* 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.

* 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.

* 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:

* 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.

* 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

* 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'

* 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.

Trying 33883. Trying lots of older 5.10s which all must have worked some
time before because I do not think the I have skipped testing often. All
fail in the same way. Some debian upgrade must have broken something.

"Best" on feature "YAML". Then I set my usual environment variables for
Module::Install and nobody asks a question and Best is not being

To find out, we need a perl without Best.pm. 33711

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.

After some more stepping down into the debugger I discover that somebody
passes in an 8 character string to Blowfish and as it is UTF8 it is not
8 bytes and Blowfish correctly dies. Seems to be JSON 2.07 related.
33550 has no JSON installed. Is it that? Yes, maybe. But if I add JSON
into the prereq mix I need to go much further back in history. 5.8.8 is
OK, 24518 isn't and for perls before patch 25000 several things fall
apart for different reasons.
19173 cannot have JSON and subsequently Data::Serializer succeeds. So
the test scripts must add JSON as explicit requirement.
Now I find out that JSON does not run on 17968 either. So where did JSON
2.07 stop? 17639 was the beginning of 5.9.0 the day after 5.8.0. And
JSON 2.07 still did work with 17637.

the distroprefs give me want_optional_features, then I can merge these
requires and build_requires and configure_requires into the main stuff
and proceed without asking questions. Really cool.

* Data::Structure::Util broke somewhere 24650..24661
CPAN.pm: Going to build F/FO/FOTANGO/Data-Structure-Util-0.12.tar.gz
This module requires Module::Build to install itself.
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.

* http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32525: sent me a nice patch
to make the listings prettier by using representative module names for

App::Prove 3.07 3.08 ANDYA/Test-Harness-3.08.tar.gz
DBD::Gofer::Transport::Base 0.010088 0.010377 TIMB/DBI-1.602.tar.gz
....we would see
DBI 1.601 1.602 TIMB/DBI-1.602.tar.gz
Test::Harness 3.07 3.08 ANDYA/Test-Harness-3.08.tar.gz
I rolled my own implementation of this idea today that needed less code
to change. 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. This means that after a first pass through the alphabet
there is a second as in:
XML::SimpleObject::LibXML 0.53 0.60 DBRIAN/XML-SimpleObject-LibXML-0.60.tar.gz

There is a regex written with qr/.../ which is later used within a
pattern. The -m of the inner pattern was overruled by the outer /m until
23470 and not overruled in 23471. It's the pattern 'from_pattern' from
the Config.pm. Fixing this fixes one test, not all. Two more spots to
patch.

2008-02-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.
My perllocal.pod has many candidates that might have changed something.
A binary search would probably compare two perls and add one module
after the other to the one that is still sane?
stop,stop,stop Frank has found the culprit in Safe.pm 2.14.
* Could it be a way to increase responsibility consciousness among MI
users: report it as a bug when they distribute an old version? Makes
little sense in the absence of a good recent version. Ajj, but Chroniton
distributes 0.63 and that version seems to have not even a check for
PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_RUNNING.
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32984
* A plan how we could protect the world from recursive usage. Inc the
counter in the environment, display it, display in which directory we
are, sleep for a long and increasing time, recommend the user to hit ^C
and file a bug report. Display the process number. Display a countdown
when we will continue. Display some sort of stack trace.

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.

* Gtk2 has one single PASS. It fails on 27002 more or less the same way
as with current 5.10. It fails on 23023 because Glib fails there. Maybe
it would be interesting to find the place in history when Glib started
working and then to run Gtk2 through that version. Just a binarysearch
without --build should do.

Perfect! The error summary with 25948 is shorter than the one with 5.10.
Wohoo, on "look" the DISPLAY isn't set, of course. But then the test
succeeds just fine:
DISPLAY=:121 make test TEST_FILES="t/GdkDisplayManager.t" TEST_VERBOSE=1
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pdv4QaU/perl-5.8.0@25948/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/GdkDisplayManager.t
t/GdkDisplayManager......

ok 1 - The object isa Gtk2::Gdk::DisplayManager
ok 2
ok 3

ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=4, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.25 cusr 0.01 csys = 0.28 CPU)
Result: PASS
But from 'test Gtk2' in the CPAN shell I get:
t/GdkDisplayManager..................The application 'GdkDisplayManager.t' lost its connection to the display :121.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
No subtests run
t/GdkDnd.............................Gdk-WARNING **: Drops for GDK_DRAG_PROTO_ROOTWIN must be handled internally at t/GdkDnd.t line 100.
ok
So under CPAN shell the connection is lost, under 'make test' tests are
succeeding? NO, under make test with arguments it works, under make test
without arguments it fails. NO, it's once again RANDOM TEST RESULTS.
When I run the command
DISPLAY=:121 make test TEST_FILES="t/00.Gtk2.t t/01.GtkWindow.t t/02.GtkContainer.t t/Gdk.t t/GdkCairo.t t/GdkColor.t t/GdkCursor.t t/GdkDisplay.t t/GdkDisplayManager.t"
several times then I get both a success and a failure. But the problem
case is always the last one.
AND there's another one that is even more annoying:
DISPLAY=:121 make test TEST_FILES=t/PangoLayout.t
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pdv4QaU/perl-5.8.0@25948/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/PangoLayout.t

Failed 32/68 subtests
If I run it in the debugger it loses track of the debugger context
completely and I cannot set a breakpoint. At least with 25948. So
switching to current bleadperl I reach that line and see that the
argument 23 is sent to some C lib and there it chokes. Not my area of
interest.
I made the random test results a ticket:

envariable APACHE being set?
* SEANO/Sepia-0.95.tar.gz might need a binary search. But it is
problematic because CPAN::Reporter and Sepia have an issue with each
other so it seems. Twice I have seen a hang after CPAN says

taking many minutes. No?
No, it's just a buggy question/answer game for installing dependencies.

