($package); ' *** can not find package gtk+-2.0 *** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH at -e line 4 I put the patch into the patches directory and give up for now. * make a release for Adam and send it to him before actually releasing (because I broke pip) * Net::Libdnet on debian needs to change d to dumb in two spots: Libdnet.xs must say include dumbnet.h and Makefile.PL must say -ldumbnet. That runs all tests OK. That should be wrapped into a DEFINE. * Nothing TODO: Event 1.08 broken in blead. It's just the test suite, not Event itself. It was discussed on P5P. 2007-05-03 Andreas J. Koenig * XML::Validator::Schema fails tests. Binary search points to 29118. Repeating the binary search with different starting points * disabled modules get no "markup" in the output to split them out of the logfile. * 2688{4,6} by Matthias. Complicated materiel from a scriptwriter who needs cleanup help for build_dir. Maybe we should make build_dir_reuse mandatory too. 2007-05-02 Andreas J. Koenig * Last run had a lot of fails but it seems the first failure was due to a timeout (DBI), the others were just dependency traps. The batch job running colorout-to-dir.pl apparently drew too many ressources. I've added a sleep. 2007-05-01 Andreas J. Koenig * The UTF-8 HOWTO is by Bruno Haible. Markus Kuhn wrote http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html which is a FAQ. The latter contains 'How should the UTF-8 mode be activated?' * Todo: Jesse Vincent #26840 2007-04-30 Andreas J. Koenig * Locale::TextDomain: I realize now that the results are mixed. One NOT OK between 4 or 5 OKs. So there's something very fishy going on. * Theoretical prereq bug needs testing: "test" must ask for "available" modules (which includes the part coming from PERL5LIB), but "install" must ask for "installed" modules (but this only for requires, not for build_requires). * Bug: patch(1) does not understand --fuzz everywhere as reported by MAREKR in https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26664 Need a module or better probing. * http://use.perl.org/comments.pl?threshold=0&mode=nested&commentsort=0&op=Change&sid=35312 Barbie asks for getting CPAN.pm support into CPAN::YACSmoke * parrot should be advised on a group account on pause. 2007-04-29 Andreas J.

Why 4 times? First time during make because I forgot to set PERL_AUTOINSTALL=--skip. It seems to choose CPANPLUS to do the job, maybe because I have set CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING? CPANPLUS then runs make test on Params::Util twice. Then CPANPLUS gives up with *** Params::Util installation cancelled. *** Module::AutoInstall installation finished. Then CPAN.pm reaches 'make test' and Module::Autoinstall or something is called again from the Makefile and CPANPLUS runs the test on Params::Util twice again just to reach the same conclusion. The regression in blead is reported to P5P. The thing with Module::Install has no place where it should be directed. Rantbox? * The kwalify test also fails on 5.8.0 with YAML 0.39. Which YAML has my 5.6.2? None, only YAML::Syck 0.84 which was a regression. Trying to compile 0.85 fails already during its own tests on 5.6.2. 0.82 ditto. So is it time to install 0.85 with force? Yes, but with this the test in 12cpan still fails. Maybe I should ask the question the other way round. If we downgrade YAML to 0.39, can we then reproduce the bug with 5.9.5?

Koenig * Todo: write a script that finds the distros in my local installation that have no reports on cpantesters yet. I suppose YACSmoke could do that. * Close to 700 now: "Found 1238 old builds, restored the state of 691" 2007-04-14 Andreas J. Koenig * Offtopic: Marc's patch for pack 'C' applied on top of 30952. Path: installed-perls/perl/pFvwf7I/perl-5.8.0@30952 * Coro: in the logfile for 30943 I see that Coro did not build and did not install Coro::Event. Consequently, Continuity failed its tests. What might be the reason? On later retry, Coro built and installed both Coro and Coro::Event. Seeing the prereqs NOW, they contain 'AnyEvent' => '2.51', 'Event' => '1.06', 'IO::AIO' => '2.3', 'Scalar::Util' => '0' And here is the relevant output of Marc's Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite AnyEvent 2.51 not found. Warning: prerequisite Event 1.06 not found. Warning: prerequisite IO::AIO 2.3 not found. *** Event not found, not build Event support. This seems like a bug to me. He should ask if Event support is wanted and if yes, make Event a prerequisite. At least from my point of view he should do so. It has already lead to a wrong bugreport by chris on cpantesters. And I have now written to Marc (with CC cpantesters) if he would change things accordingly). Miscommunication happened and so I need to give up:-( * Locale::TextDomain needs a binary search. Yay, the first one for a long time that goes back before 20000. We are compiling perls in the [16904,17122] interval! Ouch: 16916, 16951, 16953, 16991, 17022, 17058, 17075 do not want to be compiled! This needs more attention. Yes, it's DB_File that fails nowadays with these old perls. And we always used -Ui_db. For binsearchaperl the full argument then is --config="-Dinstallusrbinperl=n -Uversiononly -Doptimize=-g -des -Duse64bitint -Dusedevel -Ui_db" ----Program---- eval {require Locale::TextDomain}; print $@ ?

Berry" Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 16:22:40 -0500 Message-Id: Impossible. This patches a test file in core perl, this cannot have consequences on user code. So it's likely to depend on a module. diff -u =(sort /home/k/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2007_04_14_00.pm) =(sort /home/k/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2007_04_14_01.pm) | less Nothing obvious. So let's study the test itself. It's about how the Austrians say to the month February. Why on earth is 16904 able to dig that word "Feber" out of the locale system but 16905 not? The files that contain "Feber" are specifically being delivered by Locale::TextDomain, so seem not dependent on my Linux version or the state of my locale installations. https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=libintl-perl is empty. So if I cannot find a negative module dependency, it's something in perl? Wow: my 16904 was compiled on Gentoo! But comparing the configs does not reveal anything yet. Maybe it helps to run the same program in two debuggers step by step? One day has passed and when I retry today in a fresh directory, then both 16904 and 16905 succeed on this test while 30952 fails. Heisenbug? I'll start with a new binary search. Apparently I did something wrong yesterday. I realize comments in the test output that escaped me yesterday. The new test script filters those comments out (t04find_domain_bug.t). With this I'm told that 29052 succeeds but 29053 fails with an Assertion failure. I rerun with new boundary and now the assertion failure did not go away up to 29543 and 29544 was then failing on the 04find_domain_bug.t. So this seems more logical and proves yesterday's recherche was bogus, most probably not a Heisenbug. Update 2007-05-05 akoenig: Locale::TextDomain succeeded @31148! 2007-04-13 Andreas J.

As a consequence I get a "maint" and a "perl" versions of 30941 which seems pretty uniq afair. Need to further investigate. * Hatena::Keyword seems to need a binary search: maint@30874 is "OK", blead isn't. But the search cannot start with 20002 because prereq Jcode fails there. Need to add Cache::File to the prep script because it is an undecl prereq (already reported as https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23684). blead@23963 is fine with Jcode and H:K.

So this binary search was worthless. I think we must now find out when XML::RPC started working again. Please do not confuse XML::RPC and RCP::XML! But it's strange anyway because both modules run and install well under 23964. Now, when I retry the very first binarysearch, it says both 23983 and 30943 fail. Cool. So we need 23964 against 23983? Yes, on retry, 23964 succeeds and 23983 fails. And the new binary point of balance is 2396[45]! When I now apply this balance point against 99999 via RPC::XML, then ***lots*** of compiling, testing, and installing is being done. And we "jump" to what? 29099/29100, such a wide jump! But it has to do with LWP that RPC::XML does not even build. Apparently is LWP an undeclared configure_requires (which is not even implemented yet). When I add LWP to the prep-RPC-XML.pl script? Then both 23965 and 30943 work and there is no binary search. But if I now add both LWP and RPC::XML, in that order, to the prep-Hatena-Keyword.pl? 23965 succeeds and 30943 fails and binary search starts. When we reach [24003,24023] it needs to build perls. ----Program---- eval q{use Hatena::Keyword 0.04}; print $@ ?

Which module represents MIME-tools? -- MIME::Body Which perls between 30000 and 30900 have MIME::Body installed? -- 30383, 30384, 30388, 30391, 30392, 30393, 30394, 30399, 30402, 30405, 30408, 30413, 30414, 30415, 30418, 30419, 30420, 30884, 30888, 30898 Which logfiles have been written for those versions? -- 30383=>20070223T2127, 30384=>20070224T1000, 30388=>20070224T1500, 30391=>20070224T1957, 30392=>20070225T0045, 30393=>20070225T0524, 30394=>20070225T1622, 30399=>20070225T2121, 30402=>20070226T0344, 30405=>20070226T0904, 30408=>20070226T1412, 30413=>20070226T1902, 30414=>20070227T0414, 30415=>20070227T1355, 30418=>20070227T1856, 30419=>20070227T2342, 30420=>20070228T0417, 30884=>20070410T1050, 30888=>20070410T1614, 30898=>20070410T2143 The large gap after 30420 jumps into my eyes. What was the next logfile after that? And for which patch? -- 20070228T1244 for 30428 And the last before 30844? -- 20070409T1809 for 30875 Did the tests in the succeeding runs really succeed on Entity.t or did they probably skip it? -- All of above cited successful tests were reported as "....ok" for Entity.t. All others complained "Can't locate Mail/Internet.pm in @INC". I should point out that I had banned Mail::Internet from being installed most of the time. So which versions of MIME::Body and Mail::Internet did gain the cited successes above? -- MIME::Body was always 5.42. For Mail::Internet it was from 30383 up to 30420 the module version 1.74 and from 30884 up to 30898 it was 1.76. Would you mind installing Mail::Internet and MIME::Body for 30428 and report? -- For Mail::Internet CPAN.pm chose MARKOV/MailTools-1.76.tar.gz to install and it succeeded. For MIME::Body it chose DSKOLL/MIME-tools-5.420.tar.gz and it succeeded. Would you do the same for 30875? -- I did with the same result. * Algorithm::Partition comes with a test "99-kwalitee". use Test::More; eval { require Test::Kwalitee; Test::Kwalitee->import }; plan( skip_all => 'Test::Kwalitee not installed; skipping' ) if $@; Ha, what a gem I haven't noticed yet! * Mail::Send has a new release and I just used it to report its own test with 30898 and another one for Continuity. We'll have to check for success later. -- No success. * make test on DSKOLL/MIME-tools-5.420.tar.gz goes into a fast endless loop today with blead@30900. We have already 30902 but it seems unrelated. t/Entity............Use of uninitialized value within %INC in pattern match (m// ) at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p7R8oCc/perl-5.8.0@30900/lib/ site_perl/5.9.5/Mail/Field.pm line 114.

The last perl before 30900 was 30898 which installed MIME-tools just fine. I built an autobundle snapshot from 30900 and another from 30898. Of course the latter is much bigger because it was not stopped by an endless loop. So the diff is unbalanced. Snapshot_2007_04_11_0[01].pm The only version difference is in Tk::Tree, impossible that it has an influence. 2007-04-10 Andreas J.

FIXED in SVK rev. 2187 or so. * Nice to have: serialization needs to be able to deal with JSON et.al. too. * LWP::UserAgent usage is not centralized, several spots of copy&paste. 2007-04-07 Andreas J. Koenig * Nice to have: an overview over the neuralgic patches up to 5.10 that broke XS modules with both links to patches, versions of the modules before and after the fix, error messages, etc. This would help people who have a broken XS module to find the quickest fix. * Bug: we scan the cache for sizes, then sort by date, then delete. We should first sort by date, then scan for sizes, then start to remove without scanning as soon as we know we are above the limit. * Maybe add a depends keyword to distroprefs because the number of missing dependency declarations in modules does not decrease despite all the bug reports we have sent out. * As soon as we support bz2 we must have an implicit dependency on packages Compress::Bzip2 whenever we want to untar such a thing. * For the Todo from David Golden: On installation of a distribution, check %INC for modules in that distribution. If found, warn the user and suggest that they call "reload cpan" at the prompt. Very good idea. But I had to answer: But it will need some refinement because the 'reload cpan' command only checks for a static list of modules. It's in my Todo file now and will be dealt with after 1.90. Maybe we just reload whatever we have loaded at the moment? Dangerous? How to render the process that is now already quite loud? * HTML::CalendarMonth is failing but the error output is really large. I just tried to report() it and must check later if the mail actually arrived. --- It seems this report never arrives. * Todo(???): introduce --notest and --force, etc. I'm not fond of it but Slaven has observed that two users expected it would work that way. * off topic: replace "falling" with "decreasing" where appropriate * off topic: Richard's talk about debugger brings me the idea to patch it to support saving of terminal history. I started implementing it and then lost track of my changes. Now in k75:/home/src/perl/perl5db/ Patch sent in but Richard would like to get the default behaviour being to write the histfile. * bring the FirstTime dialogs into POD and back * somebody reports that RT does recursion. But what is the driving module for RT? RSPIER/Bundle-RT-0.030601.tar.gz ? No, this will only tell CPAN to install "most of RT's dependent modules". Not RT itself. --> this needs a bugreport. * wishlist Mark Overmeer: less output * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daJ1Hs_y738 screencast hint from Juergen Christoffel * http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=25223 contact brian * offtopic: Perl::Repository::APC needs a doc patch that it doesn't work on case insensitive file systems. * Todo: write one of the CircDepe distros new to include version number(s) in prerequisites, especially undef. * Bug report/feature request from David Cantrell via David Golden: report shall only report on what-I-say, but not on the prerequisites. I have answered and I am not yet sure I want to go down that route. This muddies the waters. If we only report on things on the commandline, we can probably not get 'report Bundle::Spd' or 'Bundle::CPANxxl' to work properly? Well, maybe we can. We just have to try. And when? Before the release? I'd also need input from David because I could easily break his intentions. * Musing: when we some day optimize for the best CPAN mirror we shall learn from bittorrent and consider that the index file problem is separated from the rest of CPAN. And that we can fetch older files from everywhere but younger files only from hosts being fresh enough. * Next biggies: mod_perl, Subversion * Feature request by self: The bad performance of YAML.pm seems to be a showstopper. YAML.pm needs to be banned or disabling of YAML operations should be possible, don't know exactly how. * IAMCAL/XML-Parser-Lite-Tree-0.03.tar.gz fails when called early, succeeds when called late? Yes, this is the case. Because X:P:L:T depend on XML::Parser::Lite. PAUSE has indexed BYRNE/SOAP/SOAP-Lite-0.60a.tar.gz for that, but I have disabled the installation of this distro, so we fail quickly with a missing dependency. But during megainstall somebody installs X:P:L 0.65_3 and solves the problem for X:P:L:T. So who is it? With locate I find this: % ls -l /home/ftp/pub/PAUSE/authors/id/H/HE/HEX/XML-Parser-Lite-0.66.tar.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 4388 Jan 31 13:53 /home/ftp/pub/PAUSE/authors/id/H/HE/HEX/XML-Parser-Lite-0.66.tar.gz But when going through the logfile, I find that SOAP-Lite-0.69 has installed it. Is my logfile the only one who knows who installed what? What a sad story. It's getting even worse when we realize that nobody discovers who overwrote which previous version! I must ask HEX if this is all as intended. DONE. We should also institutionalize a place where FAILED reports of the PAUSE indexer are directed to. We receive 3 every day and nobody cares about them, not even the authors. I also need to understand how I can speed up Gnus on large, rarely visited mailboxes. It is extremely slow on my pause mailbox and I cannot simply catchup on that as I do with the lookslikespam mailbox. And how do I deal with the X:P:L:T dependency in exactly this situation? It's not a goto. We need to patch up the dependency: instead of X:P:L it would have to be BYRNE/SOAP-Lite-0.69.tar.gz for now. But this would have to be removed as soon as HEX gets the index entry. Well, I think we have to pass on this one. Pity. And we have a similar issue with Flickr::API which also depends on XML::Parser::Lite::Tree (but which still fails tests, even if we resolve the X:P:L dependency). I think it's best described as a pseudo dependency. It depends on a thing that is contained in another but this other thing hides this (with the underscore in the version number). As was the case before we had distroprefs, externally known dependencies are best handled by bundle files. My "bundle file" here is the MEGA_INSTALL macro in my Makefile.PL. I simply add SOAP::Lite _before_ Plagger. * Feature request by self: "o conf init ~" Should only try to talk about uninitialized or undefined config variables. (?) Tried it and it was much more work than expected, giving up. For a future reference, see the lines around C< $matcher eq "~" > in FirstTime.pm * TTL stuff * retry to run under Devel::Cover and actually read the results. * Feature: make the FTPstats max counter settable. * make _get_urllist a public method for Randy. * Write manpage for CPAN::HandleConfig, esp load(). * I realize that CPAN::FTP::localize is undocumented and is what Randy wants. * Integrate hosts into $META like authors, distributions, and modules? If we're cautious, this might turn into an automatic optimization. If Coro does index downloads for us, we do not have to fear slow connections and can gather better data. * Guessing of -p0/-p1 for patch maybe wrong if the patch tries to create a new file against, say, /dev/null. * Would be nice: integrate the config variable name into the init dialogs such that one has a chance to learn their names over time. * Would be nice: 'o conf /check/' to list all variables matching a regex. * Todo: offer the choice between (readline) Gnu and Perl and Coro. See my trials in the bin/ directory (SVN only). Possibly this is done via envariables? Then we only should document it. * Mail::Send problem persists that Test::Reporter's mails do not arrive when sent with Mail::Send but do when sent with Net::SMTP (IIRC). In any case I must disable installation of Mail::Send somehow or debug. Test::Reporter has got a wish item via RT already some weeks ago. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=13836 http://code.google.com/p/test-reporter/ * if we make the TTLs setable, maybe we should make the TTL for CHECKSUMS file too. In any case we have the problem of imacat also when the TTL of the local copy of the CHECKSUMS file has not yet been reached! * Coro. See also notes below, search for anyevent * The first thing that I encounter when I start testing instead of installing things is that test doesn't stop when the installed version is higher than or equal to the CPAN version. Ilya invented for that test_uptodate?? * replace 03 index file with YAML. * Looks like a bug to me what I find in Bundle-SZABGAB-0.01.yml: CONTAINSMODS is empty because Gabor has a distro in the bundle. * Todo: clean up "XXX" in the code * M2 (Wishlist) separate the TTLs for 01,02,03. If somebody asks 'a FOO', we should only check for the authors database, etc. * E1 Todo: use 00whois.xml instead of mailrc, and follow the UTF-8 HOWTO to get rid of the term_is_latin variable. Test output with locales. * H4 branch 1.87-dbmdeep-hackery revive? It was very broken but I do not remember details. Hint: DBM::Deep promises significant memory savings and in that branch we tried to see how it can be made to work for us. * M3 RT 17353: Flag outdated CPAN sites and move them to the end of the list when they have reached 291 hours. (Note: $CPAN/authors/02STAMP) * E1: revisit rev 158:159, the introduction of "recent" and "perldoc". #21791 has its bugreport. I don't like that most of the subroutines are thrown into CPAN::Distribution either. OTOH, we have commands that have no central role within CPAN. One can always refuse to use them. Hrm. HTML::Display! * E5: (again and again) verify that the CPAN.pm-using modules continue to work: DMUEY/AltaVista-BabelFish MSCHILLI/CPAN-Unwind ULPFR/CPAN-WAIT RJRAY/Devel-Modlist SMUELLER/PAR-Dist-FromCPAN DAGOLDEN/Perl-Dist CRAKRJACK/Test-CPANpm DONE (added most of them to MEGA_INSTALL) * E5 watch RT for open tickets. This todo can never be closed. * E1 Todo: continue to close the Pod::Coverage gap. Currently only CPAN.pm is covered * E3 Todo: write a test for dot-cpan/Metadata usage. Hmmm. Important for the future of locking, the future of DBM::Deep, protocol changes. Not sure what to test. * M3 Todo: investigate what BUGHUNTING in Tarzip means "today": it's about a very old bug in Archive::Tar that is most probably fixed. Turn bughunting on with the command C< !print$CPAN::Tarzip::BUGHUNTING=1 >. It is slow but everything should just plain work. When we're confident that everything works, we could offer a tar_policy option that has options "ext" and "mod", for external programs vs. modules, default to "ext"? * M3 Reopened Bug: it seems that a user who is in /bin and has "." in the beginning of the path gets ./sh as his shell from FirstTime. If we encounter . in the path we should rather ignore it. But first we must verify the behaviour. Reported by Slaven Rezic on behalf of Tino Schulze. This has nothing to do with -I. but only with the shell and $ENV{PATH} and as we do not know which shell it was it seems we cannot test for the problem. * H1 These days developer TELS posted to perl5-porters that his newest release is available at http://bloodgate.com/perl/packages/devel/Math-BigInt-1.78.tar.gz Suddenly it dawned on me that I want to support install http://bloodgate.com/perl/packages/devel/Math-BigInt-1.78.tar.gz What am I missing? The other commands dealing with files would have to learn a bit. d http:// # fails as before with "No objects of...." # alt: does a HEAD and tells user that the URL can e reached ls http:// # lists nothing # alt: says that ls doesn't support URLs get http:// # this is probably all we need to implement. Maybe a new # class needed that does as_string and as_glimpse as well? And maybe a pragma that turns this feature on? So that 'get http://...' never works but 'force get http://...' does? Alt: config variable to turn feature on, then a separate module that implements it.

Koenig * looping in installation: Dist-DCC (DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese-0.05.tar.gz) install() calls test which calls make. This encounters 4 prereq (DES, DEC, DUAM, DUAC). The first two of those have already failed tests but we continue anyway. The other two are re-queued, the "later" flag on D is set. So we leave make/test/install early due to the later flag. As soon as we hav left the first position of the queue, the later flag is cleared. DUAM quickly decides that it is already installed. DUAC ditto. Dist-DCC is now again the first on the queue. It calls install/test/make again. Look, the later flag is cleared already, so nothing prevents us from looping through. So the bug seems to be that we rely on the module installation of DUAM and DUAC to recognisably either fail or succeed. But DUAM and DUAC seem to be not installed and installed at the same time. The Moon.pm and Common.pm files are found, their versions are considered "undef". But the distro they are in, Dist-DUA-0.08 considers itself already installed. What has happened to it? Indeed I can see that Dist-DUA-0.08 has been installed. Why do we not recognize their installed version? $VERSION = $DateTime::Util::Astro::VERSION; So this is the root cause. The PAUSE indexer somehow determined 0.04 being the version. One bug must have happened over there. But we should not run into a loop just because of this. Until recently we broke out of this loop because we set and consulted is_tested. But this left us in the is_tested state leading to the "Prepending" bug. As we now (correctly) reserved the is_tested/is_installed stuff exclusively for the task of prepending to PERL5LIB, we now need something similar for finer control over prereq menagement than "later" and undelay provide. I do not want to use "later" for this because it already does something OK and needs a short lifespan. (For the record: leave test and install early when we discover that we have to deal with prereqs first). But now the first thing I need is a recipe how to reproduce the loop bug: new bleadperl + Bundle::CPANxxl. install DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese-0.05.tar.gz triggers many installs and soon fails nicely with DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese-0.05.tar.gz ./Build test -- NOT OK Running Build install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force Failed during this command: DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08.tar.gz : make_test NO DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.09.tar.gz : make_test NO DMAKI/DateTime-Event-Lunar-0.05.tar.gz : make_test NO DMAKI/DateTime-Event-SolarTerm-0.04.tar.gz : make_test NO DMAKI/DateTime-Event-Chinese-0.04.tar.gz : make_test NO DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese-0.05.tar.gz : make_test NO So mayby with the advent of DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.09.tar.gz the loop is gone? Looking into the distro I find the $VERSION = $DateTime::Util::Astro::VERSION; dictum in all files, so the saga continues. Maybe I can reproduce the bug if I disable 0.09? No. If instead I "goto(0.08)" and turn build_dir_reuse off? No. If I manually set the $VERSION of DUAC and DUAM to undef? No. My current blead@30849 can reproduce the bug. Backup. On that perl installation it is enough to install DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese-0.05.tar.gz to enter the loop. The solution is the sponsored_modules attribute which is already used to prevent re-testing within one command. So now we prevent re-installing too. 2007-04-04 Andreas J. Koenig * with yesterday's fix DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08.tar.gz runs into an endless installation loop:-( 2007-04-03 Andreas J.

If for whatever reason we have another "test" after an "install", we enter is_tested again but do not leave it because install is "already done". What's the fix? Either do not enter again or always leave even when "already done". The former is not easy or even impossible because we never know that a distribution is already installed. We only know it for modules. So the second solution is the better. * CPANPLUS 0.78? Recursive dependency detected: CPANPLUS (have: N/A; want: 0.78) => KANE/CPANPLUS-0.78.tar.gz => CPANPLUS::Shell::Default (have: N/A; requires: 0.0) => KANE/CPANPLUS-0.78.tar.gz. Cannot resolve. Need to relax the dependency check for self? http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26077 * YAML::Tiny 1.04? Now that YAML::Syck is broken, YAML::Tiny tests also fail. It seems because they compare Syck with Tiny. * Try newer apache for mod_perl (Current is 1.3.37!) * Try out outline mode for Changes file * The "Prepending" bug: Prepending /home/k/.cpan/build/XML-LibXML-1.62-yZpjGO/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/XML-LibXML-1.62-yZpjGO/blib/lib /home/k/.cpan/build/Apache-Session-1.82-idoFjK/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/Apache-Session-1.82-idoFjK/blib/lib /home/k/.cpan/build/mod_perl-1.30-YPYnZK/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/mod_perl-1.30-YPYnZK/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'test' This gathering is always around more or less of the same modules. And today (megainstall.20070403T0058.out) I did not run a parallel shell session, so the problem builds up from some other forces. It started with mod_perl, then Apache-Session joined the club and then XML::LibXML. YAY, mod_perl is a real problem: installation fails because the apache part wants to install its deputies into /usr/local where I have no permissions. Need to revisit the parameters I can influence. So next problem child is Apache-Session. I find no line in the output (yet?) that would explain the problem but a suspect it's simply due to the mod_perl dependency. Nope. Only declared prereqs are requires: File::Temp: 0 Test::Deep: 0.082 Test::Exception: 0.15 Test::More: 0.47 ??? 2007-04-02 Andreas J.

It's a loop over 11 cases with 5 tests on each. We get one "ok" and the next line in the code is an is_deeply() which consumes memory until exhausted.

Are there google results on the error message "Tcl_InitNotifier: unable to start notifier thread"? Plenty.

Koenig * screencast still in idea stage: Slaven suggests to write an abstract widget as described in Tk::mega. This shall then use a text widget and only implement a few things like add_character, delay, add_line. Each shall then be passed through to the text widget. If our needs cannot be fulfilled by the text widget, we can still switch later to a canvas implementation. Further methods needed to make TAB behaviour visible. Both on capture and on output tricky. Does screen capture the TAB with its built-in? No. It's a drag. It turns me off. It seems the only software that does it right might be xterm itself? Ask Marc if rxvt can do it? DONE 2007-03-23 Andreas J. Koenig * rt.cpan.org #25627 is awaiting further thoughts. 2007-03-21 Andreas J. Koenig * I just discovered Term::ReadLine::Zoid by Jaap Karssenberg (PARDUS). It seems to work if the prompt is a string, it fails if it is an overloaded string. E.g.: PERL_RL=Zoid /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/p*/perl-5*@30598/bin/perl -Ilib -MCPAN -e 'shell("zoid> ")' CPAN: File::HomeDir loaded ok (v0.64) CPAN: Term::ANSIColor loaded ok (v1.11) cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.8879) ReadLine support enabled zoid> q Lockfile removed. But it starts in vi mode so immediately turns me off. PERL_RL=Zoid::Emacs works better. See also Zoidberg, the Perl shell. It seems to need a binary search. Or two! First it failed a test in blead which passes with ~29000. But with ~29000 it's misbehaving during installation because it wants to write to /etc/. Maybe a Module::Build problem. With ~23000 it is installable. Strange. After a few hours we reach the area 2809[45] and the diffs indicate that we must be chasing a red herring. Usually we detect this by removing the older of the two involved perls and restarting the binary search and then comparing the profile of installed modules and their versions near the old and the new borderline. As we have no idea which modules to watch we will have to use autobundle. 28094 succeeds, 95 fails. The patch 28095 is empty (!; see 28097 for some kind of explanation). The modules in the old (failing) 28095 are documented in Snapshot_2007_03_21_00.pm The first succeeding perl above 28094 is which? 28100 and its snapshot is Snapshot_2007_03_21_01.pm And the first that then fails again is 28101 and I have now to change one module after the other to find out which has a bug. The snapshot of the 101 is Snapshot_2007_03_21_02.pm.

When I go to the ~/.cpan/build/ExtUtils-Install-1.39_01 and call './Build install' then I see just this: Reading skip patterns from 'INSTALL.SKIP'. Writing /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pbN6H8H/perl-5.8.0@28100/lib/site_perl/5.9.4/i686-linux-64int/auto/ExtUtils/Install/.packlist I have to remove the INSTALL.SKIP file to install it. After that the installation finishes and I get 1.39_01.)] Downgrading to 1.39 makes it "work" again. When it comes by zoidrc it says: Skipping /etc/zoidrc (unchanged) Apparently I have this zoidrc since Feb 12 or somebody set the timestamp to that. The file belongs to me, so I would be able to overwrite it. The failure to install it is a bug in ExtUtils::Install since 1.39_01. http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=25627 What's noteworthy is that there seems to be no viable workaround short of patching Zoidberg. I cannot find a way to skip the installation step of etc/zoidrc. Not with "appdir", not with "distroprefs/*/commandline" where I tried to remove some files in the right moment, not with "||true" on the commandline because etc/zoidrc comes before the modules. Only thing is to disable all ExtUtils::Install after 1.39 and allow 1.39 and downgrade everywhere. But here my love to Zoidberg is not strong enough and I decide to wait for a new release of ExtUtils::Install. 2007-03-20 Andreas J. Koenig * Bug in perldoc when rendering S< > which is being used in Tk/pod/mega.pod. It seems the rest of the line is being lost or so. tkpod displays it correctly. * Todo: screencast into the distro. http://kubasik.net/blog/2006/12/04/finally-howto-screencast-on-linux/ http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/how-to-create-a-screencast-in-ubuntu/ I think I do not like these tools. They may be good for a YouTube video but for inclusion in the distro I want a text file that can be replayed, not a video. Tk, wx or curses. But maybe with sound. And of course, things that need just-in-time-explanation like "Watch now what happens when I hit TAB" or "see the result in slow motion now". It's probably much harder to produce such a beast than one would think on first sight. 2007-03-19 Andreas J. Koenig * Todo: fix wxWidgets to not download 20 MB every time I try to build it.

Koenig * Bug: when I ^C a job, then it seems that some "force" is kept around for the next command. We must clear all modules, distros and bundles from 'force' bits when we let a Signal interrupt us. I'm not actually sure this is what happened but I have the impression that it is possible. Or maybe we have a different bug. This is the command: fforce test DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Japanese-0.05.tar.gz requires DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Japanese-0.05.tar.gz This in turn DateTime::Util::Astro::Moon [requires] DateTime::Util::Calc [requires] DateTime::Util::Astro::Common [requires] DateTime::Event::SolarTerm [requires] DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08.tar.gz is the first one and it complains about Calc missing. DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Calc-0.13.tar.gz then complains about nothing, runs tests that fail for some reason. So we come back to Astro. This fails tests apparently because Calc is missing. So then we come to Calc again because it was on the list above. We fail the tests again, but I frankly do not understand why they are run at all. Normally we do not run a test twice within a single command. Then comes Astro again because of DateTime::Util::Astro::Common and fails again tests. Then we reach the last one on the list, SolarTerm. This again depends on Calc, so we build Calc again, fail, test SolarTerm, fail and ***finish***. So now my impression is that the setting of $xo->{make} might cause bad things to happen because we are not paying attention to the status of make/test/install before that, no? No, it's the fforce that make things so ugly. Because all parties inherit the fforce, they need to retest so often. So probably no bug at all, just ugly. CLOSED. * Bug: Recursive dependency detected: DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Japanese-0.05.tar.gz => DateTime::Calendar::Chinese (have: ; requires: 0.02) => DMAKI/DateTime-Calendar-Chinese-0.05.tar.gz => DateTime::Util::Astro::Moon (have: ; requires: >= 0.04) => DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08.tar.gz => Math::BigInt (have: 1.77; unknown status) => TELS/math/Math-BigInt-1.80.tar.gz => bignum (have: 0.17; requires: 0.19) => TELS/math/bignum-0.19.tar.gz => Math::BigInt (have: 1.77; requires: 1.79). Cannot resolve. All involved parties get the stigma of circular dependency. That seems wrong. Only Math::BigInt and bignum should get it. OK, I fixed this but now D:Event:SolarTerm, D:U:Calc, D:U:Astro, D:Event:Lunar somehow fall into a spiral of unresolvable dependecies and are never redeemed from it. No? Maybe I was just impatient. FIXED. * HTML::CalendarMonth is failing but the error output is really large.

Koenig * David Golden sends me a link to perlmonks http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=603402 It's about 1.8802.

Your choice: [] DESTDIR=/home/me/build/perl-addons/inst When he installs Params::Validate, it indeed gets installed into that directory but when he asks ! use Params::Validate; print "$Params::Validate::VERSION\n" he gets an error When he quits the shell and enters it again and repeats the command, it is OK.

Koenig * Oh Joy of having authors who carefully track the dependencies between their packages. bignum currently depends on Math::BigInt 1.79. But current version is 1.80. But Math-BigIng-1.80 depends on bignum 0.19. So if I have 1.77 I must first install 1.79, then I can install bignum and only then I can install BigInt 1.80. I'm sure some people will call it a bug that CPAN.pm is not able to install the old version 1.79 as a dependency of 1.80. 2007-03-04 Andreas J.

I only looked into RT too late:( 2007-03-03 Andreas J. Koenig * just sent a report about Exporter::Simple. Debugging shows that it was sent with Net::SMTP. Same for XML::Compile. Neither arrived at testers. Maybe I had a different smtp host then? I do not remember to ever have changed it. smtp_server=localhost We should try mx.develooper.com ? Tried that with Attribute::Util. Debugging says that it was sending to develooper. Or maybe I shouldn't have changed my email address? Changing back to andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de and reporting about UNIVERSAL::exports. YES, this was it. So I need to turn the clock back: I have not reported anything for quite a while:( * whats missing for this release? cpan -r bug report # mail to brian is on the way Jost's sun-solaris test # no idea what to do can we have RT # Bundle::RT is in and Tcl in megainstall # DONE * my internet access is broken at the moment. When it is back I need to answer two posts by Eric Wilhelm. * possible bug: when a distroprefs file has "match" but no valid keyword under match/, then it seems that it matches always instead of being rejected as invalid. We must make the one of the match subthingies mandatory. Need to study http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kwalify/users-guide.01.html for that when my internet is back. FIXED in svk rev. 2002 or so. 2007-03-02 Andreas J. Koenig * New FAILS from testers: Jost on Sun sees only 4 OKs in 30shell on solaris and a dubious. Slaven saw one test in 31sessions failing. The Slaven thing can be averted by taking out a piece of the "Expected" regexp. DONE For the failure on sun I need a different strategy.

Koenig * Tcl needs some attention to compile? NO 2007-02-26 Andreas J. Koenig * supposedly a bug: Slaven found both cpanconfig and cpan_config FIXED * todo: document match/perlconfig DONE 2007-02-24 Andreas Koenig * jochen stenzel asked me for a comparison of CPAN::Site and dot distributions or better said, a summary about the options we have today to support modules besides CPAN itself. My current favorite is to have all distros that are not on CPAN in a repository, check the repository out on the local disk, ideally always in the same path/location. Then write a Bundle file that contains all "root" directories of these non-distros and install the Bundle. (Note to self: need to write detailed instructions how to do all that). The advantage of this is that nobody needs to make releases, all code is checked out at any point in time and is current. If one needs to make sure that the software is in a stable state, this can be achieved with the options provided by the revision control software. The disadvantage of this method is that CPAN.pm knows nothing about the state of the distros, it just installs them and does not keep a record that it did so and cannot determine if there is a newer version. If you install the Bundle again immediately after you have installed, it just starts from the beginning again (rinse, repeat). I must try if 'cpan .' also works for a Bundle. I do not think it does. Then I must study how CPAN::Site works nowadays. The problem with that always was that it required manual work on the side of the maintainer of the additional repository. Of course, the ideal solution would be if CPAN.pm could just "subscribe" to any number of parallel Universes and then mix them with some algorithm (first wins; manual conflict resolution; etc.). Still, this would require skills on the side of the archive maintainers or muchly improved tools for them. pip by Adam Kennedy tries to solve the problem (I think) by injecting distros/tarballs into the author "LOCAL" directory. Simple quick solution but no integration into an index at all, so the same disadvantage as the dot distros (rinse,repeat) but with the additional (of course very minor) disadvantage that somebody must make releases, tar them together and then CPAN.pm has to unroll them again. 2007-02-20 Andreas J. Koenig * scripts installation broken. Tried it with pingomatic and keepcool. FIXED * when was notest introduced? In 1.80, December 2005. New features by Slaven this year are: 'cpan .', scripts, 'perl -I. -MCPAN' now works. * consider different sorting of directory listings. suggested by Slaven. REJECT 2007-02-19 Andreas J. Koenig * Chris has tested _76: twice OK, once NOT on 31sessions/28th test. * Chris has tested _75 and I can see that his shell says the unexpected 'Unknown shell command \'yes\'. Type ? for help. ' But the "yes" gets eaten earlier too Would you like me to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes] yes How can it happen that the yes is both consumed and still left over on the input? Now I have it! He must have set PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT!!!!!!!!! 2007-02-18 Andreas J. Koenig * I'm quite helpless with the 5 reports from chris. Apparently the output is from the command N-1 while the shell believes to test the command N. So the reason could be that the shell asks one more question to chris than to me. I have tried cpanplus with bleadperl on k75 cpanplus with 5.8.8 on k75 cpan with 5.8.6 on k78 cpan with 5.8.8 on dev05 cpan with 5.8.8 on playground cpan 1.7601 with 5.8.7 on k66 Ahh, the last one has lots of errors. But not the one that chris has. * last night Convert::PEM with 30342 went into an endless loop and filled the disk. Convert-PEM-0.07-Dlxs3I/ is left over, I had to remove the logfile but let's try if report can reconstruct. Of course not, because the yml file could not be written. Report starts in a new directory and succeeds within seconds. Visiting the left over directory from the nightly run also brings no evidence: tests run OK within seconds. Oh well. 2007-02-17 Andreas J. Koenig * testers has 5 nearly identical FAILS results on 1.88_74, all made with CPANPLUS 0.076, all from chris. The failure goes like this: # Failed test 'command[test CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make]' # at t/31sessions.t line 170. # ' patch [ ] # Please use 'o conf commit' to make the config permanent! # # ' # doesn't match '/t/00_load.+ok/' and I cannot imagine how this can happen. So I find myself using CPANPLUS for the very first time since ages. I type 'f Verilog::Languange' and CPANPLUS does not seem to answer ever. Oh well, after about two minutes it says 1 Verilog-Perl 2.361 WSNYDER 2 Verilog-Perl 2.371 WSNYDER Cool feature. I do the same for CPAN and they answer 1 CPAN 1.87 ANDK 2 CPAN 1.8869 ANDK 3 CPAN 1.8866 ANDK 4 CPAN 1.8872 ANDK 5 CPAN 1.8867 ANDK 6 CPAN 1.8864 ANDK 7 CPAN 1.8871 ANDK 8 CPAN 1.88 ANDK 9 CPAN 1.8865 ANDK 10 CPAN 1.8873 ANDK 11 CPAN 1.8874 ANDK 12 CPAN 1.8868 ANDK 13 CPAN 1.8801 ANDK 14 CPAN 1.8802 ANDK What a strange sorting! And where are the underscores? And when I say 'i 11' they say Installing CPAN *** Install log written to: /home/k/.cpanplus/install-logs/CPAN-1171719784.log Module 'CPAN' installed successfully No errors installing all modules This action took less than a second and I must open that logfile to find out that CPAN is already up to date (without version information). And above that I do have 1.8873 installed, not 1.8874 so why they do not install 1.8874 is not clear. But I can test 1.8874 ok and now I have again no idea why the 5 FAILS on testers. * Macbook compiles bleadperl@30032 with a horrible amount of test failures Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ../ext/Encode/t/Aliases.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/CJKT.t 255 65280 60 120 1-60 ../ext/Encode/t/Encode.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/Encoder.t 255 65280 516 1032 1-516 ../ext/Encode/t/Unicode.t 255 65280 37 74 1-37 ../ext/Encode/t/at-cn.t 255 65280 29 58 1-29 ../ext/Encode/t/at-tw.t 255 65280 17 34 1-17 ../ext/Encode/t/enc_data.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/enc_eucjp.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/enc_module.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/enc_utf8.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/encoding.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/fallback.t 255 65280 44 88 1-44 ../ext/Encode/t/from_to.t 255 65280 3 6 1-3 ../ext/Encode/t/grow.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/gsm0338.t 255 65280 21 42 1-21 ../ext/Encode/t/guess.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Encode/t/jperl.t 255 65280 15 30 1-15 ../ext/Encode/t/mime-header.t 255 65280 11 21 1-11 ../ext/Encode/t/mime_header_iso2022jp.t 255 65280 14 28 1-14 ../ext/Encode/t/perlio.t 255 65280 38 76 1-38 ../ext/Encode/t/utf8strict.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/01_load.t 255 65280 8 12 1-2 4-8 ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/02_function. 255 65280 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/03_class.t 255 65280 7 14 1-7 ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/04_thread.t 255 65280 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/05_perlhook. 255 65280 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/10_hash.t 255 65280 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/11_hashassig 255 65280 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Hash/Util/FieldHash/t/12_hashwarn. 255 65280 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Hash/Util/t/Util.t 255 65280 227 430 1-227 ../ext/PerlIO/encoding/t/nolooping.t 255 65280 1 2 1 ../ext/Storable/t/downgrade.t 255 65280 169 325 7-169 ../ext/Storable/t/restrict.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? ../ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t 4 1024 159 4 129-132 ../lib/Pod/Simple/t/corpustest.t 43 15 3 5 7 9 11 17 19 21 23 25 28 36 38 40 42 ../lib/base/t/fields-base.t 255 65280 29 20 20-29 ../lib/base/t/fields.t 255 65280 16 22 6-16 ../lib/encoding/warnings/t/4-lexical.t 3 1 2 comp/utf.t 2 512 15 30 1-15 io/layers.t 37 13 6 9-11 13 21 23-24 33-37 run/fresh_perl.t 94 1 94 uni/chomp.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? uni/chr.t 255 65280 6 12 1-6 uni/greek.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? uni/latin2.t 2 512 ?? ?? ?? uni/tr_7jis.t 255 65280 6 12 1-6 uni/tr_eucjp.t 255 65280 6 12 1-6 uni/tr_sjis.t 255 65280 6 12 1-6 uni/tr_utf8.t 255 65280 8 16 1-8 79 tests and 530 subtests skipped.