Was this the upgrade to libdb 4.6.19-1?
Or the upgrade to 1.816?

87854 2007-10-29 PMQS/DB_File-1.816.tar.gz
Downgrading to 1.815 does not help. Downgrading to libdb 4.3 does not help either.
My perl 32147 passes all tests, it has DB_File 1.816 already. I
re-install 1.816 and re-test Encode::MAB2 and it succeeds again.
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

Nonono, wrong way down the road. BerkeleyDB is it, not DB_File, right? Yes

* 32327 was a debugging build. I see a strange INC path without blib but

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

* My release of 1.92_52 gives FAILs in 6 of *my* smokes. As the error
messages mention File::Spec too I wonder if this has to do with a recent
glitch that I have not yet understood.

So 31790 has only 3.25 according to the m command.
And I get lots of these messages:
Use of uninitialized value $file in string ne at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pNaGaP6/perl-5.8.0@31790/lib/5.9.5/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 312.
Use of uninitialized value $file in concatenation (.) or string at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pNaGaP6/perl-5.8.0@31790/lib/5.9.5/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 320.
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.

* Apache::Session failed today on 32235 because Test::Deep was missing.
seq was 388 and the seq of Test::Deep was 390. The latter was
successful, don't understand why it was not found by Apache::Session.
Needs more investigations.

You already have a parser for (t/wmf/read.t) at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pe1S7WD/perl-5.8.0@32235/lib/5.10.0/TAP/Harness.pm line 412
This happens with Image::MAgick and bleadperl@3223[05] even after I
fixed the test output of t/setattribute.t.
* RHANDOM/Template-Alloy-1.009.tar.gz works with 5.9.4, 5.9.5, 5.10.0
but hangs with 5.8.* during 05_tt_base. I ^Ced all 5.8 tests. 5.6.2 worked again.
Same for RHANDOM/Template-Parser-CET-0.05.tar.gz, even the test has the same name.

* what I want more than anything else before 5.10 is a list of all
modules that need patching or don't work.
A first approximation to the list that I really want would be a summary
of all BBC articles and the state they reached.
Shit, groups.google finds only 14 hits on "Bleadperl breaks CPAN" in a
narrow timeframe. So how do I find the older postings?
xray to the rescue: 373 hits on BBC. Now the list of affected modules.
"*" is for "not yet investigated". something else for "still relevant"
and "fixed"

* Today a new 32025 maintperl finished and it has many fails that I have
not noticed before. See 2007-11-01T02:38. This was due to the glitch
with disabling Sub-Uplevel. So this should not have caused harm because
no reports were sent out in such cases.

* 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. Let me see it:
% ls -l /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pICDJJz/perl-5.8.0@32194/lib/5.10.0/i686-linux-thread-multi-64int/Config.pm

And copy it away:

who wrote the result and who could not read it? Test::Harness 2.57_05
and CPAN::Reporter (not installed!), so it was me!
* Bug in File::Temp version checking code. A simple < is wrong, you must
use CPAN::Version!
* MLEHMANN/Gtk-Perl-0.7009.tar.gz fails because gtk-config not found or
something. Installed libgtk1.2-dev. More libraries missing in the next
round of trial and error.
* File-MMagic-XS failed on 32195, 32186 which is threaded and debugging.
I started to watch F:M:X with 31568 but we have one other
threaded+debugging perl since then: 32032. But yes, 32032 was not a
regular megainstall. So let's try DMAKI/File-MMagic-XS-0.09002.tar.gz
with 32032. And on a maintperl? Try 31223.
Yes, it fails with blead@32032 (panic free from wrong pool), it succeeds
with maint@31223.
And it fails for this:
MMagic.xs:455: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before '(' token'
with 27680, 27704, 27705, 27729, 27732, 27733, 27734
It fails with the same panic free from wrong pool on 30953, 30952,
29353, 28507, 28106, 27906, 27806, 27755, 27741, 27735.
Next: According to the comment in 27735 we must go back in time before
27649 and I see a good place at 23232 which is 51 points from 23181
which is quite a good distance. 23240 would have been the better choice.
Oh well.

2007-10-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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. Tcl:
t/call.........Assertion ((svtype)((_svi)->sv_flags & 0xff)) >= SVt_RV failed: file "Tcl.xs", line 647 at t/call.t line 38.

Try older Coro: 4.11 no, 4.1 no, 4.03 SEGV

This State.xs:263 thing is even in the oldest Coro, 3.63 and I'm not up
to searching backpan.
So I will now have a look at the gdb analysis and then check in maint perl.

Well. And maintperl? Ahhh, same thing! Stock 5.8.8 has it. 5.8.1 is
simply too old to understand current Coro code. 22251(5.8.3) has the
SEGV too. So no BBC in here.

I remove the installation and reinstall with ./installperl from the

re-run './Build test' several times in the Devel-Caller-0.11-iL3qS5/

* Net-Daemon's recent FAILS under threads seems to be due to the way the
old Thread.pm has now become a compatibility layer. 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 { })} ? "" : "not ", "ok\n"'
done 2>/dev/null
@27048/bin/perl: ok
@29353/bin/perl: not ok
@30910/bin/perl: not ok
@31500/bin/perl: ok

@32174/bin/perl: ok
@32186/bin/perl: ok
@32194/bin/perl: ok
@32195/bin/perl: ok
but probably not good enough to run the whole code in t/thread.t.
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:

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.

* 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.

I found the lib.pm that should be found at
/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pFAmPwI/perl-5.8.0@32085/lib/5.10.0/i686-linux-64int
and indeed this is missing in the above list.
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. Cheerio!