I must keep an eye on this but it is no showstopper. * Verilog-Perl a.k.a. Verilog::Language broke on patch 30044. The failure mode is that the modules themselves compile fine but the output of the compiled program 'vppp' differs from the expected one. UPLOAD_DATE 2007-01-23 Suspiciously young and the patch 30044 appeared on 27th. 91807 2006-10-02 WSNYDER/Verilog-Perl-2.361.tar.gz 93591 2007-01-23 WSNYDER/Verilog-Perl-2.371.tar.gz I repeat the binary search with nailed down version demand on Verilog::Language 2.371 to make sure that the first run was not trapped into a difference between the two versions. ... No, it's not a version trap. So I made my own 30333 where the sense of the ifdef is turned around to say the opposite. It seems to me this is the way it was intended. But no success. Even backing out 30044 does not help. Now I removed the whole installed 30333, reinstalled it with the backed out 30044 patch. (recompiled but not recompiled from scratch). As my first module I try Verilog and it fails. Now I recompile from scratch. 'make clobber' and start with ./Configure. 30044 is backed out. No, Verilog remains broken. This is impossible. Let me see 30043 again. Yes, it passes all tests. And when I now patch perl.h with 30044 straight forward and compile perl again and install it and then fforce test Verilog::Language? Then it too passes all tests! Does ./installperl not overwrite perl.h??? It does overwrite it. CCACHE to blame? No, CCACHE_DISABLE makes no difference. Something within Verilog must be broken too. It's a preprocessor. It may parse header files and draw conclusions. Let me repeat: 30043: ok 30044: not ok 30333: not ok Apply diff 43:44 to 30043: still ok apply diff 44:43 to 30333: still not ok So *something* between perl and Verilog does not notice the perl.h change and remains in the state it had on the very first compile. Maybe this something even survives make clobber. "regen" or some such? apply diff 44:43 to 30333 and regen: still not ok Remove the old 30044 and build one with buildaperl from scratch, no extra patching: 30044: ok !!!!! something must have gone wrong when building 30044 the first time, so the binary search went wrong too and I was hunting the wrong diff for many hours. Maybe there is still a race condition in binsearchaperl? Remember: if a binary search brings a result that raises doubts, remove both perls from installed-perls and their build directory as well and rerun the binary search. This is even true if there is NO race condition within binsearchaperl. It's always possible that some third party installed something that disturbs the binary search, like say Carp.pm So I start the next binsearch since 30044 now is OK and it diagnoses 3006{4,7} as the threshold and I decide immediately to remove 30067 to run the next binsearch. And it jumped only forward and decided now it would be between 3007[26]. It's very clear now that it is not bleadperl but some other module that is used by vppp. LATER. I must delay further analysis because this can take a long time. 2007-02-16 Andreas J. Koenig * Talk: convert a megainstall file to HTML with 
 and  and many anchors so that we can jump directly into it. Then
	make HTML slides that jump into that file and into the distroprefs files
	which may need converting too for best lettersize.

	Interestingly, when I do this, rendering of the resulting HTML file is
	too much work for my firefox on linux/Dell/500 MHz. The MacBook is
	several orders of magnitude faster but still a bit painful.

	* in the talk, compare dot distros with pip and Inject.

	* read CPAN::Inject and CPAN::Mini::Inject manpages

	straightforward and modest. No index support, so only distribution
	support.

	* read pip manpage:

	Wow: http://svn.phase-n.com/svn/cpan/trunk/pip invitation to write
	directly to it. But nobody gives me the clue howto follow this
	invitation. It *is* subversion. Ah, two levels higher we have the
	paragraph

	    To access the repositories above via Subversion, browse to the
	    location in the repository you want via your web browser and then
	    use that URL with your favorite Subversion client tool. You may
	    asked to enter your username and password for access to any
	    restricted repositories.

	Indeed, I can do

	    % svn co http://svn.phase-n.com/svn/cpan/trunk/pip/ ./

	and when I want to check in, it asks me for username and password. But
	it speaks only http, so no way to use that seriously. No contact address

	Typos: "is available is", "guarentee"

	Missing example of a p5i file in the manpage.

	Ahh, now I understand how it works. Authentication does not go via pause
	(I watched the logfile while logging in with wrong password) but every
	author must get a password from adam directly. So that's OK. It's just
	misleading to say

	    Write access to the repository is made available automatically to
	    any published CPAN author, and to most other volunteers on request.

This is the issue I was talking about before, with regards to mirror
changes.

We should probably always flush non-archival files when the mirror changes.

	* Bug: Template-Plugin-Number-Format-1.01 declares prerequisite
	Number::Format with version undef (real undef, not the String undef) and
	it does not get installed before the tests happen. I need a random perl

2007-02-08  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* CPAN::Inject fails with 5.8.9-tobe. I tend to believe this happens
	because 5.8.9 has 1.7602 and C:I needs 1.87. Now what is intimidating is
	that when I run under 1.88_73, then CPAN.pm refuses to install CPAN
	saying that it is up to date. While the installed CPAN.pm is outdated,
	the used CPAN.pm is really uptodate. Aha! force install at its best.

	* Feature request by self: The bad performance of YAML.pm seems to be a
	showstopper. YAML.pm needs to be banned or disabling of YAML operations
	should be possible, don't know exactly how.

	* Bug in patchaperlup: the 5.8.0/ directory is breaking concurrency.
	When a process untars a perl before the other one has moved to the
	File::Temp directory, it seems to overwrite something. Binary searches
	and the normal megainstall loop must not run at the same time!

	Fixed in APC revision 231

2007-02-06  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Bug: I have a tar ball of an already installed bleadperl@28095 with a
	certain mix of outdated modules. When I run upgrade with that perl on
	dev05, then it runs into:

  JPEACOCK/version-0.69.tar.gz
  ./Build test -- NOT OK
Warning (usually harmless): 'YAML' not installed, will not store persistent state
Running Build install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

Recursive dependency detected:
    Archive::Tar
 => K/KA/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.30.tar.gz
 => File::Spec
 => K/KW/KWILLIAMS/PathTools-3.24.tar.gz
 => Module::Build
 => K/KW/KWILLIAMS/Module-Build-0.2806.tar.gz
 => File::Spec.
Cannot continue.
Failed during this command:
 RKOBES/ExtUtils-Command-1.13.tar.gz          : make_test NO Test::Harness too old
 RKOBES/ExtUtils-Manifest-1.51.tar.gz         : make_test NO Test::Harness too old
 KWILLIAMS/ExtUtils-ParseXS-2.18.tar.gz       : make_test NO Test::Harness too old
 KWILLIAMS/PathTools-3.24.tar.gz              : make_test NO Test::Harness too old
 KWILLIAMS/Module-Build-0.2806.tar.gz         : make_test NO Test::Harness too old
 JPEACOCK/version-0.69.tar.gz                 : make_test NO

	As so often, we are missing the required version numbers in the
	dependency graph, so I must ask CPAN.pm manually.

    Archive::Tar
 => K/KA/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.30.tar.gz
 => File::Spec                                        # 0.82 but 3.18 is installed
 => K/KW/KWILLIAMS/PathTools-3.24.tar.gz
 => Module::Build
 => K/KW/KWILLIAMS/Module-Build-0.2806.tar.gz
 => File::Spec.

	Aha. This demonstrates that the recursive dependency detector calculates
	wrong. It does not seem to take into account the minimum required
	version number. Maybe this is all due to the Test::Harness anomaly?

	Can I shorten the path? Trying on k75. If I only ask for 'install
	Archive::Tar', what happens? It gets installed. Same for File::Spec.
	Same for Module::Build. Grrr. And when I say 'upgrade', then it does
	indeed upgrade? Because Expect is not installed we must answer the
	libnet question after a while (which surprises me because it is in
	DD_PREFS) and shortly after that we are facing the same output as
	described above.

	Can this situation then be reproduced after leaving CPAN.pm? Or do we
	have to start from the beginning? 'install version' just fails due to
	'qv.al' and such. The upgrade command now does not reproduce the above
	situation.

	Seems to be FIXED in SVK rev. 1865 or so. There was (1) a variable
	confusion: s/depth/color/ around line 8802 and (2) the need to pull the
	desired version number out again within color_cmp_tmps and to compare
	with what we have available at the moment. (3) we needed a way to
	withdraw quickly when we only set all commandcolors to 0. Not sure if we
	couldn't withdraw much quicker though: isn't recursion detection after
	the command has finished completely bogus? No, it is necessary because
	if we run into recursion it is no fun and we must break it.

	BTW, it's incredible how long it takes to upgrade 28095: more than 30
	minutes.

2007-02-05  Andreas J Koenig  

	* Important things I forgot in the talk paper (minus means already written):

	-degraded mode

	-mention 'cpan .', compare with pip and Inject stuff
	-mention yaml_module and YAML::Syck earlier

	* Got another mail from T. Need to close the issue. Better a WONTFIX
	than scenes like those we had on P5P at the end of the 90ies.

2007-02-03  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Feature request by self: introduce a lex TELS that ignores a failing
	Makefile.PL, declares the META.yml as authoritative (for lack of
	alternatives), and reruns the Makefile.PL; we should count how often we
	reran it and give it a final death shot after the second time.

	This solution should fit together with a refined model of the toolchain
	as recently pointed out by Adam Kennedy who said:

1. Configure Dependency
2. Build Dependency
3. Test Dependency
4. Install Dependency
5. Run-Time Dependency

For the current CPAN case, we can consider "requires" to cover
Run-Time Dependency, and "build_requires" to cover all other 4.

Since the Configure Dependency is required to be installed before
configuring, that means that we have to do build_requires before
running our configure script.

	And Schwern recently also said something in this direction.... Where did
	he post something? On P5P:

Ah ha, that's a horse of a different color.  This, I presume, is the VERSION_FROM problem?  Distribution Foo's Makefile.PL says "VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Foo.pm'" which says C.  Even if Foo depends on version.pm the CPAN shells try to run the Makefile.PL before it resolves dependencies (something I'd like to change).

Ok, that's convincing.  Send it on.



	Even though I believe this is too complex to be solved in a one day
	timeframe, I'm tempted.

	* How come that I did get the impression that PREREQ_FATAL=0 fixes all
	the TELS distros that set PREREQ_FATAL to 1? Just tried with blead@30104
	and it does not help. At least not with TELS/math/bignum-0.18.tar.gz.

	So maybe I tried them out in the "right" order? Yes, this must have been
	the case. The "right" order seems to be: Math::BigInt, Math::BigRat.

	This means that we discovered a bug in MakeMaker (a
	non-commandline-overrideable parameter) and we need 4 patches for TELS.

	This is about the MakeMaker bug: http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24774

	I'll first ask Tels himself before I go this route. [time passes] As
	expected, Tels is not ready to remove PREREQ_FATAL from his modules.

	* TELS has given all new Math modules the PREREQ_FATAL parameter. Trying
	now to counteract with PREREQ_FATAL=0. Yes, the commandline wins, so
	this gives a new distropref file. Update 2007-02-04: I was wrong.

	But with three big* packages upgraded DateTime::Util::Astro::Sun still fails.

	So when did Astro install successfully for the last time?

	for p in `~k/sources/Perl-Repository-APC/SVN/scripts/binsearchaperl --show-cache` ; do $p -e 'print $^X, $"'; $p tests/has-DateTime-Util-Astro.pl ; done | tee show-astro.out

	I could prove for both bleadperl@30044 and maintperl@29832 that the
	failure is caused by an upgrade to Math-BigInt-1.79. Report written to
	Tels and DMAKI.

	SUMMARIZED at http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24779

2007-02-02  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Tels has quickly released three more distros but
	DateTime::Util::Astro::Sun still fails. No time to investigate.

	* Yves has posted a patch that should fix the XML::Twig failures but the
	pumpkin has not yet reacted. Update 2007-02-04: Steve Peters has
	integrated it, problem solved. YAY!

	* what's the problem with Math::BigInt?

	bleadperl has 1.77, TELS has released 1.78. Running the tests for 1.78
	produces lots of warnings. DateTime::Util::Astro::Sun produces lots of
	failures with it but also when I downgrade to 1.77. Giving up for now.

2007-02-01  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Summary of the facts, also posted to Ken:

(1) perl is bleadperl @30080 (verified again with 30087)
(2) Module::Build is 0.2806
(3) distro is DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Calc-0.11.tar.gz
(4) Math::BigInt::GMP and Math::Pari must NOT be installed, so that y_n() is triggered
(5) I call 'perl Build.PL > /tmp/ttt' and it hangs forever and /tmp/ttt remains empty

	Continuing with experiments.

	Downgrading Module::Build to 0.2805 and the bug stays.
	Downgrading Module::Build to 0.2804 and the bug stays.
	Downgrading Module::Build to 0.2610 and the bug goes away.
	0.2801 not ok
	0.2612 ok
	0.27_09 ok
	0.27_10 ok
	0.28 not ok

	Studying the diff between 27_10 and 28:

+                  repository => 'http://svn.perl.org/modules/Module-Build/'

	Taking note of the repository for refined binary search. But watch out:

	trunk/tags/branches!

-0.27_11  Tue Mar 28 22:50:50 CST 2006
+0.28  Thu Apr 27 22:25:00 CDT 2006

	Where is 27_11?

	5978 is a test, 5977 talks about prompt and y_n, 5871...

	0.28     was 5994
	0.27_10  was 5850

	5870 died on that Build.PL
	5871 works correctly
	5976 works wrong
	5931 works wrong
	5919 works wrong
	5904 works correctly

	The diff between the two is interesting:

+sub _is_unattended {
+  my $self = shift;
+  return $ENV{PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT} || ( !$self->_is_interactive && eof STDIN );
+}
+

	Sure, this hangs. REPORTED on the mailing list.
	
	* D/DM/DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Calc-0.11.tar.gz again. Ken wrote me to say
	that Module::Build does set $|, so I do the following:

2007-02-01 07:27  cd ~/.cpan/build/DateTime-Util-Calc-0.11-Or71Ir
2007-02-01 07:53  mv /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p8FWT5N/perl-5.8.0@30080/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/i686-linux-64int/Math/BigInt/GMP.pm
2007-02-01 07:53  /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p8FWT5N/perl-5.8.0@30080/bin/perl Build.PL >| /tmp/p8FWT5N.out2 2>&1

	This "hangs" and the file /tmp/p8FWT5N.out2 contains ONLY the following lines:

Math::BigInt::FastCalc is missing method '_from_oct' at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p8FWT5N/perl-5.8.0@30080/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/DateTime/Util/Calc.pm line 9
Cannot load outdated Math::BigInt::FastCalc v0.10_01, please upgrade at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p8FWT5N/perl-5.8.0@30080/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/DateTime/Util/Calc.pm line 9

	So I must repeat this in the debugger to find out who is waiting for what.

	I reach line 501:

  DB<4> 
Module::Build::Base::prompt(/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p8FWT5N/perl-5.8.0@30080/lib/5.9.5/Module/Build/Base.pm:501):
501:      local $|=1;
DB<4> 
Module::Build::Base::prompt(/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p8FWT5N/perl-5.8.0@30080/lib/5.9.5/Module/Build/Base.pm:502):
502:      print "$mess $dispdef";
DB<4> x $|
0  1

  So this seems correct.
  
	I change lines 501 and 502 to read:

  local $|=1;{my $s = fileno select;warn "Going to print message to selected filehandle[$s]. \$|[$|]";}
  print "$mess $dispdef";warn "Have printed message to selected filehandle";

	With that I retry and am quite surprised that again the output file
	looks like the first time.

	For my testing it seems better to not redirect STDERR but only STDOUT,
	so we can just look with 'ls -l' to see that the file is empty.

2007-01-30  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24673 Template fails.

	Maybe needs a binary search? DONE and REPORTED.

	* DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Calc-0.11.tar.gz hangs, but I do not see why.

================================================================================
+  You don't seem to have neither Math::BigInt::GMP and Math::BigInt::Pari
+
+  Many astronomical calculations require the arbitrary-precision math
+  libraries like GMP. Without it you might see occasional overflows
+  which will result in an incorrect calculation. It is recommended that
+  you install either one of the module (If both are installed, GMP will
+  be used)
+
+  To install GMP, you will be required to have installed GMP library from

+
+  To install Pari, you will be required to have installed Pari from
+  http://www.parigp-home.de/ prior to installing the Perl module.
+
+  Proceed with installation without Math::BigInt::GMP or Math::BigInt::Pari? [n] 

	Why did I never before see this?

	Because Math::BigInt::GMP fails! See
	http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24672

	Whatever the answer, this must go into distroprefs. DONE for both TELS
	and DMAKI.

	In the Build.PL I see:

	    my $proceed = Module::Build->y_n($message, "n");

	Looks to me that Module::Build should set $| within y_n? Yes? No?

	Missing $| reported to module build mailing list just now.

	on 2007-01-06 and yesterday I let a binary search run against 3.29.
	28202 broke 3.29 but only with a test failure that later disappeared
	again, so this result is not interesting. I need a temporary patch that
	disables the testfile t/test_xml_split.t completely. Ah, this is quite
	easy with test/args distroprefs.

	Testing a temporary MIROD.XML-Twig.yml file that lists all test scripts
	individually (except the offending one). And it turns out that this
	functionality was missing in CPAN.pm. FIXED in SVK rev. 1807

	With              28202           the test test_xml_split  started failing
	Somewhere before  28319                    test_xml_split  stopped failing
	With              28319           the test test_errors     started failing
	Somewhere before  28785                    test_errors     stopped failing
  With              28785           the test test_3_27	     started failing
	Somewhere between 29274 and 29285 the test test_mark       started failing

	274 did not fail the mark test

	275 had problems to build XML::Parser, but why? Or better yet, why did
	274 have no problems building XML::Parser 2.34? I just retried, and yes,
	274 can build XML::Parser. 29275 seems to have a syntax error in
	/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/poKEUxZ/perl-5.8.0@29275/lib/5.9.5/utf8_heavy.pl.
	Yes, it is very annoying, the syntax error is there and cannot be
	explained by anything but a disk drive error (and I had RAID break three
	times these days). It is a rotten build and must be removed.

	278 cannot be built due to two failing tests. We will ignore the failing
	tests ../ext/Time/HiRes/t/HiRes.t ../lib/perl5db.t for now. OK, it does
	not fail the mark test, just the 3_27.

	279 fails the mark test. Ready to write to P5P. And I must correct the
	temporarily manipulated test/args distroprefs file.
	
	285 failed the mark test

	29010 and 29220 have at least test_3_27.t and test_additional.t failing

	29411 and 29705 have at least test_mark failing

	30044 fails only test_3_27	and test_mark
	
	* Slaven tells me that he can confirm the Term::ReadLine::Gnu behaviour
	in the t/callback.t test that I find so annoying for 5.9.5(debugging)
	but not for 5.8.8. I.e. with 5.8.8 the window gets closed automatically
	while with 5.9.5 it stays.

	This would normally be solved with a binary search but as always with
	big distros there are risks. Tk under randomly picked 21846 segfaults
	during make test. Same for 23300.

	25302 dies quickly with

	/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pq4nEoU/perl-5.8.0@25302/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /home/src/perl/tk/SVN/blib/arch/auto/Tk/Event/Event.so: undefined symbol: Perl_newXS_flags

	* Speed things up by reading distroprefs less often or otherwise find
	out who is so slow here. What happens between 'Running make for
	' and 'Checksum for  ok'? Time is spent in get(). Even
	though we now do negative caching of distroprefs for the time of one
	command, the get() is still slower for some reason. SEEMS AMENDED

	* if somebody else deletes a build_dir, we must offer a better solution
	than breakage 'can't chdir...'

	Suggest "maybe try 'force get $ID' to clean up the object in memory" or
	something like that. Or "to reset everything" or "to start with a fresh
	distro"... Nothing seems really good and correct. DONE

	Fixed in SVK rev. 1806

	*  NEELY/Data-Serializer-0.36.tar.gz            : make_test NO

	This distro appeared these days on the make_test-NO scene. But when I
	look closer, it turns out that it fails with the pretty old bleadperl
	22491.

2007-01-27  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* what's going on with JHOBLITT/DateTime-Format-ISO8601-0.0403.tar.gz?

	rt.cpan.org has the solution in ticket 24335. Patch by Aaron Crane (=ARC)

	Aaron's patch cannot be copy and pasted because of some whitespace
	problems. So I try to apply it manually.

	======================Dealing With Patches==================

	My procedure when I encounter a broken package:

    look DISTRO
    cd ..
    rsync -va DISTRODIR/ DISTRODIR.orig/
    # fix the distro in DISTRODIR
    diff -urp DISTRODIR.orig DISTRODIR > DISTRODIR-ANDK-01.patch
    gzip DISTRODIR-ANDK-01.patch

	I then upload the resulting patch to my CPAN patches/ directory and
	write a YAML file into my prefs_dir/ directory that contains roughly

    ---
    comment: "This patch fixes ..."
    match:
      distribution: "^DISTRO$"

    patches:
      - ANDK/patches/DISTRODIR-ANDK-01.patch

	That's all. From then I can install that distro for any perl version on
	that machine.

	Uploaded to CPAN and a new distropref file is made.
	
	* yesterday I built maintperl 29988 and somehow megainstall failed with
	Jifty-DBI asking auto-install questions. I suppose the question was
	asked by a different perl and an old CPAN because I do have a Jifty-DBI
	distropref file that should prevent questions asking.

	NO! The malfunctioning started exactly at 23:40 when the disk also
	started failing. So I suppose we can simply restart a megainstall on
	29988 now.

	No. Still hanging. No signs of being the wrong perl. Trying with 'make run'.

	Ahja, just the normal autoinstall misbehaviour. Because something
	failed, it tries to go into recursion. My normal patch
	ANDK/Module-AutoInstall-in-inc-ANDK-01.patch seems to take the
	appropriate amount of care for that.

2007-01-26  Andreas J Koenig  

	* document build_requires and when you talk about prerequisites, name
	the option names explicitly. DONE

	* note/explain the improved behaviour on recursion detection in the
	Changes file. DONE.

	* Today I found a bug in Tk::Pod when trying with bleadperl:

	/..../tkpod -I lib CPAN

	Need to have a closer look some day.

	A test script also failed but I installed it with 'force notest install
	Tk::Pod' because I had more interest in getting _71 out.

	Sent a patch to Slaven today which commented out an else in line 190 or
	so.

2007-01-26  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* bug: 'fforce instTAB' doesn't do completion.

	FIXED in SVK rev. 1762

2007-01-23  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Today I also saw an uninstallable IO::AIO 2.32: the AIO.pm file was
	not found within blib although it was there in blib/lib/IO/IO/AIO.pm.
	Who is playing a false game? Diff between 3.31 and 2.32 shows:

	Or remove the objects from memory while CacheMgr is running. Or both! If

	1764;

	It would be nice to understand the failures that were reported through
	testers and the one I saw on my dev05 box and the ones I saw on OSX but
	it will again be a developer release after all, so maybe these will have
	to wait.

	The test failure on dev05 is not reproducable. OSX?

	OSX passes all tests with my first _71 test build.
	
	* Today I tried 1.88_69 on OSX wit 5.8.6 as it comes preinstalled.
	File::HomeDir has issues and I could not use CPAN::Reporter to write a
	report because it said there was no config file. Will have to revisit
	this.

	* For several days I have kept Kwalify out with dontload_list. Today I
	opened the door again and let 29923 work through megainstall. All's
	well.

2007-01-21  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* We need a speedup of the distroprefs stuff. Currently we're going
	through readdir and YAML::Load thousand times per module. We should
	probably cache the whole directory structure once per command and delete
	it from re-used build_dirs. DONE with negative per-command distroprefs
	cache.

2007-01-20  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Today I have a segv with 29895 when running CPAN.pm. It may be
	relevant that I erroneously left YAML::Tiny configured? I reconfigured
	to prefer YAML::Syck and ... the SEGV remains. Configuring limit
	coredumpsize 100m now. The SEGV seems to bring the box to its knees and
	the logfile of the first run of 29895 says 'Out of memory'. And the core
	file is indeed 100m and has no stack. Setting coredumpsize to 1000m now.
	The problem comes immediately after loading Kwalify 1.13

	29887 was the last before 895 and its logfile is large. It came to the
	place where it loaded YAML::Tiny and from there is broke but not with a
	SEGV. So something between 29887 and 29895 is evil. How ironic that most
	of these patches are related to CPAN.pm!

	The newest core file is 1000M large, gdb needs a long time to load it
	and again says "No stack" when I say 'bt'.

	Next idea is to 'o conf dontload_list push Kwalify'. Now we get a step
	further. CPAN tries to install Archive::Zip, then becomes very slow,
	grows to 55M and then starts scanning build_dir for sizes. From that
	point it succeeds in building and installing, just a bit slow it seems,
	but this may be just the normal distroprefs slowness. Bundle::CPANxxl is
	installed now and megainstall is running. After a while I discover that
	I made a typo for yaml_module and said YAML::Sync. Of course this leads
	to slowness. Interesting mistake though, we might want to guard against
	it. 'make megainstall' finishes just as we're used to.

	FirstTime warns on misspelled module names since SVK rev. 1761.

2007-01-15  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* DBIx::Class has DBD::SQLite as build_requires. Thus it is being built,
	not installed and CPAN::SQLite does not demand it as prerequisite
	because it finds it (?) but then the install_driver fails during the
	tests. Weird.

	As a first alternative I try to install DBD::SQLite explicitly
	immediately before CPAN::SQLite.

	* See the two fails on CPAN testers for 1.88_69!

	They are both MSWin32 and 397036 is 5.8.5 and fails

t/31sessions.......dubious

	It seems there is no output at all to parse.

	* Look into YAML::Tiny; doesn't seem to work. We need a better catch on
	the problem it is causing: currently I do not see where it is failing.

2007-01-14  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* learn something new every day: less -R preserves the ANSI color
	sequences. Best way to analyse the captured output.

	* maint@29776 breaks DBI, need to check with 29802. Failure mailed to
	P5P. Fixed by Nicholas.

2007-01-13  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* And the next new bug: again an endless loop between PDF::FromHTML and
	XML::Twig. I'm not sure in which state CPAN.pm was when this run
	started, so I rerun from scratch with 29779 and stop the usual loop.

	No, the bug is there. The distro of PDF::FromHTML is the next on the
	loop and it depends on XML::Twig. The latter fails its tests but
	nonetheless re-queing is done. Instead of simply continuing with normal
	business because we do not need to requeue. What a mess.

	OK, sure, by removing the "next" for sponsored modules we gave the
	option that things get requeued that have failed. Should also have an
	easy fix.
	
	Tomorrow: megainstall with maintperl@29776, blead@297{79,80}, etc.

	(aside: the stupid thing about dot distros is that they are being
	needlessly rerun)

	Maybe write a failed_within_this_command() method?

	Is it true that batch jobs scan for sizes and then do not delete
	anything from build_dir? It seems so. My first 'make run' after a while
	faces 3.3 GB and in all batch jobs I saw the dot painting "for sizes".

	(The last successful testshell protocol I have with Expect on is
	make-test-20061230T172249.)

	30shell fails and it is again hard to find the offending test. Another
	proof that new tests must go into 31sessions.t. But 31session does not
	finish. Easily reproducable by trying to install
	CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeOne

	It seems that the recursion detection is now broken. We reach the limit
	of 100 in CPAN::Queue which should never be reached. If I say ^C there,
	then I see a seemingly endless loop of "Has already been...". Somehow we
	seem to bypass the color_cmd_tmps.

	It seems that everybody who puts something onto the queue is responsible
	for calling color_cmd_tmps? How silly if true :-( But it seems that we
	*are* calling color_cmd_tmps before jumpqueue in follow_prereqs. Yes,
	but we call it with $color=1 and this has already been called before we
	had the prereqs and so it returns early. We probably must call it with
	$color=2? How obfuscated if true :-( Yes, and by calling with $color=2
	and preventing an early return of all color_cmd_tmps when $color==2 I
	start to pass on 31sessions.t. Recursion detection is now even faster,
	we do not even arrive at testing which I consider a good thing.

	But it comes at a price. The disadvantage is that it is a die() and the
	usual "Failed during this command" gets lost. So what do we want?

	The result in older versions was:

Recursive dependency detected:
    CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeOne
 => A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-CircDepeOne-1.00.tar.gz

 => A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-CircDepeTwo-1.00.tar.gz
 => CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeOne.
Cannot continue.
Failed during this command:
 ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-CircDepeTwo-1.00.tar.gz: make_test NO one dependency not OK (CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeOne)

 ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-CircDepeOne-1.00.tar.gz: make_test NO one dependency not OK (CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeThree)

	Looking at that again it appears not a very clever answer because the
	"Failed" summary does not talk about the recursion detection. I think I
	prefer the die().

	On the other hand we need to help people in this situation and 'look
	Foo' should not fail because of recursion. This is easily fixable: we
	simply call color_cmd_tmps only for "make|test|install".

2007-01-12  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Hunting bugs. The first reliable way to produce the needless loop
	CBuilder<->File::Spec was to install a fresh maintperl@19726 and make
	mega_install on top. It takes a while. I need a quicker way better yet a
	testcase.

	The next best program which still runs for a long time is

	/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/p*/perl-5*@29726/bin/perl -Ilib -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::HandleConfig->load;$CPAN::DEBUG|=16;$CPAN::DEBUG|=32;$CPAN::DEBUG|=32768;install(qw(Expect Bundle::CPANxxl))' >& ttt.out

	Unfortunately this reproduces it only once. Fortunately I now understand
	the problem: CBuilder comes with a perfectly well suited Build.PL and
	with a Makefile.PL. My prefer_installer says "MB". But when MB is not
	yet installed, this must not be taken seriously. The bug is that CPAN.pm
	actually tries to execute the Build.PL and fails and then refuses to
	retry. This should have an easy fix in get() and now I believe, a
	testcase for this might be a bit too hard given that Module::Build will
	be in the core soon.

	I think I fixed it.

	Now I'm curious how this influences the Zlib bug. The endless loop
	problem was, after all, a completely separate bug, uniq to the situation
	described above. So I can remove the "next" in the sponsored_modules
	loop and expect that it delays the testing of Compress::Zlib?

	I seem to see a new bug now: CPAN::Reporter builds, tests, installs and
	immediately tests again. --> another investigation necessary

	But yes, the other bug is now also fixed by removing the "next" hack.

2007-01-10  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Bug: recursive dependency ExtUtils::CBuilder <-> File::Spec

	CPAN.pm gave me this puzzle today when trying to build on top of 5.8.9-tobe

  Recursive dependency detected:
      ExtUtils::CBuilder
   => K/KW/KWILLIAMS/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.18.tar.gz
   => File::Spec
   => K/KW/KWILLIAMS/PathTools-3.24.tar.gz
   => ExtUtils::CBuilder.
  Cannot continue.

	But File::Spec 3.12 is installed, so the recursive dependency should be
	breakable.

	AND the dump command should not fail under recursive dependency.

	Interstingly, the problem went away without special intervention. I
	remember now that I have seen it before and that it disappeared. Hrm.

	Why does it try testing C-Z too early? Could we convince CPAN.pm to
	retry testing in 45401? Dump its state at both points in time?

	Update 2007-01-11 akoenig : Found a "next" at the end of unsat_prereq
	that skipped already sponsored modules. Removed it because it looks as
	if it were responsible for the above bug. After that the infinite
	recursion problem between CBuilder and File::Spec dominated the next run
	and the normal recursion detection mechanism did not help to break the
	loop. To put the bad to the ugly it turned out that the recursion
	between CBuilder and File::Path is a wrong recursion in that the
	available version of File::Spec in 5.8.9 is 1.12 and CBuilder does not
	specify a version number, so is really satisfied with 1.12 but somebody
	else seems to require 1.19 and so CPAN.pm is hunting for that without a
	real reason. So we have a big bug here and no time to fix it.

	See also the "next WHAT" in CPAN::Queue::jumpqueue. If we keep it, we
	keep the queue at 100 instances of File-Spec-XXX.tar.gz without growing.
	If we remove it, the queue grows. Both cases are infinite loops, so
	neither better than the other.

2007-01-09  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Watch the Module::Build space for updates to the question of calling
	M:B methods or parsing _build/*. Ken seemed to argue for the file (?)

	FINI

2007-01-08  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: distroprefs mechanism is still inefficient in that it scans too
	often the whole distro_dir. (But it's super to have that while
	developing new rules). And it's a drag especially when people have only
	YAML and no YAML::Syck because they were not told or have no compiler or
	whatsoever. Or revisit the caching mechanism for the YAMLs and count the
	actual YAML activities.

	Also, reduce the default max counter for FTPstats to 1000 or 14 days or
	so and make it settable.

	* The speed factor that I wrote about a few times recently is due to the
	YAML::Syck being 100 times faster than YAML. Whenever for some reason
	YAML::Syck is missing, the whole CPAN.pm feels like running on a 386
	whatever we are doing, because we now have too many tasks delegated to
	YAML format. What to do?

	* 00.README into the manpage now? DONE

2007-01-07  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Bug: I say 'force test JHOBLITT/DateTime-Format-ISO8601-0.0403.tar.gz'

	and I see (with the usual noise around) in essence:

----    Unsatisfied dependencies detected during    ----

	and after that: nothing. So the one we try to test does not get tested
	but all prerequisites run their tests.

	This _is_tested command is wonderful. It show me that the bug is not in
	the is_tested area but in the unsatisfied part and I find the spot where
	inst_{file,version} was used instead of available_{file,version}

	FIXED in svk rev 1703.

2007-01-06  Andreas J. Koenig  

	*  JHOBLITT/DateTime-Format-ISO8601-0.0403.tar.gz

	broke between 20061212T0332 (29527) and 20061213T1101 (29542)

	But when I visit 29527 I see many prerequisites were missing. Including
	Params::Validate.

	Installing YAML::Syck and then using 'fforce test
	JHOBLITT/DateTime-Format-ISO8601-0.0403.tar.gz' brings me an endless
	loop between DateTime-0.35, DateTime-Format-Builder, Class-Factury-Util,
	DateTime, Params-Validate. And is_tested grows and grows and grows.

	FIXED in rev 1703.

	* blead@28810 did not compile YAML 0.62? Did we know that? That was
	September. Is something more broken than just bleadperl? In any case I'm
	surprised that 28810 has had no YAML.pm. So I should simply run through
	whole cache and see at which time I started to build Bundle::CPAN on all
	bleads. Do not forget, we're now using ccache:

	       CCACHE_DISABLE
              If  you  set the environment variable CCACHE_DISABLE then ccache
              will just call the  real  compiler,  bypassing  the  cache  com-
              pletely.

	No, the 'dont_load_list' is preventing YAML to be loaded at the moment.

	* Release the bundles that are already rewritten for a while DONE

	28810 already has the first of the failures above (and only those):

t/test_3_27.t               82    3  8-10

	29010 and 29220 have

t/test_additional.t    0    11   647   16  640-647

	which means it's yet another variant!

	29411 then has already the same behaviour as 29705.

	* Watch Paul Johnson's
	
	http://pjcj.sytes.net/cover/cpancover-5.9.5/

	I tested the not-availables with 29703

	Test-JSON-0.02                         wfm

	* Some instability in recent bleads wrt YAML. As soon as YAML is loaded
	perl gets slow and CPAN cannot install Text::Glob, the first module to
	be installed after YAML according to current dependencies.

	Yesterday I resolved it by putting YAML on the dont_load_list. Today I
	would prefer to find some indications towards a possible reason. The
	program hangs while parsing or writing FTPstats.yml such that no other
	program can use CPAN.pm because it waits for the lock.

	(Note: 29704 has arrived while I'm investigating)

	This is with 29672. I just retried to load YAML again and the hosts
	command did succeed, but it was slow (several minutes for 10000
	downloads)

	* Spreadsheet::ParseExcel broken recently. Also seems to affect
	Module::Plan::Lite. But binary search points to 29672 which cannot be to
	blame. SOLVED in rt.cpan.org

2007-01-05  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* is match/module compatible with SQLite? Is match/module the single
	cause for the slowness I encounter today? Is just 29679 broken? It
	cannot build PadWalker or it's just slow? Yes, it's only 29679. Something
	between YAML and the core. 78 and 80 are OK.

	I can add YAML to dont_load_list for 79, then build YAML::Syck and all
	goes well.
	
	* bug: force get on a dot distro removes {archived} which confuses make
	FIXED

	* distcc/ccache: I should use it for Tk. USING IT

	* Xvfb for testing Tk: Slaven writes

        Xvfb -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc -ac :121 &
        env DISPLAY=:121 make test

	Also needed for POE which opens Tk windows.

2007-01-04  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* maybe have a is_tested command? The SVK revision 1694 is just a trial,
	probably needs a rollback. The problems come from concurrency. We
	currently are not supporting modules tested by a different process that
	runs simultaneously. So we should test it with a perl that has already
	finished megainstall.

	* Port auto_commit to 1.8803 . NOT NEEDED

2007-01-03  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Paul Johnson has put out Devel::Cover 0.60

	make test did not succeed for me on the SVN version. Must retry with
	0.60 proper. Same thing. Must try other perls.

	* concurrency: the most critical point at the moment seems to be the
	cleanup of the build directory and another process trying to access one
	of the directories with chdir to build_dir. This dies without a
	Distrostatus in

	Couldn't chdir to /home/k/.cpan/build/Term-ReadLine-Gnu-1.16-MacKnJ at lib/CPAN.pm line 8839

	Stupid use of croak(), we want die or confess and want to fix it when it
	happens again.

	Turned into confess in SVK rev. 1632

	* Are the dot directories documented? Where? Is chdir mentioned there?

	Yes, it was documented in the section "Integrating local directories"
	and I rewrote it a bit, it sounded too boring. It still sounds boring
	and leads me to the idea to support

	get:
	  commandline:

	I'll have to think some more about it. (Also consider Ingy's move to
	prefer SVN over CPAN)

	* somebody sending a Tk window during a test just waiting to be clicked
	away? Who is it? Tk itself? Maybe this was just a single revision? NO,
	it is Term::ReadLine::Gnu in t/callback.t. Wow, it compiles, apparently.
	But does it pass the tests? Can we disable this batch-unfriendly test?

	We cannot disable it without patching.

	We must click the window away and after that we still have tests failing.

	This looks ugly to me. I have Expect and can answer interactive
	questions but I have no robot to click a window away. For now I'll put
	T:R:Gnu before Tk in the megainstall. Needs a better solution.

	What was the name again of the environment variable for automated
	testing?

	David Golden once (2006-09-25 on perl-qa) stated 'AUTOMATED_TESTING --
	used by many authors to toggle tests for non-interactive situations', so
	it may be a de-facto standard. A long thread at the beginning of October
	more or less backed this proposal to signal unattended testing.

	ADDRESSED in rev. 1708

	* Remember to see after the Devel::Cover module. 0.60 fails tests and
	maybe needs a binary search again.

	* Hackaton in Munich? Slides for Munich!

	* Watch hosts statistics.

	* Todo: enable batch jobs to trigger cleanup of the build directory.
	Methods: scan_cache, tidyup, Variable: scan_cache. LOCK.

	No, only checklock needs to be made something official. Maybe rename to
	get_lock then.

	* Despite all the care that goes into the distroprefs directory, we
	always will fail on some distros that ask questions and hang forever.

	* parrot is a bit of a mess, it seems. Why is CONTAINSMODS so tiny?

	At least I would expect

	CONTAINSMODS Inline::Parrot Inline::Parrot::parrot Parrot::Config Parrot::Embed Parrot::Interpreter Parrot::Test::Cardinal Perl::Critic::Policy::CodeLayout::UseParrotCoda SmartLink

	But *really* I'd expect several pages of output. But what I initially encountered was

	* Is it possible that Tk gets installed twice per megainstall?

	Not in megainstall.20070102T1831.out

	But in megainstall.20070103T0336.out I see that 'NI-S/Tk-804.027.tar.gz'
	has 'make_test NO'. Looking at its YAML I see it is 'CALLED_FOR:
	Tk::HList'. So is Tk::HList lost in SVN?

	But this is again a case where browseentry failed and NOTHING got
	installed. Bug is reported, do not pay attention to more than one bug:)

	The stupid thing is that there is a signature.t test and when we use

	Patching SIGNATURE does not help either because the file is signed. The

	* Bug: The FTPstats file has been cleared once again. 1167639627.93624.
	Only 20 minutes ago. This must have happened when I killed the sluggish
	process. Now I made the writing of the FTPstats file atomic. FIXED in
	SVK rev. 1672

	* It seems that blead@20002 has difficulties with YAML or YAML::Syck.
	The binary search that I have running crawls and strace shows a lot of
	mremap activities and reading of FTPstats (maybe too often?) and long
	phases of no system calls at all. I kill the process and start again.
	Speed now seems normal. New zlib modules get installed. Some fail. There
	are many of them, all with 2.002 as version number--slightly confusing.
	Now CPAN::Injects demands prereqs. Compress::Bzip2 fails with "No rule
	to make target 'Makefile'". File-Find-Rule demands Number::Compare, gets
	it, finishes its own build and the tests and gets installed. Now for
	Data::Compare. It seems to get sluggish. CPAN::Checksums can't get
	installed because of missing Compress::Bzip2. Now somebody wants
	IPC::Run3 and we slowly seem to get it. I believe it is CPAN.pm which is
	losing too much time with some nonsense.

	* new PAUSE and own key!

	* Todo: autosave/autocommit DONE

	* Why do I always see

Prepending /home/k/.cpan/build/Graphics-ColorNames-2.0_04-fxepKY/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/Graphics-ColorNames-2.0_04-fxepKY/blib/lib /home/k/.cpan/build/HTML-Tidy-1.07_01-wuI8Hl/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/HTML-Tidy-1.07_01-wuI8Hl/blib/lib /home/k/.cpan/build/YAML-Syck-0.72-BMlTTF/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/YAML-Syck-0.72-BMlTTF/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'make'
	
	Graphics::ColorNames   is a goto and a Module::Build
	HTML::Tidy             is a goto
	YAML::Syck             nothing special visible, maybe an artefact
	                       because it is involved in writing and reading
	                       status information?

	There must a bug in the goto implementation.

	Yes, the bug is visible when doing a manual install of
	Graphics::ColorNames in that the test is run twice. A part of the reason
	seems to be that the distro stays on the queue when we have finished
	installing it. The solution might be to remove it within the goto method.

	DONE in SVK rev. 1652

	And for YAML::Syck I find indeed the artefact AND a bug in the reanimate
	routine. I wrote $obj->{make_install} but it should be {install}.

	FIXED in SVK rev. 1653

	* Todo: verify that CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST_WITHOUT_EXPECT=1 still works.

	It's incredible slow. Maybe the $prompt_re is inefficient? No, the
	problem is that the more tests we have, the longer is the string that
	needs testing. The output must be split on the prompt and then tested
	one piece at a time. This is a hard job because we do not know where to
	split. 31sessions.t seems better, let's move there and go away from
	30shell.t. For now we can short circuit after the first fail. This still
	is extremely slow.

	Found it. There was a /.../s in the wrong position, it modified the
	$expected regex. FIXED in rev 1654.

2006-12-30  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: bring fforce, document force and fforce. DONE in SVK rev. 1650

	* New bug in testcover:

	t/31sessions.......ok 24/0Don't know which tests failed: got 26 ok, expected 0

	FIXED

	* Todo: bring back fforce. It was the SVK revision 1496 that
	extinguished it. And the subroutine itself was missing altogether. And
	1487 and 1490 introduced it. DONE

	* Paul Johnson is continuing his work on Devel::Cover but 30shell.t
	still triggers a bug somewhere , described in a P5P posting thusly:

	When I use bleadperl@29569 instead, the process grows to 38 MB virtual
	size and finishes after about 12 minutes. With blead@29570 I run into
	the timeout.

	I'm now trying to get more output from the running process:

	HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover make test TEST_FILES=t/30shell.t TEST_VERBOSE=1

	It hangs after

	# NEXT: b Bundle::CpanTestDummies
	# EXPECT: \sCONTAINS.+?CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make.+?CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::Zip(?s:.*?cpan[^>]*?>)

	Even if I turn on debug all, output stops there and memory consumption
	is infinite.

	It looks like Expect is holding back the output that could pinpoint the
	problem, so let's try with

	CPAN_RUN_SHELL_TEST_WITHOUT_EXPECT=1 HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover make test TEST_FILES=t/30shell.t TEST_VERBOSE=1

	This prints "Out of memory" and dumps core, but I cannot find the core
	file. Sure, because the other process that parses the output just
	removes the whole dot-cpan directory in its END block. A die() does not
	cancel the END block!

	So we move the cleanup code out of the END so we can analyse the
	debugging statements from 'o debug all'.

	I replaced a $_ with a lexical and could run more tests after that.
	Before it was always failing after test 154, now it fails after 164:
	'force ls ANDK' is the last ok and the command that fails is 'test
	CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make'. In the test.out I see that make goes OK
	and after that follows nothing.

	Here comes the big surprise: when I turn debugging on for this and the
	next command, the third one fails. Ahh yes, this is a bug in 30shell.t
	itself. The expected regexes must be longer to avoid false positives
	that hide bugs in the testsuite for a long while.