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

threaded) or really only load driven.

* 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:

* 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

* Slaven sends a miserable FAIL with 5.6.2 and YAML 0.39.
* The failing tests on mod_perl, Archive-Any, and GIS-Distance are
repeatable with 32104 and Log-Dispatch-Config
(http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30073) has joined them in
failing. I've stopped all running loops to look around in the /tmp
directory.
32090 had a working A:A. fforce test on it now fails with
Running make test
Bareword found where operator expected at /tmp/N0WH1MFuPP line 1, near "'/usr/bin/make test 'TEST_FILES"

And the tempfile is gone. Starting to cleanup my /tmp directory and
rerunning the A:A test again and again. AA itself leaves a testfile in
/tmp. Not every time?
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.
Ticks in a command. Patch sent to David.

/home/sand/.cpan/build/PAR-Packer-0.976-JePP61/blib/script/pp: Failed to extract a parl from 'PAR::StrippedPARL::Static' to file 'parltQZf2Gh' at /home/sand/.cpan/build/PAR-Packer-0.976-JePP61/blib/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line 1149, <DATA> line 1.
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. It fails at compilation stage with
./par -I../myldr/.. -I../blib/lib -I"/home/sand/.cpan/build/PAR-Packer-0.976-ZlXHYS/inc" -I"/home/sand/.cpan/build/Archive-Unzip-Burst-0.02-58kTmp/blib/arch" -I"/home/sand/.cpan/build/Archive-Unzip-Burst-0.02-58kTmp/blib/lib" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pSib5JX/perl-5.8.0@31824/lib/5.10.0/i686-linux-64int" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pSib5JX/perl-5.8.0@31824/lib/5.10.0" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pSib5JX/perl-5.8.0@31824/lib/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux-64int" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pSib5JX/perl-5.8.0@31824/lib/site_perl/5.10.0" -I"/home/sand/.cpan/build/PAR-Packer-0.976-ZlXHYS" -I"." -q -B -O../script/parldyn
Usage: ./par [ -Alib.par ] [ -Idir ] [ -Mmodule ] [ src.par ] [ program.pl ]
./par [ -B|-b ] [-Ooutfile] src.par
Maybe it has to do with option parsing? 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.
Can I see the above par command once again for 31790?
./par -I../myldr/.. -I../blib/lib -I"/home/sand/.cpan/build/PAR-Packer-0.976-slY0pI/inc" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pNaGaP6/perl-5.8.0@31790/lib/5.9.5/i686-linux-64int" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pNaGaP6/perl-5.8.0@31790/lib/5.9.5" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pNaGaP6/perl-5.8.0@31790/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/i686-linux-64int" -I"/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pNaGaP6/perl-5.8.0@31790/lib/site_perl/5.9.5" -I"/home/sand/.cpan/build/PAR-Packer-0.976-slY0pI" -I"." -q -B -O../script/parldyn
I realize that downgrading 31824 is more cumbersome than upgrading
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.

Only time series can help here. It started failing with 32002, was green
up to 32001. And indeed this was the first day of DBM-Deep 1.0006
/home/sand/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2007_10_03_00.pm 32002
/home/sand/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2007_10_03_01.pm 32001
This also marked the change from 64bitint=define zu undef and a non
debugging perl, CPAN::Reporter 0.99_1[34], lots of other differences.
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. But
it was not 1.0005, it was 1.0004 that which IPC::PubSub worked with
flawlessly.

See 2007-07-03 where I said I cannot run a binary search against it. Now
I can at least with some manual intervention. 23023 OK. 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;

* RCLAMP/POE-Component-Server-HTTP-0.09.tar.gz looks like a BBC
candidate 22245 OK. 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.

* 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.

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.

* MIME-tools-5.421 give me a major headache the testsuite (sometimes?)
runs into a tight loop of 'Warning: Use of "require" without parentheses
is ambiguous at (eval 5493800) line 1.' At least now twice for 31952 and
31955.
I have to kill this one:
sand 14150 55.2 45.6 714620 710088 pts/16 R+ 01:32 88:43 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pN0oLia/perl-5.8.0@31955/bin/perl -w t/Gauntlet.t
But the next test has the same problem
sand 30860 64.8 1.3 24940 20572 pts/16 R+ 04:13 1:14 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pN0oLia/perl-5.8.0@31955/bin/perl -w t/Head.t
And then again for

I repeatedly verify who has the problem with such commands:
% lsof -p 30969|grep cwd
perl 30969 sand cwd DIR 9,1 4096 17304047 /home/sand/.cpan/build/MIME-tools-5.421-fuesqd
But then one after the other
sand 31244 49.3 0.8 16868 12544 pts/16 R+ 04:17 0:23 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pN0oLia/perl-5.8.0@31955/bin/perl -w t/Parser.t

Now we're done. I urgently need a solution for that. Both for a
bugreport and for the meta stuff with probably POE. Or commandline.
Interesting enough is that Mt-5.421 is young and I have 4 OKs up to
31945. Compare autobundle with @31945 and @31952 and @31955:
/home/sand/.cpan/Bundle/Snapshot_2007_09_25_0[012].pm
Diffs are worthless because the latter two were killed. But I can reproduce the bug.

* between bleadperl 31895 and 31937 we went from 215 fails to 159.
Supercool but still hard to write good reports about it.
* Bug in RECENT code: somebody removes a file from PAUSE and forgets to
pass over to the RECENT file. Then the receiver needs a more tolerant
strategy than the current one. Currently he retries until he gets the
deleted file which is never and only then he would publish his own
RECENT file.

since then it's red, seemingly failing on the make phase. re-testing
with an older perl, @31613, succeeds on the make phase. But this doesn't
prove anything because all prereqs are already there. And then it fails
on the test phase in t/xvals.t. 31650 also failed on xvals.t. Now we
have a prove that it's not blead related but to some other factor.
But now, what has been upgraded on 31613 since then? Unfortunately
timestamps have changed because of the cleanup of hardlinks. autobundle
comparisons don't help because I have no succeeding version of PDL at
hand.

* tentative posting to Module::Build
Recently, on IRC (off the top of my head):
<klapperl>: so can you explain why the compatibility layer is broken?
<ewilhelm>: jeez, it is the *compatibility layer*
I think it's time that Module::Build considers another compatibility
layer in addition to the existing one. This is just a raw sketch to get
some talk going, I have not actually tried to work this out. 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? Does it have pitfalls? It seems so easy and
natural. Isn't anybody keen implementing it?

Man sollte auch in Betracht ziehen, was einem Expect selbst fuer
diesen Fall anbietet. Man kann ja alle Regexes gleichzeitig ins Rennen
schmeissen. Irgendwie. So richtig habe ich es damals nicht verstanden,
wie es geht.

* Bug: somebody broke *.bs files with crap content recently. 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.

What was smoking with 31223 at 22:09? I just searched for my reports on
rpm-build-perl on http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/ and
they seem to be fine.
In my eyes there is only one candidate at the moment: DDS.
In the meantime Max Maischain (CORION) complained as well.
Update 2007-09-08: I just discovered that not only the 10 perls were
broken that I'm using to smoke but many, many others as well. 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:-(

* hashed out on the bus with anonymous, how the endless loop of RECENT
testing shall look like: one never dying job produces POE sessions that
shall test some distro with some perl. 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.

I was using the bleadperl version of cpan to install a module

long time (more than a minute) to execute, makeing me wonder if it had
crashed, but it finished eventually.
Either File::Spec should be changed to not warn, or CPAN needs to be
changed not to pass undef to File::Spec::Win32::catdir.
Yves
Ps: this output is what i see immediately after installing blead from
rsync. I note that it doesnt require the CPAN config process that I
would have expected.

Consider this when installing the CPAN bundle:
Importing PAUSE public key into your GnuPG keychain... gpg: WARNING:
using insecure memory!
gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html for more information
done!
(You may wish to trust it locally with 'gpg --lsign-key 450F89EC')

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.

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.

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.
See my mail to David Cantrell to understand what needs be done about
verbosity.

The only change to the code that I would ask for is that there be some
way of turning off all the startup text and have it die() with a
suitable message if something goes wrong, like ~/.cpan not being
accessible.
A HOWTO.pod with simple four or five line recipes showing how to write
code for the basic functions should suffice as far as extra
documentation goes. I've attached the bare-bones of one.
=head1 NAME
CPAN::API::HOWTO - a recipe book for programming with CPAN.pm
=head1 RECIPES
All of these recipes assume that you have put "use CPAN" at the top of
your program.
=head2 What distribution contains a particular module?
my $distribution = CPAN::Shell->expand(
"Module", "Data::UUID"
)->distribution()->pretty_id();
This returns a string of the form "AUTHORID/TARBALL". If you want the
full path and filename to this distribution on a CPAN mirror, then it is
C<.../authors/id/A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL>.
=head2 What modules does a particular distribution contain?
CPAN::Index->reload();
my @modules = CPAN::Shell->expand(
"Distribution", "JHI/Graph-0.83.tar.gz"
)->containsmods();
You may also refer to a distribution in the form A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL.

Somebody injects Apache::Cookie and somebody injects Apache::Request.
Apache-DBI and Apache-Test have already been installed at this point.
libapreq is untarred, configure_require hits and before it can resolve
things correctly configure_require_later is incremented a second time
and we panic.
The number of modules installed before the bug happens is low:
perl -nle '$S{$1}++ if /Running make for ([\040-\177]+)/; END {
print map { "$_\n" } grep { $S{$_}==5 } keys %S;
}' logs/megainstall.20070{727T0705,730T1247,803T0330,810T2248,812T0825}.out|wc -l
50
Reading the list reveals nothing inspiring/obvious/spectacular. With
this tar command I can reproduce the state at the moment when the bug happened:
tar -xvz -C / -f ./installed-perls-perl-31701.tar.gz
But I need the command that reproduces it.
I thought of
rm -rf ~/.cpan/build/libapreq-1.33-* ~/.cpan/build/mod_perl-1.30-* ~/.cpan/build/Apache-*
rm -f /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pwRjjSU/perl-5.8.0@31701/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/Apache/DBI.pm /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pwRjjSU/perl-5.8.0@31701/lib/site_perl/5.9.5/i686-linux-64int/Apache/Test.pm
and then
cpan> install Apache::DBI Apache::Test Apache::Request
But this installs mod_perl just fine as it should.
With a variant of the one liner (bin/confreq_bug_logs.pl) we see more
clearly what's common to all these failing runs.

Either I upgrade to libc6-2.6.1-1 or I ignore the issue. I ask apt-get
to upgrade and see very discouraging plans with lots of removals. So I
stop it. I ask aptitude to do it and it suggests to upgrade only these
four:
libc6-xen libc6-i686 libc6-dev libc6
without removing anything. This I prefer.
Without rebooting this doesn't help:

* Assertion: Environment is being set during perl {Build,Makefile}.PL?

* Idea: new option to cleanup the build_dir not by size but by age.
* Todo: with the new sendmail configuration I should retry if mailtools
work now. 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:

Too obvious. 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 \@_

'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.
(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.
' 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!

* 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.
And I saw "Panic: ..." from
$CPAN::Frontend->mydie("Panic: A prerequisite is not available, please investigate...");

could run a binary search with a very limited test? 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.