	And now, all of a sudden, the tests run through? No wild process
	anymore? Well, a lot of them fail but the crazyness is just over?

	Yes. We'll go back a few steps and forward and see if we can identify
	something.

	My impression is that the four lines in the chunk after 6981 are
	responsible where I replaced $_ with $dirent. We'll see.

	Update 2006-12-31: No, this change alone does not bring the bug back.

	What about svn up -r 1432? Is the nightmare reproducable at all? Yes.
	With bleadperl@29642 and devel-cover SVN rev. 190 and CPAN.pm SVN rev.
	1432 and the command

	HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover make test TEST_FILES=t/30shell.t TEST_VERBOSE=1

	I can see the bug again: after test 154 I see this output:

	ok 154 -  (testing command 'b')
# NEXT: b Bundle::CpanTestDummies
# EXPECT: \sCONTAINS.+?CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make.+?CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::Zip(?s:.*?cpan[^>]*?>)

	and then the process grows to 2.9 GB.

	FINISHED with a status report.

2006-12-29  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Between 29627 and 29637 we have a major breakage in perl. Perl builds
	fine but fails many tests. The first test that fails is io/open.t and it
	has not changed. It's something about my($f) and local($f) but I have
	not one liner yet that demonstrates it. make regen in any case does not
	help.

	Ahhh, here it is:

	eval {open my $f, '<', '/etc/hosts';};
  open local $f, '<', '/etc/passwd';

	This is silent in 27 and barks with 35 and 37:

	Can't localize lexical variable $f at tests/my-local.pl line 3.

	Now binary search runs..... 28 ok, 29 not ok.

	Jarkko reports these:

	been fixed in 29639.

2006-12-27  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* #24114 by Steve says that we do not survive without YAML!

	Trying to fix with overloaded Exception classes leads to more changes
	than I feel comfortable with without writing new tests. So we need tests
	that test missing YAML and YAML::Syck. Maybe Test::Without::Module might
	help?

	No. The tricky way that CPAN.pm is using to load modules is not suited
	for T:W:M. I have tried it and I see YAML gets loaded without
	hesitation. But I recall we have dontload_list. Very nice.

	IMPROVED in SVK rev. 1639 and added tests in 31sessions.t since then.

	* document the major change to the force pragma and find tests that
	enforce that

	* document how test repete is supposed to work and find tests that
	enforce that

2006-12-26  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Paul Johnson has already fixed #24067 in his repository. Unfortunately
	he sends me a link to svnweb instead of the repository itself. Svnweb
	itself neither gives machine readable output nor does it provide a link
	to the repository.

	Fortunately one can guess it: svn ls http://pjcj.sytes.net/svn/Devel-Cover

	Repository version passes all tests.

2006-12-25  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* I don't know how to prevent SQLite dieing due to locked database.
	Because it happens such that a batch process reads the database and an
	interactive process tries to write the database. The latter does not
	know about the other. Both know nothing about each other beforehand.
	Then they clash and I cannot find out.

	FIXED (at least improved) by Randy

2006-12-24  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: create a second shell test, say 31force.t that starts from
	scratch and studies the variants without having to wait for many minutes

	It would be good if we had a test script that allows us to visit
	multiple sessions. It would not really need Expect.pm! We make short
	sessions instead. 31sessions.t is it. Test::Base or what? No, it doesn't
	convince me but I don't know why.

	* after SVK rev. 1604 doing a megainstall from scratch a second time to
	study the differences tomorrow or in the late evening.

	Later... looks good. But crazy that we find both DBD::mysql 4.00 and
	3.0008 in the failed departement (Update 2006-12-26 akoenig : reported
	as http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24096). And the second
	anomaly that .../svn/tk/. succeeded at 17:28 but not at 11:45. Not much
	for 5100 diff chunks.

	* Rethinking once again 'force test'. Right now I see "Has already been
	tested successfully" within one session but not when I start a session.

	This needs to change because our big force redesign should let us say
	'force test thing' when we really want just exactly that and should save
	us the time when we really know this has been tested OK.

	I think this happens in SVK rev.1604

	* Buglet: if I do a 'force get thing' then I get a new build_dir for the
	thing. If I had done a 'test thing' before then the old build_dir is in
	the is_tested hash/set/database and survives in the paths prepended to
	PERL5LIB

	FIXED in SVK rev. 1589

	But wait! If we have many variants of one distro in PERL5LIB, then all
	hell breaks loose because we possibly do not get the right one as the
	first. We need to sort by something. DONE in upcoming SVK rev. 1604.

	Oh, and we need to filter out the installed ones. So we really must tie
	the distros and the is_tested stuff together. Makes no sense to prepend
	test-directory-X to PERL5LIB when X is installed. FIXED for the
	make_install attribute: this was lost because there was an early return
	on success in CPAN::Distribution::install().

2006-12-23  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Remember to see after the Devel::Cover module

	http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24067

	It seems to me that the CC to p5p did not come through. Need to re-check
	and forward it myself. But give it time to bite its way through.

2006-12-22  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* badtestcnt is buggy. color_command_temps(0) deletes it and the next
	command then will behave differently. Trying to stop deleting it I
	experience

	make-test-20061222T223413:
	    fails                              none
	    does delete badtc for distros?       no
	    test 199 sharp?                      no

	make-test-20061222T222907:
	    fails                              none
	    does delete badtc for distros?      yes
	    test 199 sharp?                     yes

	make-test-20061222T221432
	    fails                               199
	    does delete badtc for distros?       no
	    test 199 sharp?                     yes

	Working over the expected regular expressions seems necessary because
	some of them match too early and it becomes impossible to determine
	which test really fails.

	So now we have

	make-test-20061223T160632
	    fails:                              199
	    does delete badtc for distros?       no
	    test199 sharp?                      yes

	Apparently we once decided that badtestcnt shall be kept until a command
	is finished. To prevent repeating the same test within one command. And
	when the command finishes, in the very last moment, we would remove the
	badtestcnt so that the next command would test the same distro again.
	Because we hope that a failing test can turn into success due to
	external factors. From this point of view badtestcnt is programmed
	correctly.

	But I had changed strategy when persistence entered the game. I wanted
	to not repeat failed tests at all to speed things up, didn't I? And what
	did I encounter?

	Needs to be specified in full length first. Do we want to repeat testing?

	            command     session     restored_state
	Distro
	  OK          no          no          no
	  FAIL        no          yes         yes
	Module/Bundle
	  OK/FAIL     pass everything through to underlying distros

	The problem is, I think, that when we store state, we quite often get
	"badtestcnt" in the state because we store it before the command is
	finished. So if we simply delete badtestcnt when we restore state, we
	should be pretty much out of the danger zone.

	* Bug: hosts statistics was cut off before Dec. 17. For now I've added a
	mandatory debugging line to see it when it happens.

	Saw it again. I suspect that somebody without YAML gets an empty stats
	arrayref and later comes to the conclusion that he may write the first
	record.

	Most probably fixed now. The code that truncated did not check if we
	were really able to write afterwards. (Log starts: Mon Dec 18 14:19:10

2006-12-17  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* See recent bugreport on modules against pause indexer and version
	objects and consider how it affects us here. SEEMS OK.

	* From an Email from Ingy to Steffen Mueller:

The idea is to make things a lot easier for a lot more people to be
involved. Well that's part of the plan anyway. Mostly I intend Kwiki to
be downloadable and installable via subversion rather than cpan.

While I don't intend to completely abandon cpan, I also am not so
interested in keeping cpan up to date. Really it should be automated
somehow. Anyway, all this is to say that if you want to shepard Kwiki on
cpan, you are most welcome to.

	An argument for "commandline" but maybe for even more.

	Commandline is DONE.

	* priorities today: force, commandline (DONE)

	* DBD::mysql: I'm sure there is just a defined() somewhere missing in
	the Makefile.PL. Seems to be FIXED by 4.00.

	* DBD::SQLite again: With bleadperl 29398 and current CPAN.pm I tried to
	install /home/src/perl/cpan-sql-stuff/CPAN-SQLite/. but again it failed
	because DBD::SQLite did not write its SQLite.xsi file. I fear there's
	something being (not) done in the Makefile.PL instead of during make.

	Yes. On the second try DBD::SQLite builds perfectly well. So one must
	make sure that they are installed in this order. Maybe this is normal
	for DBDs? I have never noticed this before. Hrm. This would be a case
	for re-running perl Makefile.PL after building the prereqs.

	If we had 'commandline', we would write

make:
	commandline: "$PERL Makefile.PL; make"

	Or something like that. Will test as soon as we have 'commandline'.

	DONE

	* priorities: bugfixing; SQLite; Kwalify;

	redesigning the force pragma: biggie; see showstopper alert

	distroprefs left over: single ersatzcommand for the test mantras: we
	currently can change the make command and the arguments at the end but
	the word test is always on the command line and this looks silly. But
	maybe not worth a new keyword. But I've also proposed ->{test}{skip}, so
	the two can be folded perhaps? ---- On the bycicle it occurred to me: we
	add "commandline" to each of get/make/test/install and then the user can
	even say "cvs up" or "perl -e 1". I like it.

	* I'm convinced now that we need more force flavors and that force shall
	be limited in scope

	force get     shall re-fetch
	force make    shall not re-fetch   but run make again
	force test    shall not make again but try to test again
	force install shall not test again but try to install

	* But when we have four different force flavors, we will demand a
	superforce that works like the force now does and sets all "lower" ones?

	* Todo: when fixing force note that the documentation about force is in
	three places: CPAN::{Bundle,Distribution,Module}::force.

	* Bug that has to do with install_tested or build_dir_reuse or degraded
	shell mode or some use of ^C at the wrong moment:

  PEREINAR/File-Which-0.05.tar.gz              : install NO

	But File::Which is installed. Maybe in a concurrent shell. When I ask
	for 'install File::Which' I get 'is up to date' and nothing gets
	repaired. When I ask for 'install PEREINAR/File-Which-0.05.tar.gz' then
	the thing gets tested but not installed because 'Already tried without
	success'.

	Are we in trouble?

	Maybe we must rethink how 'force test' works. It should not 'force get',
	and 'force make', it should just test and not refuse to do it.

	Or we must compute the COMMANDID better than we do during reanimate and
	treat negative COMAMNDIDs with more rigor in some constellations?

	The thing is that the module object for File::Which knows about the
	correct distro object but it gets the installed version from @INC and
	does not know who put it there and so should not be able to discard the
	distro object. Hmmm.

	Remember, we have the notest pragma! Maybe we can let install_tested
	support both the force and the notest pragma and are through?

	But no, even 'notest install ...' does not succeed because we need
	force, not notest, but force propagates down until we restart with get.
	This is, of course a last resort, but it's no fun:-(

	SHOWSTOPPER ALERT!

	At least I get the impression this extreme case happens only on ^C, but
	some other methods of dieing will certainly exist as well.

	* Observing in a shell in degraded mode: it wrote a new Metadata file.

	* Observing how install_tested behaves: within the same session it
	installs without retesting. In a new session it does retest. What
	*should* it do?
	
	Noting that the DH test runs forever again because GMP comes too late.

	* Investigate if I want Math::Bigint::GMP in the core. Think of
	Crypt::DH and the horrible test timings when Math::Bigint::GMP is not
	installed

	* find out why upgrade always upgrades
	Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId and ...::ModUserTrack.

	Seems to be Apache-Session-1.81/Session/Generate/ModUniqueId.pm and
	Apache-Session-1.81/Session/Generate/ModUsertrack.pm

	SO OK, nothing to worry.

	* The Net::SSH::Perl test 03-packet still runs forever even with
	Math::Bigint::GMP. Maybe this is completely unrelated? Yes! No load!
	Report sent. But can we patch it? Maybe not as long as Math::Pari and
	Crypt::Random are prereqs and fail themselves.

	* In Crypt::DH rewrite the test so that TEST_VERBOSE tells us timings
	and Math::BigInt internals. No need! It's Math::Bigint again. Test is
	really quick with Math::Bigint::GMP installed. Note that Math::GMP is
	not enough. But can we patch it?

	* CPAN::Checksums -> Data::Compare -> File::Find::Rule ->
	Number::Compare
	
	* I wanted to watch some scenarios with persistent data. Especially with
	modules that work and that are being tested again and again with prereqs
	and without or within bundles and if they are retested or not, installed
	or not with persistence and within the same session.

	Write a megatest?

	* Study "pip" by Adam K (in Module-Plan-Base) and CPAN::Mini::Tested and
	CPAN::Mini::Phalanx100 and also see what we can do for
	Module::ThirdParty

	* Provide an API or documentation how to find out the CPAN::Config
	variables.

	* Now I know the first bug in install_tested: it re-tests already
	installed modules.

	* One thing we do not support yet in distroprefs is adding dependencies
	without patching. Shall we?

	* Bug in T:B:

	Text::Balanced            v1.99.1_1      1.98  DCONWAY/Text-Balanced-1.98.tar.gz

	Bug reported as http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23968

2006-12-16  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Bug? Binary search seems to run incredibly slow today for
	POE::Component::Client::DNS and I had already the same impression
	yesterday for L:M:Gettext.

	Hopefully fixed by caching negative results of _sqlite_running.

	* Bug? I suddenly see less than 76 dots when we read 01mailrc.txt.gz:

Going to read /home/ftp/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz

	* Todo: enable batch jobs to trigger cleanup of the build directory.

	* #23887 has a patch. DUPLICATE of 23933.

2006-12-10  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Buglets with sqlite: does not correctly deal with SVN::Core and
	Bundle::Pause. Things not on CPAN.

	Something else coming from megainstall and some debugging code has been
	added to produce inspection evidence:

Panic: obj[--- 
reqtype: r
] cannot meth[install]

	So we somehow produce an empty object that has nothing but reqtype set.
	I saw this for the first time with SQLLite. Today, with megainstall,
	when I turn SQLite off, the bug does not happen. But the bug might be in
	CPAN.pm as well, we must trace it back to the origin of this weird hash.

	Update 2006-12-12: it is happening with SVN::Client

	The bug was hidden for a few days when DBI was broken but came back when
	DBI got a patch from  Nicholas.

	I think I just fixed it in exists. But still I find

Use of uninitialized value $fullid in substitution (s///) at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/ph5rQVg/perl-5.8.0@29559/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/CPAN/SQLite/Util.pm line 178.

	in the logfile. And now this has been fixed in C:S CVS version too.

	* From an Email from Ingy to Steffen Mueller:

	An argument for "commandline" but maybe for even more.

2006-12-09  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* On 1367 broke 30shell.t and up to 1372 it was not fixed. The failure
	at 1367 happens at

	test CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Build
	doesN'T match [[[test\s+--\s+OK(?s:.*?cpan[^>]*?>)]]]!

	at 1372 we come to

	install CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Build
	doesN'T match [[[is up to date|SAW MAKE[\s\S]+?SAW MAKE[\s\S]+?SAW MBUILD(?s:.*?cpan[^>]*?>)]]]!

	after tweaking 30shell.t to reveal the real difference between the two
	versions I find what is now new:

#   ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Build-1.03.tar.gz
# Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::Zip)

	instead of previous:

#   ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Build-1.03.tar.gz
#   ./Build test -- OK
# Running Build install

	So why is Zip not OK? Maybe because we "installed" it with a fake
	install command? It did not arrive in an install directory but it was
	removed from the "is_tested" directories and then not prepended to
	PERL5LIB?

	Yes, that seems the correct interpretation. The old test was not
	revealing that, the new code is. So we improved the code that much that
	it does not allow the faked-up test anymore.

	OK, this shows us how important it is that each test tests only one
	thing. This Build module tests a bit too much so we cannot easily
	recognize how to interprete a failure and we break the first rule of
	testing zen: tests are there to find bugs.
		
	* Todo: when fixing force note that the documentation about force is in
	three places: CPAN::{Bundle,Distribution,Module}::force.

	* integrate the use_sqlite and sqlite_dbname parameters before _65 DONE.

2006-12-07  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Another problem with goto is that if people say upgrade, the newer
	version will be tried again, will goto the other and then the same
	version as the installed one will be built and installed again. Probably
	too rare a case to worry about. Goto is always a temporary solution.

	* XML::Feed and XML::RSS cooperation continues to exhibit bugs: 

	t/05-atom10-link......ok
	t/06-atom10...........ok
	t/07-atom10-create....ok
	All tests successful.
	Files=7, Tests=171,  9 wallclock secs ( 7.08 cusr +  0.42 csys =  7.50 CPU)
	  BTROTT/XML-Feed-0.12.tar.gz
	Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (XML::RSS)
	Running Build install
	  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

	So although XML::RSS was installed successfully, it is not uptodate. But
	it's goodenough for XML::Feed which demands version 1.01. We have 1.12
	and CPAN has 1.21 but 1.21 is disabled now with a goto.

	Maybe we check for uptodateness in the wrong place?

	No, we checked if the newest distro completed its tests.

	FIXED in SVK rev. 1516

2006-12-06  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23588

	Not fixed with XML::RSS 1.21! Now re-reported as

2006-12-05  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* With all the care that goes into the distroprefs directory, we always
	will fail on some distros that ask questions and hang forever. It's time
	to rethink a global way out of modules that hang in an IO operation.

	* Todo: make the distropref schema even easier accessible like with a
	manpage.

2006-12-04  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Bug reported by Sendu Bala: it can really happen that CPAN.pm deletes
	a build_dir while the owner is still in the queue.

	testshell-with-protocol cannot reproduce by setting build_cache to 0.1,
	not even with 0.001, and not even with 0.

	Recall: during the first "get" the cachemgr is introduced. It is global
	and gets never replaced and so should never be called again for
	scan_cache.

	I ask Sendu to explaint he circumstances and he brings an example where
	somebody calls CPAN.pm recursively. No, I don't consider this a bug. and
	besides, it won't happen in 1.89 anymore *although* I do not consider it
	a bug.
	
	* Bug: Goto does not work as it should for XML::RSS. Currently I see
	that XML::Feed is tested before XML::RSS is installed. First X:F has the
	prereq to X:R, so X:R is processed. It has a prereq of Test::Manifest
	which is processed and installed. Then comes X:R again but it says:

  /usr/bin/make  -- OK
Running make test
  Delayed until after prerequisites
Running make install
  Delayed until after prerequisites

	And then immediately comes X:F's test and fails. X:R is dropped from the
	queue somehow.

	And undelay and goto do not know each other. Because goto does not jump
	on the queue, I suppose.

	FIXED in SVK rev. 1508

	* Bug: The current Makefile has an implicit dependency on YAML::Syck

	This was a bug in MANIFEST.SKIP which excluded the .dd files in
	distroprefs/

	FIXED in SVK rev. 1506

2006-12-03  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Maybe I should undo the too far going changes I did in the preparation
	for a better force implementation and make a _64? Force could delay the
	next release considerably.

	OK, the three occurrences of fforce are gone. What else?

2006-12-02  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* find a way to treat kwalify such that the schema is documented and can
	be accessed directly. And such that not only YAML::Syck can read it.
	Current solution confuses YAML.

	After some rewriting of CPAN::Kwalify I'm stuck with this:

% /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/*/perl-*@29438/bin/perl -e '
use Kwalify; use File::Slurp qw(slurp);
my($schema,$data) = map { eval slurp $_ } @ARGV;    
Kwalify::validate( $schema, $data );
' ./lib/CPAN/Kwalify/distroprefs.dd ./distroprefs/RGIERSIG.Expect.dd  
[/make] Expected subschema (a hash)

	While this succeeds:

% /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/*/perl-*@29438/bin/perl -e '
use Kwalify; use YAML::Syck;
my($schema,$data) = map { YAML::Syck::LoadFile($_) } @ARGV;
Kwalify::validate( $schema, $data );
' ./lib/CPAN/Kwalify/distroprefs.yml ./distroprefs/RGIERSIG.Expect.yml

	The solution is to use $Purity=1 for Data::Dumper transformations as
	described in the Data::Dumper manpage. Thanks to Slaven for digging it
	out for me.
	
	* priorities today: force, expect, commandline

	backtrack: kwalify in separate package

	* My talk proposal http://www.perl-workshop.de/auth/my/edittalk?id=46

	Module Morphing. Module Taming. Module Killing. Talkback. cpan DOT
	(bring your own)! Persistent or Permanent Shell? Upgrade. Test Now,
	Install Later. Configure Your Pick. Color. Kovaric.

	Wasn't that Kolaric? Oops. My memory betrayed me.

2006-12-01  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Bug: while trying a goto in KCLARK.SQL-Translator.yml that should
	point to JROBINSON/SQL-Translator-0.08_04.tar.gz nothing works as
	expected. CPAN tries to download pub/CPAN/authors/id/JROBINSON (without
	the J/JR/). All other 4 gotos still seem to work.

	Is this because it is from today or because JR has 9 letters?

	Testing JROBINSON/SQL-Translator-0.08_04.tar.gz directly is no problem.

	fixed in SVK rev 1474
	
	* Release the two new bundles

	* XML::Twig's tests fail and when looking around one eventually finds
	http://xmltwig.com/ where there is a 3.27 version. No repository access.
	Looks like another case for 'we want "get URL"'. Or theoretically
	someone could just release it to CPAN as 3.27_20061201.tar.gz and then
	treat it with a goto. But that smells.

2006-11-30  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todos reshuffled.

2006-11-29  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* DBD::mysql: I'm sure there is just a defined() somewhere missing in

	* Need to patch Module::AutoInstall and test antirecursion with an
	environment variable. Errr, I need to patch the inc/ directory of
	Plagger then. Done and patch for now in the patches directory.

	Remember that there's also a rant in 00.README -- No, this is already
	gone.

	http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23735 now suggests a patch

2006-11-28  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* DBD::SQLite again: With bleadperl 29398 and current CPAN.pm I tried to
	install /home/src/perl/cpan-sql-stuff/CPAN-SQLite/. but again it failed
	because DBD::SQLite did not write its SQLite.xsi file. I fear there's

	for DBDs? I have never noticed this before. Hrm. This would be a case
	for re-running perl Makefile.PL after building the prereqs.

	If we had 'commandline', we would write

make:
	commandline: "make; $PERL Makefile.PL; make"

	Or something like that. Will test as soon as we have 'commandline'.