* 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

* TMOERTEL/Test-LectroTest-0.3500.tar.gz started to fail with 31613 but

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.

* 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.

Uhhh, ohhh.
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. This mainly because version.pm's numify really
translated v1.0 to 1.000000 and has no roundtrip between numify and
normal:
% /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/*/p*/perl-5.*@31614/bin/perl -Mversion -le 'print version->new(version->new("v1.0")->numify)->normal'
v1.0.0
I adjusted CPAN::Version to trim trailing ".0" (but keep one).

* Brandon Black suggests that ftp: URLs shall not be tried before all
http URLs have been tried with all external programs we could find.
We currently do this: the outer loop is about easy/hard/hardest where
easy means LWP+Net::FTP, hard has the code for external programs,
hardest is about an external "ftp" program. The inner loop iterates over
URLs. 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'

No, this is a new bug. Before we send them to perl.org, we should try
the ftp URL. So we need 5 steps more for the default URLs for a total of
11. Very nice. Seems to work now but needs a rewrite in a less obscure
style: tuples instead of strings that get manipulated and maybe a
$filter argument to reduce the number of necessary methods.

* There is something that prevents parsing of the logfiles. residuum.yml
was traditionally between 143k and 345k the last two runs were 449k and
1658k with 30 and 100 modules respectively left over.
It has to do with the fact that I now see the pattern 'Running make for
B/BW/BWARFIELD/GDGraph-1.44.tar.gz' (just an example) twice and between
the first and the second occurrence there are other important facts for
other modules, in this case 'Running make for
Y/YS/YSAS/SWF-File-0.42.tar.gz'. I must find a way to only take the
second part of these chunks.

* Toremember: the big loop must run from a window that can connect to
the X server. Or we must bug the authors that they write tests that are
not depending on a running window server. Like DISPLAY=:121 ? Does
AnyEvent behave with that?
* Today (@31526) potentially new fails seem to be
LGODDARD/Time-Simple-0.052.tar.gz, JONALLEN/a2pdf-1.13.tar.gz, and
PCANARAN/HTML-GMap-0.04.tar.gz
Two autobundle runs compared show several improvements due to "depends"
but nothing that hints at Time-Simple. PDF::API2::Simple 1.1.2 hints at
a2pdf and nothing hints at HTML-GMap.
Time-Simple really failed for the first time ever. The failure can be
reproduced, even with fforce and with @31515! It has something to do
with 23:59:59 vs 22:59:59.
a2pdf has PASS:FAIL 78:13. I see
Can't load '/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p7mD5hd/perl-5.8.0@31526/lib/5.9.5/i686-linux-64int/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so' for module Fcntl: /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p7mD5hd/perl-5.8.0@31526/lib/5.9.5/i686-linux-64int/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so: undefined symbol: PL_unitcheckav at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/p7mD5hd/perl-5.8.0@31526/lib/5.9.5/i686-linux-64int/XSLoader.pm line 64.
This might be a core change? No, it's reproducable with 31515 which was
previously doing fine with this distro.
HTML-GMap-0.04 has 0:1, it is new in the arena.

* Bug: does not seem to uncover recursive dependencies. I speced
match:
distribution: "^SZABGAB/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-\d"
depends:
requires:
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtJapan2: 0
unknowing that this was a recursive dependency. The throttling strategy
in CPAN::Queue kicked in and I had to kill this run.

install P:R later anyway. DONE
* JROBINSON/SQL-Translator-0.08 has a configure_requires on
Module::Build::Compat. I saw this today with blead@23190:
Can't locate Module/Build/Compat.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pvvpo99/perl-5.8.0@23190/lib/5.9.2/i686-linux-64int /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pvvpo99/perl-5.8.0@23190/lib/5.9.2 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pvvpo99/perl-5.8.0@23190/lib/site_perl/5.9.2/i686-linux-64int /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pvvpo99/perl-5.8.0@23190/lib/site_perl/5.9.2 /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pvvpo99/perl-5.8.0@23190/lib/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 4.
But I don't understand it because my script must have tried to install
Module::Build for 23190??
Ahh, I see this is the ugly, ugly version.pm bug that I had some
exchange about with John Peacock and which affects some interval in the
23000-25000 area. Have no details at hand but this tells me that I
cannot run binary searches for SQL::Translator:-(

5.9.5's default cpan is much better, in that it defaults virtually
everything intelligently and just asks that you pick a mirror for
yourself. 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.

* 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.

messages. Binary search?

* Todo: check out what exactly rsync 3.0 will bring us with the batch
mode. 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?
The first Devel::EvalContext that worked for me was with 27002
* Raphael asked me to pay special attention to 31505. New fails
according to CPAN::Reporter:
FAIL re-engine-Plan9-0.09 first time ever
FAIL re-engine-PCRE-0.10 first time ever
FAIL Devel-EvalContext-0.08 has always failed except for maintperl[1]
NA Image-Magick-Thumbnail-PDF-1.10 just a new distro
[1] so why was it reported then? According to CPAN::Reporter it was
always a NA and is now a FAIL. Reason for NA was that Data::Alias was
broken and this one got a new release yesterday. So how would
Devel::EvalContext fare now with the new Data::Alias? Not good.

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.
Lets write this in perl:
perl -pi~ -e 's/define/undef/ if /^d_(eaccess|setruid|setrgid|setproctitle)=/' config.sh

I find no indication as to why this might have happened. 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:-(

The RT queue is full of spam. The last release was in November.