	* Observing that expect-in-any-order is much slower than expect (of
	course) and that one could safe minutes for Plagger if a timeout were
	set to 0.1 or so.

	Update 2006-12-17 akoenig : low global timeout value does not work
	because the first question has a few seconds to wait for whatever. So
	one would really need tiemouts per question and in the case of anyorder
	one would have toi calculate the current maximum for the timeout and
	while this would be doable it would be overspecification, too much to
	learn for the user with too little gain to be made. REJECTED

2006-11-27  Andreas J. Koenig

	running, heck maybe I can do that even myself, react accordingly

	DONE.

2006-11-26  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* bug:

	force get /home/src/perl/cpan-sql-stuff/CPAN-SQLite/.

	goes through all of urllist and tries to download
	ftp://cpan.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/CPAN/authors/id//home/src/perl/cpan-sql-stuff/CPAN-SQLite/.
	etc.

	And after that we cannot work with the
	/home/src/perl/cpan-sql-stuff/CPAN-SQLite/. directory anymore, somehow
	the internal state has lost the connection to the real directory.

	Without the force it works nicely and says:

	Is already unwrapped into directory /home/src/perl/cpan-sql-stuff/CPAN-SQLite/.

	If Coro does index downloads for us, we do not have to fear slow
	connections and can gather better data.

2006-11-14  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Randy says:

	The only data CPAN::SQLite really needs from CPAN.pm is:
	- a location to store the database file; for this,
	it's presently using $CPAN::Config->{cpan_home},
	which I believe is the same location as Metadata;
	- the name of the database file; in this I've been
	using a new config entry $CPAN::Config->{sqlite_dbname},
	or 'cpandb-sqlite', as a default;
	- the location (directory) beneath which the CPAN
	indices are kept; I've been using
	$CPAN::Config->{keep_source_where}, assuming
	it's a simple directory.
	
	The guessing for this in CPAN::SQLite comes when it's
	not being run under CPAN.pm.
	
	As for CPAN::SQLite providing data to CPAN.pm,
	that's being done solely in CPAN::SQLite::META,
	and it uses
	  $CPAN::META->instance($class => $id)->set(%data);
	for everything, except for CONTAINSMODS, where
	it uses
	  $d = $CPAN::META->instance($class => $id);

	* Catalyst would be another candidate for a large dependency list.

	* Guessing of -p0/-p1 for patch maybe wrong if the patch tries to create
	a new file against, say, /dev/null.

	* Expect structure. We can leave expect as it is but expect-in-any-order
	needs a way to set the timeout. The structure must change, I fear.

	* Would be nice: integrate the config variable name into the init
	dialogs such that one has a chance to learn their names over time.

	* Would be nice: 'o conf /check/' to list all variables matching a regex.

	* I realize that it's quite pointless to try downloading with "fancy"
	when there is Net::FTP installed. OTOH, *sometimes* it may be clueful. I
	should explain in a FAQ that it makes sense to disable the externel
	programs once one has Net::FTP and LWP. The problem only appears if you
	have many hosts in the urllist and try to download a fresh file: here
	you want to try only with one method and cycle through the hosts
	quickly.

	* Randy Kobes needs an API to find out where the index files are
	located. And the whole SQLite needs to be integrated. First question is
	what do we use from it. Only the readonly stuff, I suppose. And the
	urllist. And all this might need to be combined with the TTL stuff and
	separate loading of index files.

	* Bug that has to do with install_tested or build_dir_reuse or degraded
	shell mode or some use of ^C at the wrong moment:

  PEREINAR/File-Which-0.05.tar.gz              : install NO

	But File::Which is installed. Maybe in a concurrent shell. When I ask
	for 'install File::Which' I get 'is up to date' and nothing gets
	repaired. When I ask for 'install PEREINAR/File-Which-0.05.tar.gz' then
	the thing gets tested but not installed because 'Already tried without
	success'.

	Are we in trouble?

	Maybe we must rethink how 'force test' works. It should not 'force get',
	and 'force make', it should just test and not refuse to do it.

	Or we must compute the COMMANDID better than we do during reanimate and
	treat negative COMAMNDIDs with more rigor in some constellations?

	The thing is that the module object for File::Which knows about the
	correct distro object but it gets the installed version from @INC and
	does not know who put it there and so should not be able to discard the
	distro object. Hmmm.

	Remember, we have the notest pragma! Maybe we can let install_tested
	support both the force and the notest pragma and are through?

	But no, even 'notest install ...' does not succeed because we need
	force, not notest, but force propagates down until we restart with get.
	This is, of course a last resort, but it's no fun:-(

	SHOWSTOPPER ALERT!

	At least I get the impression this extreme case happens only on ^C, but
	some other methods of dieing will certainly exist as well.

	* Todo: offer the choice between (readline) Gnu and Perl and Coro. See
	my trials in the bin/ directory (SVN only)

	* Mail::Send problem persists that Test::Reporter's mails do not arrive
	when sent with Mail::Send but do when sent with Net::SMTP (IIRC). In any
	case I must disable installation of Mail::Send somehow or debug.
	Test::Reporter has got a wish item via RT already some weeks ago.

	* Bug: Uuuuuh, pressing ^C and then trying an illegal command, ugliness:

	* Investigate if I want Math::Bigint::GMP in the core. Think of
	Crypt::DH and the horrible test timings when Math::Bigint::GMP is not
	installed

	* find out why upgrade always upgrades
	Apache::Session::Generate::ModUniqueId and ...::ModUserTrack.

	Seems to be Apache-Session-1.81/Session/Generate/ModUniqueId.pm and
	Apache-Session-1.81/Session/Generate/ModUsertrack.pm

	SO OK, nothing to worry.

	* The Net::SSH::Perl test 03-packet still runs forever even with
	Math::Bigint::GMP. Maybe this is completely unrelated? Yes! No load!
	Report sent. But can we patch it? Maybe not as long as Math::Pari and
	Crypt::Random are prereqs and fail themselves.

	* In Crypt::DH rewrite the test so that TEST_VERBOSE tells us timings
	and Math::BigInt internals. No need! It's Math::Bigint again. Test is
	really quick with Math::Bigint::GMP installed. Note that Math::GMP is
	not enough. But can we patch it?

	* The first thing that I encounter when I start testing instead of
	installing things is that test doesn't stop when the installed version
	is higher than or equal to the CPAN version. Ilya invented for that
	test_uptodate??

	* CPAN::Checksums -> Data::Compare -> File::Find::Rule ->
	Number::Compare
	
	* I wanted to watch some scenarios with persistent data. Especially with
	modules that work and that are being tested again and again with prereqs
	and without or within bundles and if they are retested or not, installed
	or not with persistence and within the same session.

	Write a megatest?

	* Study "pip" by Adam K (in Module-Plan-Base) and CPAN::Mini::Tested and
	CPAN::Mini::Phalanx100 and also see what we can do for
	Module::ThirdParty

	* replace 03 index file with YAML.

	* Provide an API or documentation how to find out the CPAN::Config
	variables.

	* Looks like a bug to me what I find in Bundle-SZABGAB-0.01.yml:
	CONTAINSMODS is empty because Gabor has a distro in the bundle.

	* Now I know the first bug in install_tested: it re-tests already
	installed modules.

	* One thing we do not support yet in distroprefs is adding dependencies
	without patching. Shall we?

	* Todo: clean up "XXX" in the code

	* M2 (Wishlist) separate the TTLs for 01,02,03. If somebody asks 'a
	FOO', we should only check for the authors database, etc.

	* E1 Todo: use 00whois.xml instead of mailrc, and follow the UTF-8 HOWTO to
	get rid of the term_is_latin variable. Test output with locales.

	* H4 branch 1.87-dbmdeep-hackery revive? It was very broken but I do not
	remember details. Hint: DBM::Deep promises significant memory savings
	and in that branch we tried to see how it can be made to work for us.

	* M3 RT 17353: Flag outdated CPAN sites and move them to the end of the
	list when they have reached 291 hours. (Note: $CPAN/authors/02STAMP)

	* E1: revisit rev 158:159, the introduction of "recent" and "perldoc".
	#21791 has its bugreport. I don't like that most of the subroutines are
	thrown into CPAN::Distribution either. OTOH, we have commands that have
	no central role within CPAN. One can always refuse to use them. Hrm.
	HTML::Display!

	* E5: (again and again) verify that the CPAN.pm-using modules continue
	to work:

	DMUEY/AltaVista-BabelFish
	MSCHILLI/CPAN-Unwind
	ULPFR/CPAN-WAIT
	RJRAY/Devel-Modlist
	SMUELLER/PAR-Dist-FromCPAN
	DAGOLDEN/Perl-Dist
	CRAKRJACK/Test-CPANpm

	* E5 watch RT for open tickets. This todo can never be closed.

	* E1 Todo: continue to close the Pod::Coverage gap. Currently only
	CPAN.pm is covered

	* E3 Todo: write a test for dot-cpan/Metadata usage. Hmmm. Important for
	the future of locking, the future of DBM::Deep, protocol changes. Not
	sure what to test.

	* M3 Todo: investigate what BUGHUNTING in Tarzip means "today": it's
	about a very old bug in Archive::Tar that is most probably fixed. Turn
	bughunting on with the command C< !print$CPAN::Tarzip::BUGHUNTING=1 >.
	It is slow but everything should just plain work. When we're confident
	that everything works, we could offer a tar_policy option that has
	options "ext" and "mod", for external programs vs. modules, default to
	"ext"?

	* M3 Reopened Bug: it seems that a user who is in /bin and has "." in
	the beginning of the path gets ./sh as his shell from FirstTime. If we
	encounter . in the path we should rather ignore it. But first we must
	verify the behaviour. Reported by Slaven Rezic on behalf of Tino
	Schulze. This has nothing to do with -I. but only with the shell and
	$ENV{PATH} and as we do not know which shell it was it seems we cannot
	test for the problem.

	* H1 These days developer TELS posted to perl5-porters that his newest
	release is available at

	    http://bloodgate.com/perl/packages/devel/Math-BigInt-1.78.tar.gz

	Suddenly it dawned on me that I want to support

	    install http://bloodgate.com/perl/packages/devel/Math-BigInt-1.78.tar.gz

	What am I missing?

	The other commands dealing with files would have to learn a bit.

	d http://      # fails as before with "No objects of...."

	               # alt: does a HEAD and tells user that the URL can e reached

	ls http://     # lists nothing

	               # alt: says that ls doesn't support URLs

	get http://    # this is probably all we need to implement. Maybe a new
	               # class needed that does as_string and as_glimpse as well?

	And maybe a pragma that turns this feature on? So that 'get http://...'
	never works but 'force get http://...' does? Alt: config variable to
	turn feature on, then a separate module that implements it.

	Brian likes the idea

oh, very interesting, especially if I already have the file:

	* SQL-Translator-0.07 has a broken signature
	(reported 9 months ago at
	https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16852). When trying to
	install CLACO/Handel-0.99_15 I see this warning running by quite often
	instead of only once and testing of it again and again. And the same for
	Email-Valid and DBIx-Class-Validation.

	Why?

  CLACO/Handel-0.99_15.tar.gz

	Besides the need to find out why the tests are repeated so often, it may

	Yes, this goes really into recursion. Since I have "reuse" turned on,
	the damage is limited but if I had it not on, it would be a lot of
	expensive noops.

	The question is simply: how can I prevent autoinstall from going into
	recursion? I want it to do its detective work and return it to me. Ahhh,
	it does so! It writes them in traditional style into the Makefile. All I
	need to prevent is that this target (the "installdeps" target) is run
	during 'make'. Or that it is being run but does nothing. Or whatever
	that does not repeat what I have already done.

	* Broken: 30shell.t. Recently something changed this:

	Who was it? First time I need a binary search on my own code:)

	Standing at HEAD: fail as above

	Switching back to 1310: fails with Looks like you planned 227 tests but
	only ran 163.

	Running forward with a quick obvious fix: Looks like you planned 227
	tests but only ran 159.

	Switching to 1300: Looks like you planned 227 tests but only ran 163.

	1290: completely broken
	To 1291: Looks like you planned 227 tests but only ran 159.

	1286: ok

	88 ok

	89 ok

	91 ok ???

	1300 ok ???

	1310 ok ???

	Obviously a timing related bug. The ls command seems expensive. Maybe
	perl is slower or the sqlite patch made CPAN.pm slower. Setting the
	default timeout to 30 and ripping out the sqlite patch brings us test ok
	again. Putting back in the sqlite stuff with the small obvious fix in
	the exists method brings test ok again. Setting timout back to 20 again
	and just increasing the timout for the 'ls ANDK' command to 30 brings
	test ok again. All of the successes in the SVN directory.

	* CPAN::SQLite has the dependency on LWP::Simple missing

	* observed a strange behaviour: trying

	test /home/src/perl/cpan-sql-stuff/CPAN-SQLite/.

	early, immediately after Bundle::CPANxxl. Dependency on SQLite is
	recognized, recursive dependency on DBI is recognized, but SQLite does
	not build a SQLite.xsi which seems to indicate that it did not find DBI.

	install helps, so we are still unfriendly to testers?

	* Why did I get no problem with Module::Pluggable before but now do?
	Hmm. Installing on naked 29367 gives no errors. Installing on
	module-rich 29376 gives one test failure:

	* Slaven reports bug: there is a yml file in dot directories named

	* Jifty 0.61123_01 is out and the tests fail on Module::Refresh missing
	and Test::Base as far as I can see.

	Kwalify is out.

	Jifty says what it would like to have:

- App::CLI                       ...missing. (would need 0.03)
- Email::Send                    ...missing. (would need 1.99_01)
- HTML::Mason                    ...missing. (would need 1.3101)
- HTML::Mason::Plugin            ...missing.
- HTTP::Server::Simple           ...missing. (would need 0.20)
- HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder ...missing.
- XML::Simple                    ...missing.
- Module::Install::Admin         ...missing. (would need 0.50)
- Test::HTTP::Server::Simple     ...missing. (would need 0.02)
- Test::WWW::Mechanize           ...missing. (would need 1.04)
- Class::Accessor::Named         ...missing.
- Devel::Cover                   ...missing.
- Module::Install::Admin         ...missing. (would need 0.50)
- PAR::Dist::FromCPAN            ...missing.

	Now that I have Module::Refresh and Test::Base Jifty fails tests due to
	HTML::Mason.

	* Trying to get a binary search running for XML-Feed-0.12. I need to go
	before 20000 where I haven't been for quite a while and nothing works.

	I need to break a circular dependency ExtUtils::CBuilder => File::Spec
	=> PathTools => ExtUtils::CBuilder

	I'm hung at the moment with 19096: it cannot build
	Scalar-List-Utils-1.18 because it fails during perl Makefile.PL:

	Can't call method "load" on an undefined value at inc/Module/Install.pm line 180

	I have tried to install Module::Install myself but this did not help.

	Removing the whole inc directory does not help either. When I improve
	the code at line 180, it just gets reverted magically. This is what I
	tried to insert:

		my $obj = eval { $self->load($method) };
        if ($@) {
          my $err = $@;
          require Carp;
          confess $err;
        }
        $obj or return;

	Running in the debugger fails also because it fails at compile time.

	Giving up on 19096, trying 19523.

	Same thing but I realise that I can skip Scalar-List-Utils. Now I need
	to install LWP with notest. And XML::Atom fails because 'Undefined
	subroutine &utf8::is_utf8 called at t/18-unicode.t line 17.' Use notest
	again. And XML-Feed's test still fails with

t/01-parse............NOK 44/72

	Trying 19096 again. This time XML::Atom cannot write a Build file with
	the same Module::Install bug as above. Giving up.

	Maybe investigate within the maint branch?

	Yes! This shows us an interesting fact: under 29163 we see the same
	failure. Under my /usr/local/perl-5.8.8/ we do not see it. 27048 which
	is closest to 27040 (which would be 5.8.8 exactly).

	Same failure. So it's very likely a module dependency. Some recent
	module upgrade probably. my 5.8.8 installation might still have the old
	one and updating breaks? The successfully testing 5.8.8 says

	Yes, and when I downgrade XML::RSS to 1.1, then the test failure goes
	away.

	Bingo. Another case for "goto".

	* I just wrote in a mail to Sendu Bala:

  > On a tangentially related note, are there any plans to make CPAN do
  > anything useful with the 'recommends'/'optional_features' information
  > in a META.yml file?

No. I never considered this a job for CPAN.pm. If I had the time,
inclination and fu to write talk-me-through-optional-features
software, I'd write it independently from CPAN.pm.

I think of CPAN.pm as the glue between the user and the CPAN mantras.
CPAN.pm 1.89 will allow the users to store their preferences about
optional things in any CPAN package, no matter how the packages
themselves manage them. If you play with 1.88_62 see the 00.README in
the distroprefs directory. But it's no
talk-me-through-optional-features software.

Or if you prefer a drawing:

	* hosts statistics: the host with the most unsuccessful downloads is
	which? Of course the one that lead the urllist. That doesn't prove
	anything.

	* answer Sendu Bala two mails, one private, one on cpan-workers

	* From a mail I sent to Slaven about Tk:

Mit 20002 bekomme ich t/regexp.t     2   512    21    2  10-11
Mit 29332             t/regexp.t     0    11    21   36  4-21

Letzteres entspricht wohl Deinem Coredump.

Noch sehe ich keine wirklich saubere Strategie fuer binsearch. Die
bereits frueher angewendete mit 'notest install' zuerst und dann
nochmaligem test von regexp.t scheint die einfachste im Moment. Den
habe ich auch grade eben gestartet.

Sauber waere wohl, wenn man 'make test' dazu bringen koennte, nur
schlicht und einfach ein einziges Skript aufzurufen. --> Todo

	* After all the prereq hassles with XML::Atom I finally could install it
	for perl 20002 after many manual interventions but without overrule
	(except when we call the XML::LibXML=1.61003 decision as an overrule)

	After the same hassles under 29332 I see the test failure

*** Dependencies will be installed the next time you type 'make'.
    (You may need to do that as the 'root' user.)
*** Module::AutoInstall configuration finished.

	Next step is to document what is wrong with the prereqs and present the
	findings to author.

	1. Test fails on XML::XPath.         requires bug
	2. Ditto on LWP::UserAgent           requires bug
	3. Ditto on Digest::SHA1             requires bug
	4. Ditto on DateTime                 requires bug
	5. Ditto on XML::LibXML not so obviously!) requires bug

	XML::XPath
	LWP::UserAgent
	Digest::SHA1
	DateTime
	XML::LibXML
	
	It may be the case that the author thought that a user that says no to
	an optional feature will accept failing tests. But I'd expect that if I
	say no to a feature then this feature is not tested at all. And I'd
	argue this is important because a user can usually not reliably
	differentiate proprely between failing tests due to bugs and failing
	tests due to missing prereqs. No bug on Module::AutoInstall side.

	Now our manual binary search stands at 27069(ok) and 29332(not ok) and
	our patch seems to be clear: add the above 5 modules to requires and not
	as optional modules.

	Done and it worked with 28618.

	* Need a way to specify a different distribution for a module. Say, we
	realize that the officially current XML::LibXML 1.62 is broken but some
	PAJAS/XML-LibXML-1.61003.tar.gz still works. I think, I'd like

	  ->{goto} = "PAJAS/XML-LibXML-1.61003.tar.gz"

	DONE

	* Need a way to specify notest from distroprefs. When we know Strptime
	doesn't pass a test but we know that the problem is harmless or can be
	ignored for some reason. I think, I'd like ->{test}{skip} = 1

	* Todo: LWP::Authen::Wsse is an optional prereq of XML::Atom but did not
	get installed. Need to find out how to signal to AutoInstall that I want
	all recommendations installed. Ahh, I find that XML::Atom not only uses
	AutoInstall but also Module::Build and that writes a _build/prereq file
	and I could read that. I would then find that 'recommends' hashref and I
	could then start installing what I find there.

	But how do I know that the user wants that the recommendations be
	installed?

	While watching what Module::Install is doing and trying out variations I
	get the impression that I have no chance to do the right thing. If the
	user says, he wants the recommendations, they still do not end up in
	META.yml or _build/prereqs or where else should I look?

	After the user has said that he wants everything, we see

Checking prerequisites...
 * Optional prerequisite LWP::Authen::Wsse is not installed
 * Optional prerequisite XML::LibXML is not installed
 * Optional prerequisite DateTime is not installed

	But nobody builds or installs them. I find them nowhere in the build
	directory stored away. And yet, when I test XML::Atom, it requires it
	magically and I have to install them manually.

	* Todo: the order of lines in the "failed" command or "failed" report
	section is, given identical command ID, I believe, random. Need a
	timestamp for finer granular sorting. That would make the listing much
	more useful because the first is the most important, all others may be
	followup errors.

	* Todo: write a Makefile target for the 3 *.dd files in distroprefs DONE

	* Todo: Storable support for distroprefs DONE

	* Since I fixed the bootstrapping problem of YAML/Expect/ReadLine by
	allowing fallback dd files, I thought that now I would be able to run
	binary searches more often for broken (or unexpectedly fixed) modules.
	My first victim should be DateTime::Format::Strptime. But binary search
	converged towards 2794[123] and it was so obvious from mere watching
	that this turning point was not the Strptime problem but some other
	Params::Validate related problem. P:V 0.86 broke at 27942 and so
	DateTime could not be built and Date::Time::Locale could not be built
	and Strptime could also not pass its tests.

	At some point in time later P:V worked again and so we have this
	eclipse: at 27942 the still working Strptime disappeared in the shadow
	of P:V and when P:V started to work again, Strptime was broken (or was
	it not?). If it broke we cannot see where it broke unless we start
	another higher level view that throws extra patches around.

	The good news is that we can determine the duration of the eclipse of
	P:V: it broke at 27942 and reappeared between 28156 and 28181 (closer
	examination pending).