Has maybe DBD::SQLite broken Class::DBI? Google for 'PRAGMA table_info()'?
Aha: http://lists.digitalcraftsmen.net/pipermail/classdbi/2007-March/001583.html

* Idea: rewrite the recent command to read and parse
http://search.cpan.org/uploads.rdf and return and render a pure ascii
list. 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?
Test::Smoke for perl core tests
SmokeRunner::Multi for your own code on your own disk
Task::Smoke Pugs smoking
CPAN::YACSmoke::Plugin::WebList Uses http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/recent
Winnipeg then mentions http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/cpan.xml but this
is several hours behind in time and does not seem to have developer
releases. 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.

* 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.

The output looks very similar to HTML::CalendarMonth. It's about the
difference between <foo attr=0> and <foo attr="0">.
I see very randomly looking test results. There must be a correlation to
some already installed module.
$ grep -r 'eval.*use ' lib/
lib/HTML/TableExtract.pm: eval "use HTML::TreeBuilder";
lib/HTML/TableExtract.pm: eval "use HTML::ElementTable 1.17";
The TreeBuilder is it.

* 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.

It's a module from 2002-08-29, what can we expect? Still we must find

commented in 'This Week on perl5-porters (3-9 October 2005)':
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.summary/2005/10/msg137.html
There has not been a BBC article about 24660 yet... Now there is.

nothing to do.

* Test::FormValidator is a candidate for BBC? 23023 failed the same way
as current. 20002 also. So no, it is not a candidate, it is simply
broken by some dependency and RT shows it and cpantesters has plenty of
indicators. This is a case where we need a rule when a module is to be
removed from megainstall.

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. Then continue with Scott's

things up.

funny that he has already been featured in a BBC article with his
version 1.03. 31252 is "move PL_tokenbuf into the PL_parser struct"

Must be a module or a debian thing, not a bleadperl change. On Mar 27th
I seem to have upgraded the kernel. But the large upgrade was on 28th.
The snapshot diff tells me
-SVN::Notify 2.64
+SVN::Notify 2.65
SVN::Notify::Alternative 1.0
-SVN::Notify::Config 0.0907
-
-SVN::Notify::HTML 2.64
+SVN::Notify::HTML 2.65
-SVN::Notify::HTML::ColorDiff 2.64
+SVN::Notify::HTML::ColorDiff 2.65
-Time::Duration 1.04

-Time::Duration::Parse 0.02
So this is the failure mode with bleadperl@31244 ATM:

* Attacking perlbal from inside. 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, <GEN2> line 1.
Now only 32-selector.t fails. It seems to have to do with inheritance. I
put a little debugging into rebless() and see this:
[pid=29009->29015] DB<10> beginning run
ok 2 - perlbal started

ok 4 - one done

ending run
So I try to write a new rebless function that which locks the old keys
AND the new keys. Again
t/32-selector.t 255 65280 38 72 3-38
Yes, this can be worked around with extremely ugly nonsensical code.
But it may give way to something better.
For now I put the patch into the patches directory.

* 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;

familiar. But in fact it failed all runs since 30977, both maint and

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.
* Bugreport from Slaven: $SIG{WINCH} must be dealt with. If one changes
the windowsize while lwp is fetching something the transfer is being
aborted. By setting $SIG{WINCH} to IGNORE this can be avoided.
* 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.

* JAW/Devel-Profile-1.05.tar.gz looks like a candidate for a binary search.
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.

* MCMAHON!Devel-Command-0.08.xml consistently succeeds with maint and
fails with blead.
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.
Now it got a distropref.

* 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.

* PETDANCE/Template-Timer-0.04: I'm already used to seeing it fail. But
I just discovered that there were 4 consecutive sessions where it
succeeded:
20070430T1340 perl 31107 634 NOT OK
20070501T0032 perl 31110 760 OK
20070501T1746 perl 31111 769 OK

20070502T1604 perl 31117 431 OK
20070502T2300 perl 31120 505 NOT OK
It is not that simple that Template were missing. There is something
else going on.
* Apache-Session started to have a Semaphore problem recently:
20070417T1509 perl 30970 116 OK
20070417T2056 perl 30971 0 OK
20070418T2250 perl 30977 145 NOT OK
The semaphore tells us:
t/99flex...........Permission denied at /home/sand/.cpan/build/Apache-Session-1.82-jeBTMQ/blib/lib/Apache/Session/Lock/Semaphore.pm line 92.
(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.

* RRWO/CPAN-YACSmoke-0.03.tar.gz also broke recently

20070423T0905 maint-5.8 31011 0 NOT OK
20070423T1448 perl 31029 284 NOT OK
That's a normal dependency on Regexp::Assemble. 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:

* 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 $@ ? "N/A" : "OK";
print "\n";
----Output of .../pnKRDVH/perl-5.8.0@31078/bin/perl----

----EOF ($?='0')----
----Output of .../pGHaMwh/perl-5.8.0@31079/bin/perl----
OK
----EOF ($?='0')----
and ended with 31104. But 31105 is an impossible candidate for a
breaker. Maybe we must pay attn to the date once more?
20070428T1842 perl 31104 0 OK
20070429T0705 perl 31105 0 NOT OK
So what changed between the two perls?

Change 27264 by nicholas@nicholas-saigo on 2006/02/21 19:04:39
Reorder the SV flags so that SVp_?OK and SVf_?OK occupy 8 contiguous
bits (0x0000XX00). 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).

* 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.

It turns out that the test only fails when run under CPAN::Reporter.
Somehow the IO layer that CPAN::Reporter uses fools Term::Size::Unix
so that the test fails.
I can reproduce a similar effect by simply running
make test > /dev/null < /dev/null
The STDERR of this is:
$ make test > /dev/null < /dev/null

Who believes that the socket must be under /tmp/?
editing bin/comma-create-config.pl doesn't help. It seems that there was
a DBI or DBD::mysql change at some point in time. Or all my DBD::mysqls
were build wrongly?
Maybe, for sure the connect string must now be:
DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=comma;host=localhost;mysql_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock;mysql_local_infile=1","comma","comma")

I first noticed it with Params::Util.
20070419T1942 was the first one to fail, so it happened between
20070419T1622 perl 30979
20070419T1942 perl 30985
Only 8 tests out of my 880 distributions fail with this regression:
Params::Util, Graph (3 tests),
Then Algorithm::Dependency tries again to test Params::Util 4 times. 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?
Trying with blead@31000: make test OK; make run + install
INGY/YAML-0.39.tar.gz OK; make test OK.