	Very nice: Strptime worked with 28181 and so we can run another binary
	search between 28181 and 29312. Breakage at 28325 and report sent to P5P

	* why is reuse_old_builddir (sp?) turned off in degraded mode? I think
	there is no good reason. FIXED

	* Observed that the E of DONE is in the second line during "03". Take
	the algorithm in reanimate_build_dir() around line 4175 in all three
	index files. It's easier to read and workd even for @items < 76. DONE

	* display the commandid during the failed command -- just for a while. I
	want to see how big the holes are and if they look plausible. -- They
	have all the same number! FIXED

	* Bug: ~/.cpan/sources/modules is full with backup files FIXED in 1360

	* distroprefs with artificial intelligence: find out how to write a

	I just realized that YAML::Syck talked me into a different dialogue on
	some older bleadperl that had YAML 0.60 installed:

*** WARNING ***

This release breaks compatibility with versions earlier than version 0.60 of
YAML::Syck and YAML.pm when serializing blessed references.

See the COMPATIBILITY file for more information.

*** Pre-0.60 version of YAML.pm (0.53) detected.
Continue installing YAML::Syck? [y]

	We would like to answer to this question yes if it comes. Or we would
	like to upgrade YAML first.

	One would think that Expect collects data and compares them to a pool of
	regular expressions each of which has an associated answer. As soon as
	one expression matches, its answer is given and it is taken out of the
	pool. On EOF do not even complain. Very similar to what we do now. Is it
	even worth to keep the current interface? Yes, because it has the
	potential to break. Because Expect itself does not provide it. We must
	write some code in between:

	Variant 1: match on /./, look at the whole collected string, do the
	match loop. On success do as we do now, on failure continue as we do
	now. On timeout do like we do now. On EOF exit the loop silently. As
	test write a distro that asks 12 questions in random order and dies if
	the wrong answer is given.

	Variant 2: match on /./ until timeout is reached. Now do your own
	matching. On success do as we do now, on failure give up. One question
	that we cannot answer is too much. There is no timeout error, just a "no
	prepared regex matches the question". On EOF exit the loop silently.

	Variant 2 is much better.

	Today I wrote CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-Expect-1.00.tar.gz for that.

	Hmmm. So Randy wants to have use_sqlite to be set before we enter the
	shell and he wants it only within the shell. This is pretty likely
	wrong.

	Trying to set use_sqlite earlier with a tiny patch to Makefile.PL.
	Doesn't work because CPAN::SQLite loads MyConfig again according to the
	debugger:

	$ = require '/home/k/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm' called from file `/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/peHlG5S/perl-5.8.0@29243/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/CPAN/SQLite.pm' line 50

	So we lose the switch again. Back to the drawing board.

	Either I need a way to use CPAN::SQLite without having it guess CPAN.pm
	internals all over the place. Or Randy needs a CPAN.pm that has API
	calls for all the CPAN.pm internals. I cannot allow a plugin that tries
	to reload the Config file and overwriting the Internals that I have
	currently set. This is happening and makes it hard to predict what will
	happen next.

Andreas

Speaking of bad configs, I think I might be a good idea to start
adding some basic error checks.

Yesterday I got caught by the various paths not allowing the use of
tilde ~. Instead of my homedir, it installed to a directory called,
literally, "~".

Apart from being a little annoying, fixing it required I make the
scariest command I've ever done on a production system.

rm -rf "~"

	* randy kobes sent two patches--Thanks Randy, I'm swamped with work ATM

	* imacat writes in #22749:

	[the protocol shows how the fourth host succeeds for
	TIMB/DBI-1.53.tar.gz but CPAN.pm then fetches the CHECKSUMS file from
	the first]

	For young files there is often a short timespan within which there is no
	entry in the checksums file yet, even if they come from the same host.
	As you are always working with very young files, I'm surprised it
	doesn't happen more often to you.

	But in principle you are right, CPAN.pm should try to get checksums file
	from the same host because the likelihood is higher to get an uptpdate
	checksums file.

	sub _ftp_statistics
	sub _new_stats
	sub _add_to_statistics
	sub _recommend_url_for

	And then fill the stats hashref in each of the download methods
	individually:

	method, hosts tried with successmode, time finished, file size,
	timestamp!

	First working version with crappy stats (no nosuccess reflection) now
	tested with a couple of European sites in urllist and running

	!unlink "/home/k/.cpan/sources/authors/id/N/NW/NWCLARK/Acme-Meta-0.02.tar.gz"
	force test Acme::Meta

	in an endless loop looks good.

	Now todo: improve the statistics with above mentioned fields and with
	nosuccess data and actually honour the $file argument to
	_recommend_url_for() when a CHECKSUMS file is requested. Maybe make the
	randomness a selectable feature?

	FIXED

	New ideas from Slaven: patch -p0/1/etc might be autodetected

	More match variables like all config variables or $^O ("os"?) and
	perlver.

	Finally: leaving back the .orig files (which I called -g0, why?) only
	when debugging turned on?? I think I'll remove -b and -g0 and use
	$ENV{PATCH_GET}=0 instead. Honorable mention: Text::Patch, unfortunately
	stalled.

2006-11-01  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Locking needs to be resolved soonish to enable safe concurrent
	megainstalls and concurrent running shells.

	I want to share the build_dir first because this is currently the most
	dangerous spot. I suppose we can have it by using File::Temp for the
	individual build_dir. We would have to turn off build_dir_reuse for the
	second process (Update 2006-11-17: Why?). Nobody would ever overwrite a
	build_dir. Some guys would remove old directories and this would do no
	harm. Should be done in rev. 1183.

	Even if the second uses the same perl as the first one, we could coexist
	because many commands scan the INC repeatedly. Things we do not scan
	again and again are ???

	historyfile: We would have to set histfile to nil for the second. DONE
	1181

	metadata: we would turn it off for the second. We could
	neither read nor write it safely without locking protocol. DONE 1181

	reading traditional index files: make writing atomic, let the second
	only read them (by setting expiration time to inf). DONE 1181 Actually,
	this was nonsense. the expiration time must not be changed. The user
	wants to read index files from time to time... REVERTED in 1188

	ability to reload index: turn off for the second DONE 1181

	storing/listing local bundles: risk REVISIT LATER

	local directories with the dot: risk REVISIT LATER

	shared source: make it atomic to download (if it isn't yet) DONE 1180

	Different perspective: batch jobs have not had a lock ever since CPAN.pm
	exists. They could break each other on any occasion. Did they write the
	histfile? Seems not so. Timestamp does not change with my tests and it
	does not say "Lockfile removed". Yes, checklock is only called from the
	shell (and from mkmyconfig but this is negligible). REVISIT mkmyconfig

	But they read metadata and shouldn't. Disable! DONE 1181

	And they reuse build_dir. Disable! DONE 1181

	But they MUST read the index files: make writing atomic! DONE 1180

	Is CPAN::FTP::localize doing its storage management atomicly? YES, since 1180

	Todo: consider setting scan_cache to "never" or maybe not.

	* Todo: compare the output of the 'failed' command within megainstall
	and after reentering the shell. DONE and found one bug and fixed it in
	rev. 1178

	* I wanted to watch some scenarios with persistent data. Especially with
	modules that work and that are being tested again and again with prereqs
	and without or within bundles and if they are retested or not, installed
	or not with persistence and within the same session.

	Write a megatest?

	* Wondering why I find this in the build directory in Crypt-CBC-2.22.yml:

  writemakefile: !!perl/hash:CPAN::Distrostatus 
    COMMANDID: 0
    FAILED: ''
    TEXT: YES

	Note the 0 in COMMANDID.

	A: The reason is that we only issued one command with 'make
	megainstall', so this is correct.

	* Does the shell still do locking? Under which circumstances is locking
	turned off? Console/terminal I suppose.

	A: yes.

2006-10-31  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* just a memo what I usually install:

	    install Bundle::CPANxxl Math::BigInt::GMP Plagger Bundle::Phalanx100 Jifty Coro Getopt::Euclid DBIx::Class IPC::PubSub Bundle::Pause PadWalker Graph::Easy

	YAML::Syck after Bundle::CPAN did not turn off interactivity.

	YAML::Syck before Bundle::CPAN worked well.

	CPAN::Reporter before YAML worked well but we want to catch the early
	YAML interactivity (which in turn can be avoided with YAML::Syck).

	Now all in "make megainstall" including logging.

	* Todo: some capture stuff maybe collected into the YAML files in
	build_dir that contains all relevant output of that distro so we can
	study the nonsense that currently goes on when I do my mega install on
	maint-5.8.

	For some reason some modules failed early in the cycle and then never
	got re-tested. And they broke others which also didn't get re-tested. In
	the end we had a lot of modules uninstalled that would test individually
	well but all refused to re-test without force.
	
	One simple solution was to 'force test Bundle::CPANxxl' but that took
	many minutes again.

	[What's the deal with PathTools? Ahh, the dependency on
	ExtUtils::CBuilder again. I have reported the bug but it is not yet
	fixed. FIXED in Bundle::CPAN by pulling CBuilder to the front,]

	For example the chain broke: CPAN::Checksums -> Data::Compare ->
	File::Find::Rule -> Number::Compare. I could install Number::Compare now
	when I asked for it (without force!), and then the chain could be
	resolved step after step.

	Something's fishy.

2006-10-30  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Q: Why is this: during install Bundle::Phalanx100 I get for
	DBD::Oracle a writemakefile NO
	'/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pIOeQkH/perl-5.8.0@29165/bin/perl
	Makefile.PL' returned status 65280

	When I leave the shell and start it again and call 'failed' it is gone.

	A: because we did not care for the state safe

	* Need to write build_dir/*.yml files also if reuse is turned off. And
	also when we fail.

	* Need a 'disabled' keyword on distroprefs. The hack to use
	cpanconfig/make=false is both Unix centric and not obvious. ADDED in
	rev. 1159

	* distroprefs is harder to use with build_dir_reuse than before. We now
	need "force get" more often because the old prefs value is in the distro
	object. Force get can mean a network connection, so there's a need to
	decide how we want to deal with that.

	First idea is to remove the prefs from the serialized object but this is

	* think about the locking from a different angle: currently it is
	possible but unsafe to have concurrent access to the .cpan/build
	directory

	* go after the Module::Build errors in Error.pm and Mason: I suspect
	that's the set_perl5lib bug mentioned by Ilya. NO, it was not the
	set_perl5lib bug. The bug is that the two distros use subclassing in
	their Build.PL and so Module::Build's own methods are unable to provide
	the prerequisites. My workaround for now is to fall back to the content
	of META.yml, the bug persists and needs to be discussed with M:B people.

	And I promise to try out a more granular locking mechanism. This was
	between 2006-01-26 and 2006-02-01 (and I wrote a paragraph into the
	manpage how multiple ~/.cpan* directories could work)

2006-10-27  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Test if "reuse" works without metadata (timing issues because the
	entries do not exist yet?) No, it doesn't! FIXED in rev 1149

	* Investigate what happens if a user has CPAN 1.8802 and Module::Build
	0.2611 and tries to upgrade to 0.2805. Gabor says, it fails. If it
	fails, I'll have to coin a new phrase for the bug: install suicide? No
	need to worry, ATM it works more or less well, but it doesn't fail
	rightaway. CHECKED after rev. 1149 or so.

	* Rethink if Ilya's expire_old_builds is better the build_dir_reuse in
	that it sets an expiration date. His -1 is my 1. His 0 is my 0. I have
	nothing like his 30. The name of his variable is not good in that one
	could believe that setting expire_old_builds==0 might mean to do NOT
	expire them at all. Hmm. I think my build_dir_reuse is good enough.

	* Todo: invent a test for build_dir_reuse. It should construct a YAML
	file before test start that will then be picked up and lead to some
	"already in..." which we test for. And then we use force to actually get
	that distro. Or we do that for an inexistent distro so that we do not
	have to rewrite the test after each new release? DONE in rev. 1152

2006-10-25  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: if the user does not want to install a module (say a
	build_requires), give him options to use the already tested module even
	after he has left the shell.

	Ilya seems to say, people do NOT want to install a number of modules
	because they are not yet sure if they really need them. But they have
	tested them and have them still lying around in their ~/.cpan/build
	directory. So we should give them a chance to use them next time they
	come around with the same perl.

	DONE in rev. 1140 with build_dir_reuse

	* Todo: put the distro ID close to the OK or NOT OK line DONE in rev.
	1136 or so.

	* What was the deal with

Package 'CPAN' already declared with version '1.88_57'
ignoring new version ''.
Looks good

	http://www.mail-archive.com/module-build@perl.org/msg00340.html

	* Since DBI is fixed I see other interesting breakages: Class::DBI,
	RPC::PlServer, GD.

	GD fails with 5.8.8 and 5.8.3

	Class::DBI fails with 5.8.8

	RPC::PlServer fails with 5.8.8 and 5.8.3 but only if Crypt::DES is

	* Coro 2.0 works with bleadperl Yay! YAML for Coro with default answers

	* bug with notest pragma: it seems to remain in the distro object. I did
	a report DAGOLDEN/CPAN-Reporter-0.28_51.tar.gz, then I did a "notest
	install" on it. Then I reloaded and tried a "report" on it again and
	CPAN refused to run the test because of the notest pragma.

	FIXED in rev. 1132 but what is a good test for it? test WRITTEN in 1133.

2006-10-23  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* The ->VERSION bug was back for a short while. It happens when
	version.pm is not installed and Module::Build loads its own version.pm
	from . There it finds 0.661 and this does something that isn't
	fool proof, very hard to diagnose and to reproduce. Easy workaround: do
	not check for Module::Signature->VERSION anymore. The test was on 0.26
	and we now have 0.55, so I guess, I can remove the version test.

	As soon as I have means to not call into Module::Build, this bug will
	diappear for sure, so no need to hunt it down from here. FINISHED in
	rev. 1123

	So recall: one can turn off sig_check, then install version, then leave
	and enter CPAN.pm and the bug should disappear. Or we release 1.88_57
	now. Update: I released 1.88_57 immediately after that.

	latter half FIXED in rev. 1124

	First half done with rev. 1125

	* Write an executive summary of the state of affairs wrt. distroprefs so
	we can decide about future directions. Update the README file to better
	outline the executive summary. Update the examples to better reflect our
	powers and weaknesses.

	What we have:

	- Give the user a simple system to store per-distro preferences related
	to environment variables, commandline args and stdin for the four
	commands of our traditional mantra: perl Makefile.PL, make, make test,
	make install (and symmetrically for M:B modules)

	- Give the user the option to patch distros with arbitrary patches from
	local disk or CPAN

	What we aim at:

	- Give the users a simple means to exchange their preferences to reduce
	the overhead of maintaining them. As it currently stands, those YAML
	files devaluate quickly as new distros arrive.

	conf' mechanism and has not yet saved the new config via 'o conf commit'
	and is leaving the shell without saving, we could trigger a dialog.
	#22396 talks about this.

	After some thinking: maybe I prefer just a loud warning instead of a
	hanging terminal. Hmmm.

	This is a critical/showstopper thing because people perceive it as a
	bug. rev. 1114 FIXES

	* Todo: find out the remaining relevant pieces of Ilya's patch:

	(1) better logging (maybe with the help of CPAN::Reporter?) I said below
	that we have colors now, but fact is that you have to scroll back and if
	you install 100 modules, you cannot investigate without disturbing the
	process. One would like to study STDOUT and STDERR in a separate window.

	(2) "cpantok#" keep some test OK state between sessions. I see no strong
	need for this ATM.

	* just a memo what I usually install:

	    o debug CPAN Distribution
	    install YAML::Syck Expect YAML Bundle::CPAN Module::Signature CPAN::Reporter Math::BigInt::GMP Plagger Bundle::Phalanx100 Jifty

	YAML::Syck after Bundle::CPAN did not turn off interactivity.

	YAML::Syck before Bundle::CPAN worked well.

	CPAN::Reporter before YAML worked well but we want to catch the early
	YAML interactivity (which in turn can be avoided with YAML::Syck).

	* as long as HTML::Mason/Module::Build are broken, we should use
	Bundle::HTML::Mason? Alas, it doesn't list HTML::Entities. And after
	that it still fails on 07-interp.t. Ah, ok. Report sent. But can we
	patch it? DONE

	* Maybe add support for more CPAN::Config variables in distroprefs

	* Todo: document the trailing dot and that it is useful in a Bundle file
	and that there is a LOCAL.trailing_dot_distros.yml in the distroprefs
	directory. DONE in rev. 1093

	* Todo: extend patch ability to files from CPAN to be downloaded on the
	fly DONE in rev. 1089

2006-10-20  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* highest prio: patches. Easy to test with an example against one of my
	failing dummy distros. DONE in rev. 1086

	* add 'perl' to the matches stuff of distroprefs DONE in rev. 1087

	* When we have support for patches and apply patches, we should also
	disable reporting through CPAN::Reporter. DONE in rev. 1088

2006-10-19  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Ilya's patch

	svn cp -r 131 https://pause.perl.org:5460/svn/cpanpm/trunk https://pause.perl.org:5460/svn/cpanpm/branches/1.76-ilya200610

	https://pause.perl.org:5460/svn/cpanpm/branches/1.76-ilya200610 now lives in

	/home/k/sources/CPAN/SVN-branches/1.76-ilya200610/

	and the patch is applied and checked in. Ready for studying.

	Original discussion: google groups for prerequisites_policy expire_old_builds.

	Today I would suggest

	(1) prio 1!: organize patching into distroprefs, full path within the
	YAML file seems acceptable (DONE)

	(2) organize logging into distroprefs via redirection (might be easy but
	prio low because we have colors now)

	(3) keep the new meaning of the trailing dot, it does not interfere with
	patching as it is for *personal* distrodirectories (make sure it works
	with local bundles! (DONE[it did already])). For local distros one does
	not need patching (and if you do, you know what you're doing).

	(4) mark_tested_ok is similar to distcc/ccache and could probably be
	implemented as such. The time consuming step on perl distros is 'make
	test' and that makes it very complicated. One would need a checksum of
	perl AND all used modules during the test. Like for example File::Slurp
	failing with current combination of perl and Test::Pod::Coverage but
	succeeding without T:P:C

	Poor man's variant of it may be one that works only with a perl checksum
	or mtime as Ilya did. Still seems outside the scope of CPAN.pm but
	should be supported once it works outside with simple mantra.

	For now, distroprefs give you a different 'make' command for a
	permanently-known-to-be-tested module, that might be just 'true' on UNIX
	or something to do with distcc/ccache-like solution.

	That might be annoying if one works with different perls and want to
	have different modules marked as tested_ok. Maybe we need to add "perl"
	into the "match" structure? (Yes!) (DONE)

	(5) Faszinating is the idea to leave the shell and come back into the
	same state of already tested but uninstalled modules. But why are they
	not installed? Hrm, maybe because once installed, nobody will re-test
	them? Need further arguments.

	(6) install_tested is the normal default when running 'install' instead
	of 'test'. What's the deal?

	(7) containsdists is implemented but nowhere used, so what?

	(8) I have not yet understood the distinction between force_test and
	force_update and the call $self->test('install') seems bogus.

	* just a memo what I usually install:

	    o debug CPAN Distribution
	    force install Expect
	    install YAML Bundle::CPAN Module::Signature CPAN::Reporter Math::GMP Math::BigInt::GMP Plagger Bundle::Phalanx100 Jifty

	YAML::Syck after Bundle::CPAN did not turn off interactivity.

	YAML::Syck before Bundle::CPAN worked well.

	CPAN::Reporter before YAML worked well but we want to catch the early
	YAML interactivity (which in turn can be avoided with YAML::Syck).

	* From David Golden forwarded rt.cpan.org #20979

+    * Restored the behavior of dying if any subtests failed.  This is a

	* Add Jifty to your regular testing.

	* Need to look after Math::Pari's errors DONE: 

	#ifdef LONG_SHORTER_THAN_IV
  #  error "LONG_SHORTER_THAN_IV not implemented"

	seems to be related to -Duse64bitint. Report to Ilya sent.

	* First thought: it would be cleaner if you just didn't pass any distro

	Good. I'll make that then.

	DONE in rev. 1061

	* More files to be marked with svn:ignore. DONE in rev. 1063

2006-10-16  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* two distroprefs files were in 1.88_55 but not in SVN:-( must write

2006-10-15  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Investigate what's going on with Crypt::DH and Net::SSH::Perl. Both
	seem to hang during the tests. Might be a GMP issue. We must pull GMP to
	the front, otherwise Math::Bigint takes all the time (I suppose). Hrm,
	the DH test ran over hours even with GMP (but I'm not sure yet, need to
	make the observation control tighter).

	* Feature request by Slaven: build a patched thing. Reminds me of Ilyas
	words about something involving patches. Maybe (1) if the argument ends
	with a dot, it is a local directory: go there and build. (DONE in rev.
	1056) Maybe (2) keyword patch in distroprefs. (DELAYED indefinitely)

	* Test installing Plagger with saying yes to all dependency questions.
	Needs 63 times "Y\n" :-) => say --defaultdeps instead of --installdeps=y
	DONE in rev. 1038

	* Add support for all(?) other CPAN::Config variables. Maybe by turning
	them all into methods in CPAN::Distribution, maybe via autoload, maybe
	with clever use of local(). Currently only "make",
	"make_install_make_command", and "build_requires_install_policy" are
	supported. The first two for PDL on freebsd, the last one was just for
	quick testing of the mechanism. Added test_report around rev. 1061

	* Slaven want direct support for $Config->{make} and
	make_install_make_command so that it can be set to gnumake for PDL on
	freebsd. DONE in rev 1015

	* Slaven says that no user knows the distroname as well as the module
	name. ==> Change the prefs hash structure. "qr" shall be replaced by

	Holy crap! Recursive installation where we are just eager to maintain a
	clean and efficient queue of installation objects and could do it
	ourselves so easily? And besides that, the INC path is not our INC path,
	so I always get a different CPAN version. While the latter is only
	disturbing a minority, it's a BUUUUUUG to go recursive.

	Not only does it cost memory, this child is also uninformed about failed
	installations!

	This needs to be fixed.

	The manpage of M:AI says it checks if it is running under CPAN.pm. Maybe
	this check is wrong? Apparently yes.

2006-10-12  Andreas J. Koenig

	our yaml file only answered once FIXED.