* 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:-(

From: "Craig A. Berry" <craigberry@mac.com>
Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 16:22:40 -0500
Message-Id: <a05111703b91c44a6865f@[172.16.52.1]>
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.

Eeek.
* 30941 is a suspicious patch file. It mixes perl and maint-5.8 branches
in one patch and contains an "edit" without a diff following. 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. The error message hints at LWP::Protocol. We should
verify that this is not a "dependent" failure.

But take care, this 23964 failed on all of 00-load, 01-methods and
02-caching.t (every time with "Can't locate RPC/XML.pm"). 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.

* Nick denies 30900's responsibility. Something else must be it because
he sees the crazy loop going back to 30000. So I must gather facts now.
Questions?
MIME-tools is a distribution, not a module. 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.

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.

2007-04-07 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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

* 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.

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

This makes CPAN::Mini::Inject a bit less useful because I no longer
need the middle man.

* 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.

* with yesterday's fix DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08.tar.gz runs into
an endless installation loop:-(
2007-04-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* Prepending /home/k/.cpan/build/Text-Autoformat-1.13-tM9mak/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/Text-Autoformat-1.13-tM9mak/blib/lib /home/k/.cpan/build/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08-YLAScV/blib/arch /home/k/.cpan/build/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08-YLAScV/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'make'
Now I got it. 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

Same for 30824. But when I repeat the 'm' command after that, it works.
There must be a yaml file that breaks something. Needs further investigation.
The broken YAML file is ~/.cpan/build/DBD-SQLite-1.13-Hqur1h.yml which
fails at line 30/31:

YAML::LoadFile isn't accepting this as valid YAML either. So who wrote
it? It was written by YAML::Syck 0.84.

* The HTTP::Body failing test is interesting. 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.
Replacing YAML with YAML::Syck resolves the problem. But running the
program in the debugger with YAML also resolves it.

Also posted to P5P.
* Much worse, I just discover that the last run of megainstall hangs and
it is not obvious where.
It has to do with Jifty and lsof says it has
/home/k/.cpan/build/Jifty-0.70117-rnNlvG/t/Mapper as the CWD.
The last lines in the output file are
Calling 'column' within a schema class is deprecated:

Please write this instead:

I blame the extra tests I did for 30777

Are there google results on the
error message "Tcl_InitNotifier:

I suppose my box upgrade on 0328 triggered some tcl breakage and I can
ignore the issue from bleadperl's viewing angle.

* Template::Timer 0.04, don't know where it comes from.
It's been uploaded in 2005 and does profiling on TT. Catalyst-View-TT
may have brought that in but who brought us that? Need to look into RT
which is down at the moment. There is one bugreport about strange
behaviour with 5.9.2 but no followup. Here it fails with 20002 too and
with 16904.
Cannot imagine what the problem is. Maybe som TT internal thing and
older versions of Template did something differently.

It seems to indicate that some modules were built and tested
successfully and await installation. But why did they not get installed?
I can see elsewhere in the logfile:
DMAKI/DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08.tar.gz
make install UNINST=1 -- OK
STBEY/Bit-Vector-6.4.tar.gz
make install UNINST=1 -- OK
DCONWAY/Text-Autoformat-1.13.tar.gz
make install UNINST=1 -- OK
So apparently three times the unsetting of the is_tested flag did not
work. Do we have a new bug in perl or is it our own bug?
Going back to February 22, I see the same thing for
DateTime-Util-Astro-0.08-BsMTev XML-LibXML-1.62-Zi4hvt
Apache-Session-1.82-3jaGeJ Bit-Vector-6.4-nHiJ0u
This was less noisy in January, started in February, so I suppose our
own bug:(

The two gpg failures/terminated questions are suspicious. I rename them
to .out.term so they do not lead to confusion.
* Perlbal failing with maintperl, bleadperl (very different failure
modes). 2 reports sent (as k), check which arrived!
And 5.8.8 failed the first time but succeeded the second time. Binary
search impossible because sometimes it hangs. Too fragile: hanging test
45 for example. Maybe the prerequisites not tight enough?

* Verilog-Perl a.k.a. Verilog::Language broke some day but not on perl

cannot test Module::Build with the error message:
Skipping test because of notest pragma
I do not know who sets it. Even after 'fforce get' it is set.
After removing all Module-Build*.yml files in the build directory the
problem goes away. Apparently we restore the pragma from a previous

* 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

* 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.

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.

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.

This doesn't seem to be possible to do reliably. As soon as I let STDOUT
and STDERR be joint with 2>&1 some tests fail. I think I'd prefer to
have the Test:: stuff refrain from using STDERR alltogether and as long
as they don't (or can't?) I'll let some STDERR escape.
And this?

* Class::MOP needs a binary search because test t/003methods.t fails in
blead but not in 22000. But a naive binary search discovers breakage in
t/081_meta_package_extension.t on patch 26370. But we certainly can
ignore that because this test works again nowadays. So I need a
distropref to limit tests.
Learn something new about Module::Build:
./Build test --test_files t/mytest.t
So now binary search again without the 081 test:

* 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)

=> 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.