	* improve feedback when you pick a file for prefs settings, maybe store

	* Nice to have: CPAN::MyDistroPrefs to store arguments and expect
	scripts to Makefile.PL/make/test/install based on regexes being matched
	against the distroname. (think libwww, ReadLine, perl-ldap, Apache-Test,
	and always questions from Module::AutoInstall, Carp::Clan asks if I want
	a prereq for testing from Makefile.PL, Net::DNS ask if I want to run
	tests over the internet, mod_perl or Apache::Test asks me for the apache
	executable, Authen-PAM asks me for a password, Module::Signature asks
	for importing the key)

	Name? DistroPrefs is good. Customize is not so good because one would
	expect that it is related to 'o conf'. Distro must be in the name.
	DistroCustomize is too long so DistroBuildEnv seems completely out of
	band. Only Prefs is tempting but again too easily confusable with 'o
	conf' stuff. Something completely different? Its about Env, Args, Stdin.
	BuildInput? Distrinput? Distrin? No. DistroPrefs the long word, prefs
	the short one. 'reload prefs' might be a command if we need it at all.

	ALL DONE in rev. 1015; well, left in alpha state

	* Todo/buglet: turn on debug "CPAN" and find the reason why
	incommandcolor is quite often not reset.

	First example is "Net::Stomp" with a prereq of Class::Accessor::Fast.
	After it and its prereq are installed, the module Class::Accessor::Fast
	and the distro K/KA/KASEI/Class-Accessor-0.25.tar.gz are both still in
	command state.

	So it's something with follow_prereqs.

	Seems to be fixed with rev. 980 but needs to stay on the watchlist

	No, I just tried Bundle::Phalanx100 and the majority of modules was in
	commandcolor and many were neither installed nor reported as failed, so
	the rev. 908 may be buggier than we ever were?? Maybe its just the "run
	it twice" problem due to late dependency resolving. Oh and watch the
	ugly bug that shows up when makeing Mason!

	AHHHH, that is fixable with eval! FIXED in rev. 981.

2006-10-07  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: clean up XXX

	* automatic testing? Is it anywhere documented what the impacts of
	$ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} are?

	* new keyword capture? CPAN::Reporter does not know the output of the
	commands before "test" and cannot report about compilation failures.
	This looks like a major flaw to me:-(

	* E1: Nice to have: make YAML vs. YAML::Syck switchable. Another
	advantage would be that we could remove YAML from the Bundle. DONE rev. 986

	* reload cpan should be based on timestamps. Fixed in rev. 979

	* Bug via Bundle::Phalanx100? Shortly after perl-ldap-0.33 I see 

Unknown require type for 'G/GB/GBARR/Convert-ASN1-0.20.tar.gz', setting to 'r'. This should not happen and is construed a bug.

	Later:
	
Unknown require type for 'A/AG/AGROLMS/GSSAPI-0.23.tar.gz', setting to 'r'. This should not happen and is construed a bug.

	Todo: see after it. I think it's AutoInstall.

	What I had done was to install CPAN::Reporter but forgot the sudo for
	make. Then I added the sudo to make_install_make_command and did a
	'force get' and then the above. The install was successful in the end
	but the "Sorry" message was written in red and completely bogus and
	together with the 'Refusing to autoload' message was frightening.

	Showstopper!

	Trying to reproduce by setting both m*_install_*_command variables to
	"false", then install CPAN::Reporter. This gives a long list of failed
	installs at the end. Then 'install File::Copy::Recursive' works as
	expected: already tried without success. Then 'force get F:C:R' works as
	expected. And then again 'install File::Copy::Recursive' works as
	expected: tests again and tries to install.

	Shhhhhhh, so I cannot reproduce this, something must have been different.

	GIVEN UP: this did not show up again in any test

	My current 26984 replies to "r" command with....no 5.8.8?

	Strange! Why no 5.8.8? Ahhh, because it had no Archive::Tar and Pod::Man
	is on podlators 2.0.5.

	Trying 26876: no good.

	26727: Good! 26727 wants to upgrade Dumpvalue and bring it ot

	But it reveals unacceptable timing when run via 'reload index'. Timing
	is much better when called as above. Quite confusing is the fact that
	03modlist does not print dots during reload but does so on first time.
	So more debugging called for. FIXED in rev. 956

	* Bug: the line number in the Debug messages is very often wrong. FIXED
	in rev. 955

	* E3 prerequisites: require perl version xxx: we should not delete that
	information but honour it. DONE in rev. 952

	* Todo: do the right thing with prereq "perl". Find modules suited for
	testing.

	"5.8.3" : File-BOM-0.12, XML-DOM-Lite-0.08, Business-ReportWriter-0.09

	">= 5.8.0" : Devel-FIXME-0.01

	"0" : Net-Address-IPv4-Local-0.12

	"" : Net-IRC2-0.27

	The full list of found requires to "perl" today is:

	5.002|5.000|>= 5|>= 5.6|5.6|5.8|5.8.4|>= 5.8.0|5.8.2|5.8.7|5.5.3|5.8.3|>= 5.6.0|5.004|>= 5.008|5.005_03|0|5.5.0|5.4.5|5.00307|5.00503|5.8.0|5.005|5.008|5.7.1|>= 5.005_04|5.007|5.8.1|5.005003|5.6.0|5.006|5.6.1|5.7.3|5

	DONE in rev. 952

	* Todo: investigate if we want a different amount of newlines depending
	on readline availability. Who is it who displays the extra newline as
	soon as readline is active? It is apparently coming from readline and I
	see no reason to interfere. REJECT

	* Todo: send a patch to P5P that adds Queue.pm to the MANIFEST.

	* Todo: add to 30shell the case of repeated testing that was fixed in
	rev 915

	* Attention when testing: Lingua::Alphabet::Phonetic::Password makes
	Test::Pod a "build_requires"; Lingua::Alphabet::Phonetic makes it a
	"requires" instead. So we have it both as "r" and "b" in the queue and
	the first one wins over the other. So once we have something not
	installed due to "b", we cannot install it anymore unless we use
	force:-( It would be nice to make this less confusing for the user and
	resolvable without force for the expert.

	This warrants new tests in 30shell. Let's do diamond dependency:
	CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Build shall build_require
	CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make and require CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-Zip.
	And CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-Zip shall require
	CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make. We have not tested install yet (I think) and
	we can try to set make_install_make_command to a perl oneliner or so.
	This constallation shall try to install CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make
	because requires trumps build_requires.

	Interactive testing strategy right now:

	rm -f /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/prCXKHM/perl-5.8.0@28904/lib/site_perl/5.9.4/CPAN/Test/Dummy/Perl5/Build.pm /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/prCXKHM/perl-5.8.0@28904/lib/site_perl/5.9.4/CPAN/Test/Dummy/Perl5/Make/Zip.pm
	make run

	o debug Distribution Queue Shell Module
	o conf build_requires_install_policy no
	install CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Build

	That brings me to the idea that it would be nice to add these

	* Todo: test bundles and reqtype; especially when you do NOT install
	things because this opens new branches of code execution DONE

	* Todo: ... and finally we will have to carefully differentiate what we
	do with the things that we get off the queue: breqs shall not be
	installed. And we need a user pref here: treat build_requires as
	requires would have the advantage that the build_requires stuff be
	installed and may save time on the next occasion.

	This needs to be coordinated with David because it breaks
	CPAN::Reporter. Hi, Dave!

	New config option build_requires_install_policy: yes|no|ask/no|ask/yes

	DONE in rev. 916

	* Bug: build_requires that are not installed currently are being tested
	more than once within a single command. Maybe the same bug as described

2006-09-27  Andreas J Koenig  

	* Todo: canonify usage of req/reqtype/etc. into "reqtype" and shorten

	* find out since when Expect has a failing test with bleadperl. Take
	test #38 alone and do a binary search on it. 26453 has already once been

	will..."

2006-09-23  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* So what was 886 about? Put CPAN::Queue in its own file.

	* Bug introduced between 881 and 886. If a Module::Build module fails,
	we happily take it as an OK. CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Build-Fails reveals
	the bug. Going back step by step with 'svn up -r XXX' we see what was
	broke too: 885, 884, 883, 882, 881!!!

	What!??? 881 was a release! Between 879 and 881 no code changed.

	878 was a bit different. And 877. And all have this bug suddenly.

	So I start to believe it is a bug in the maint-5.8 branch or in some
	module we installed since. My maint is 28854 right now.

	Testing again with bleadperl and 886: NOT BROKEN!

	The only two modules out of date in my blead are Class::Accessor and
	version.pm.

	Outdated modules in current maint-5.8:

	CGI CPAN Devel::PPPort Digest Encode ExtUtils::Command ExtUtils::Install
	ExtUtils::Manifest ExtUtils::ParseXS IO Locale::Maketext Math::Complex
	Sys::Syslog Term::ANSIColor Test::Builder Test::Harness Text::Balanced
	Text::Soundex Text::Tabs Tie::RefHash Time::HiRes Time::Local
	Unicode::Normalize threads threads::shared

	Updated as much as I could and ALL IS WELL.

	So now we don't know who was to blame. Restarting over and going step by
	step: it was Test::Harness 2.58. So we have a difficult-to-explain
	dependency here: CPAN + Module::Build-deploying modules + Test::Harness
	< 2.62 leads to not recognized test failures. I put Test::Harness into
	the Bundle::CPAN. Maybe I must verify the Test::Harness version before
	testing MB modules? FIXED by making T:H 2.62 a PREREQ_PM and testing
	again in the code. In rev. 888

	* Todo: 'dump symbol', say 'dump $CPAN::META'. But pipe into the pager
	for large datasets! DONE in rev. 885

	* build_requires: need two modules that have build_dependencies which I
	do not install and still both must build. This means, I inject the
	build_dependencies into the queue and flag them as build_dependency
	which then leeds to a simple make or test for them, never to an install.
	Up to now we use set_perl5lib during CPAN::Distribution::test. In the
	future we would need a similar vein during the two earlier stages,
	{Makefile,Build}.PL and make. Yes, this should do.

	Where are our build_requires? I keep forgetting the URL where Randy Sims
	provides so useful statistics. Here it is:
	http://thepierianspring.org/perl/meta/

	And the build_requires page is here:
	http://thepierianspring.org/perl/meta/fields_in_use/build_requires.html

	But manually skimming the 876 distros is tedious, so I need again my own
	script.

	One thing is complicated: when a module is a build_prereq, then all
	*its* prereqs are also degraded into build_prereqs unless they are
	already prereqs for something else:-! And then we have the diamond
	dependency: Foo build_requires Bar and requires Baz. Bar requires Frob,
	Baz requires Frob. So we make it a bit operation: REQ => 1, BREQ => 2?

	OK, candidates for my tests:

	MARCEL/Class-Null                         Test::Pod::Coverage

	Not suited for testing. It has a Build.PL that requires Project::Build
	which does not exist at all and when a user preferes Module::Build over
	ExtUtils::MakeMaker he fails immediately. It has a Makefile.PL that has
	Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage as PREREQ_PM and it has a META.yml
	that tells me that Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage are build_requires.
	But when I grep for Test::Pod and Test::Pod::Coverage, they are not
	mentioned anywhere. The solution would be to remove the Build.PL and the
	META.yml and remove the PREREQ_PM lines in the Makefile.PL.
	
	JFITZ/Lingua-Alphabet-Phonetic-Password   Test::Pod::Coverage

	Need to set prefer_installer MB because it comes with a Makefile.PL. The
	dependecy graph seems to get very large. Test::NoBreakpoints failes its
	tests. But in the end, L:A:P:P passes its four tests quickly and skips
	the one that need Test::NoBreakpoints. Vorbildlich!

	Very stupid is CPAN.pm when I repeat the 'test L:A:P:P' command: it
	repeats all tests for all dependencies and only then runs the test on
	L:A:P:P. This is time-consuming and may be a bug or a feature. Don't
	know the reason. FIXED in rev. 915

2006-09-21  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* I have seen this bug with 5.6.2, 5.8.3, 5.8.4, 5.8.5; it seems not to
	effect bleadperl and 5.8.8, 5.8.6-RC1

	Once you have installed both Module::Signature AND CPAN::Reporter, you
	cannot test both of them in the same session. E.g. with 5.8.4 I do

	test Module::Signature
	--> tests ok, do you want to report? no,no,no
	test CPAN::Reporter
	--> tests ok, debug says "main: distribution\nmain:\
	comments\nCPAN::Reporter defines neither package nor VERSION--version\
	check failed at (eval 70) line 405."
	test Module::Signature
	--> tests ok, debug says "main: distribution\nmain:\
	comments\nCPAN::Reporter defines neither package nor VERSION--version\
	check failed at (eval 70) line 405."

	"version check failed" is in
	/usr/local/perl-redhat-5.8.5/lib/5.8.5/pod/perldiag.pod:

=item %s defines neither package nor VERSION--version check failed

(F) You said something like "use Module 42" but in the Module file
there are neither package declarations nor a C<$VERSION>.

	So I spot this line in CPAN::Reporter:

    $tr->via( 'CPAN::Reporter ' . CPAN::Reporter->VERSION );

	and I change it to

    $tr->via( 'CPAN::Reporter ' . $CPAN::Reporter::VERSION );

	and the bug is worked around.

	Repeating experiments with CPAN::Reporter and Net::SMTP and AUTOMATED_TESTING

	I just started with a fresh blead@28875 and the command

	    install CPAN::Reporter Bundle::CPAN Module::Signature Devel::Symdump

	and all reports that CPAN::Reporter offered were accepted by me. So
	tomorrow morning I expect reports on testers.cpan.org above the FAIL for
	DBIx-Timeout. Then I can install Mail::Send again and send a few reports
	and then I can set AUTOMATIC_TESTING and on the next perl I can do that
	in opposite order.

	7 hours later nothing shows up on http://testers.cpan.org/recent.html

	I'd better go subscribe to cpan-testers. Now I am subscribed and I
	re-tested with blead@28876 and while Mail::Send does send out messages
	since I added the MASQUERADE_AS line, they do not come back to me. I
	need to change the email_to to me on the next try.... And yes, the mail
	arrives. Apparently it is not accepted at testers, only Net::SMTP gets
	through. Maybe some MX thingie going on.

2006-09-19  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* repeating the exercise of testing CPAN::Reporter

	blead@28868: install CPAN::Reporter and its dependencies (no MailTools
	but Net::SMTP ist there). Testing TAPx::Parser fails miserably, the
	report seems to be sent. Testing CGI::Session succeeds with lots of
	SKIPs. The report seems to have been sent. Testing Module::Signature
	succeeds with just a single test, report seems to have been sent.
	Installing CPANPLUS::Dist::Build installs among many other dependencies
	CPANPLUS itself, the latter succeeds and I let CPAN::Reporter send a
	mail which seems to work.

	Now I install Mail::Mailer and succeed. The Mail is still sent by
	Net::SMTP and apparently succeeds.

	Now let's try IO::Tty. Tests succeed but it's a test.pl based distro, so
	CPAN::Reporter cannot send mail. To get to a quick end, I now test
	CPAN::Reporter itself. It pretends to send mail, from the debug output I
	recognize Mail::Mailer. And now I have two mails in the mqueue with
	"Could not resolve k75.linux.bogus". QED.

	MASQUERADE_AS(`franz.ak.mind.de')dnl in the sendmail.mc seems to have
	done the trick.

	* find out why CPAN::Reporter cannot send mail on my home machine

	Somebody seems to try to send mail and using the local address
	(k75.linux.bogus) in a HELO or something. I'm testing with
	Devel::Symdump.

	Installed modules? Mail::Send from MailTools? Net::SMTP from libnet?

	MailTools no, N:S yes.

	Ah, Test::Reporter says "If you have MailTools installed". Hmmm. This
	test succeeded today with blead@28866. Will have to wait again to see a
	fail.

	So now I have MailTools installed and now I see again the message

2006-09-17  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Test the urllist dialog. Requires a fake mirrored.by file. DONE in rev. 851

	* Todo: test many cases:

	if we have a urllist, if have none: can we always hit RETURN and reach
	the end, especially if we already have a previous pick? Once upon a time
	the user may have been able to reach the previous pick from the
	continent question. The hint is the $no_previous_warn variable.

	if we say 'o conf init'...yes/no (yes is what the shell test does, so
	there's no need here to investigate this branch)

	What's about the SPACE RETURN thing, is it broken and since when? It
	seems it works again, maybe since rev. ???

	* http://www.flight.us/misc/FirstTime.pm_AStrebkov.htm (E3) and
	http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.misc/browse_thread/thread/a3f172fedc02c280/5814e81793793b64#5814e81793793b64
	by Andrew Strebkov makes the URL selection nicer.

	It allows hyphenated ranges like 10-14. It also fixed the SPACE RETURN
	bug that seems to be fixed now anyway. DONE in rev 848

	* MAYBE change syntax for 'o conf init MATCH' to require two slashes for
	the regex version just for ortogonality. REJECTED because this argument
	does not have the same magic as other arguments that may be several
	different types of strings.

	* The $demobug thing is underdocumented! Go after the bug hidden there.
	FINISHED
	
	* Todo: write a test that checks if the keys in HandleConfig are all
	documented in the POD. DONE in rev. 831

2006-09-12  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* rev 807 broken (and _62 was most likely broken too): prompt namespaces
	now too much voodoo. FirstTime::_real_prompt is not defined everywhere.
	Goto the drawing board

	CPAN::Shell::colorable_makemaker_prompt used in package CPAN and
	CPAN::Distribution uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt

	CPAN::FirstTime::_real_prompt is local in CPAN::FirstTime::init for
	colorizable and later for a closure and yet later again directly for
	colorizable again

	CPAN::FirstTime::prompt is used within CPAN::FirstTime::init many times

	my_dflt_prompt uses prompt

	my_yn_prompt uses prompt

	my_prompt_loop uses prompt

	conf_sites uses prompt

	picklist uses prompt

	bring_your_own uses prompt

	prompt uses _realprompt

	Q.E.D. _real_prompt  may be undefined. Stupid. FIXED in rev. 825

	825 also fixes 5.8.0 which always matched each prompt twice. All I had
	to do was to change the tests so that no non-prompt-match ever matches a
	prompt accidentally

2006-09-11  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: again go testing with several perl versions.

	Especially the urllist dialog needs test cases. But older perls as well
	need attention.

2006-09-09  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Tempted to give up on Term::ANSIColor. If I turn on colorize_output in
	TestConfig.pm, then we do not pass tests. Somehow loading of
	Term::ANSIColor changes too much.

	utf8 handling wrong with ANSIColor; err, no, only an emacs issue.

	several '# Can't exec "./Build": No such file or directory at /home/k/sources/CPAN/SVN/blib/lib/CPAN.pm line 5477.'

	Yes, this is reproducable. The Makefile target
	testshell-with-protocol-twice runs the testsuite once with
	colorize_output off and once with on and we see that colorize breaks the
	tests. Todo: make the difference between colorize and not colorize as
	small as possible, then we know which lines we can blame.

	Yes, now I have it reproducable and the blame is clearly not on
	Term::ANSIColor but on some perl leakage. To demonstrate the bug, set
	the $demobug variable in CPAN.pm to a true value. Then run make
	testshell-with-protocol-twice. I seen the second run with
	colorize_output==TRUE fail. Maybe it's the use of the regex, I don;t
	know yet. Need to narrow down.

	But the important step is that I now have a workaround and can support
	colorization with just a small compromize. AND I can turn the bug on and
	investigate in many different contexts. FIXED all that in 809

	The $demobug thing is underdocumented!
	
2006-09-08  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: run everything with PRINT_ORNAMENTING turned on to see what is
	myprint and what is mywarn. Are both going to STDERR? We should document
	when to use myprint and mywarn. And we should not let anybody use print
	directly. DONE

2006-09-07  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Bugs in FirstTime: print and warn not unified; needs to be
	investigated: two calls to warn replaced with print in rev. 803:
	somebody ate the warnings, they were not displayed for unknown reasons.
	Update: no, the warnings were not dropped but the global value of
	$CPAN::Config->{urllist} was emptied when I interrupted the selection
	process. Fixed in 804-807 or so.

2006-09-04  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* hr ================ no todos below this line ================ /hr

	* Todo: use 'o conf init MATCH' when only a few mandatory variables are
	missing so that people need not go through the whole cycle DONE in rev
	785

	* Bug: Your proxy_user? [] Or not?

	784,5,6 something terrible broken... FIXED in rev 788

2006-09-02  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: "o conf init novar" shall tell that it is not a config variable
	but 'o conf init var' shall only go to this variable's dialog, not
	everything that has this substring. DONE in rev 778

2006-09-01  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: why has the question for the ftp_proxy no square brackets? FIXED
	somewhere between 775 and 782

	* Todo: the prompt for keep_source_where seems bogus and people cannot
	choose it anyway. With a bit of rewording one could call it
	build_dir_intro and then we would find out that we have no prompt for
	the keep_source_where config variable. FIXED in rev 784

	* Todo: completion for 'o conf init MATCH' DONE in rev 776

2006-08-31  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* replace "no lib '.'" with rel2absing the INC if rel2abs is available
	(suggested by Slaven Rezic) DONE in rev 773

	* Todo: investigate why 'o conf init histsize' still asks two questions.
	Maybe we should write the test automatically with all available
	variables and see if one question is asked. STARTED for all but the
	_list and _hash stuff and for undocumented things like
	commandnumber_in_prompt and things we never ask like ftp_passive. It
	turned out that histsize really depends on histfile and they should be
	asked as a pair. But then I tried 'ftp' which hit several options,
	'^ftp$', '\bftp\b' which both did not match at all and I wondered if
	this needs to be addressed or not and how. Same for make. What about
	inactivity_timeout? why does it use prompt(), not my_default_prompt?
	index_expire? username? password? ALL FIXED between 775 and 784

	* Todo: document 'o conf init MATCH' and write a couple tests into
	30shell.t DONE

2006-08-23  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* Todo: integrate branch
	https://pause.perl.org:5460/svn/cpanpm/branches/dagolden-cpan-reporter
	DONE by David in rev. 758

2006-07-29  Andreas J. Koenig  

	* As #20754 I requested bzip2 support from CPANPLUS. I should write the
	code for mldistwatch so that I just have to turn on the indexing of bz2
	files. DONE in rev 815 of the PAUSE repository.

	* Todo: add a command to list all scripts and use it to test-install all
	of them to get a good coverage for the new 'install