So apparently I knew too little about @INC population.
It seems perl 5.8.8 scans the PERL5LIB directories at startup if they
exist and only populates @INC for directories that either are explicitly
mentioned or that really exist. The directories .../5.8.8 and
.../5.8.8/i686-linux-64int are not added as long as they are not
created.
And apparently I had always relied that perl solves it for me.
POSTED analysis to P5P with the subject "Composing @INC from PERL5LIB".
* David Cantrell reports that YAML must be > 0.39 if we want to use it.

* 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.

Maybe I had a different smtp host then? I do not remember to ever have
changed it.

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?

2007-02-24 Andreas Koenig <k@andreas-koenigs-computer.local>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* scripts installation broken. Tried it with pingomatic and keepcool. FIXED
* when was notest introduced? In 1.80, December 2005. New features by

* consider different sorting of directory listings. suggested by Slaven.

* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.

1.8802 does not seem to have this bug. Ah, but I cannot reproduce it now
with 1.88_74 either, so it's not always there. Turning off
cache_metadata does not bring it back.
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.

* Talk: convert a megainstall file to HTML with <pre> and <span
class="XXX"> 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
on that page either except for a link to the Michael.Sinz homepage.
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.

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

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.

* 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

=> 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/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.

* Got another mail from T. Need to close the issue. Better a WONTFIX

2007-02-03 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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<use version; our $VERSION = qv'1.2.3';>. 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.

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.

2007-02-02 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.

+ You don't seem to have neither Math::BigInt::GMP and Math::BigInt::Pari

+ Many astronomical calculations require the arbitrary-precision math

+ 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.

* hunting XML::Twig/bleadperl test failures again. I started this once
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

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

* 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'.

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.

* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.

* 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.

2007-01-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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
=> CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeThree
=> A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-CircDepeThree-1.00.tar.gz
=> CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeTwo
=> 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-CircDepeThree-1.00.tar.gz: make_test NO one dependency not OK (CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make::CircDepeTwo)
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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.
* Bug: 5.8.9 cannot install Compress::Zlib 2.003

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.

* 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?

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.

* 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.

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

Module::Plan::Lite. But binary search points to 29672 which cannot be to
blame. SOLVED in rt.cpan.org

* 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 &

Also needed for POE which opens Tk windows.

* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.
It's time to rethink a global way out of modules that hang in an IO
operation.
* 11-17 lists a few things for documentation.
* make up your mind about install_tested.

* 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
distropref/patch to fix MethodMaker.xs, then the signature test breaks.
Patching SIGNATURE does not help either because the file is signed. The
solution is to patch 0-signature.t too and let it skip all tests.

* 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.

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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>

* New bug in testcover:

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.

* 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.

* #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.

* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.7os6VVqR@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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().

* 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.

* 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

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

be limited in scope

* 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?

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

Current solution confuses YAML.
After some rewriting of CPAN::Kwalify I'm stuck with this:

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

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

* 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.
2006-11-14 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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);
$d->{CONTAINSMODS} = \%list_of_mods;
* 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.
2006-11-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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:
LWP failed with code[500] message[read timeout]

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 ->

no central role within CPAN. One can always refuse to use them. Hrm.

* 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.

CPAN: File::HomeDir loaded ok (v0.58)
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.

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.

* 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

* I just wrote in a mail to Sendu Bala:

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:

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
t/02-content...........NOK 23/32
# Failed test at t/02-content.t line 62.
# got: 'xml'
# expected: 'base64'

t/02-content...........dubious
Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)

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

*** 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.

[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?

* Faszinating: Coro/eg/readline
2006-11-02 Andreas J Koenig <akoenig@*c*nm*b*l*.com>
* Oops! Something changed my
t/CPAN/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Build-DepeFails-1.02.tar.gz
!!! Ahh, that explains something! The copy I had here believed to be
newer and "M", I should have reverted, I suppose.
* 30shell fails because of missing checksum data after a force get.
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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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
Fixed in rev. 1172

With CPAN::Reporter 0.29, all the config items are switched over. The
Todo backlog is still non-trivial, but I don't think any of the items
will cause back-compatibilty problems down the line. Given that,
please feel free to add CPAN::Reporter to Bundle::CPAN whenever you

2006-10-29 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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
much worse in case a patch has been applied.
* new method perl_fingerprint and _is_deeply or so to compare previous
and current fingerprint. DONE in rev. 1158
* Math::Pari was definitely broken by blead. Make it a bug report(?)

2006-10-28 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.
* write a dummy distro that reads arguments to Makefile.PL and another
one that reads something from STDIN (or maybe both in one) DELAYED until
the distroprefs stuff leaves the alpha stage.
* replace 03 index file with YAML.
* Todo/buglet: turn on debug "CPAN" and find the reason why
incommandcolor is quite often not reset. We had that further down but I
fear it is not yet fixed.
* H3 Locking: Linda W writes

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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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
again?
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
installed
OK, so nothing new.
2006-10-24 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* Coro 2.0 works with bleadperl Yay! YAML for Coro with default answers
written.
* 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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <data>. 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.
* SMPETERS fixed DBI-1.52. Thank you! YAML for DBI with patch address
written
2006-10-23 Andreas J Koenig <akoenig@iconmobile.com>
* make a list of cpanconfig variables that can be changed via
distroprefs. Extend the list and document it, so that people can look it
up and do not have to read the source and can file bug reports against
it.
I fear for example that the preferred builder is not configurable(?)
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.
2006-10-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* release a 1.8802 with the HTML::Mason workaround? Because it may take
a while until 1.89 is ready to go. DONE in rev. 1120

2006-10-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* add CPAN::Reporter to Bundle::CPAN (which version of CPAN.pm needs
CPAN::Reporter currently? -- 1.88) WAITING for OK from David Golden
* Tina suggests: if the user has changed some config variable via 'o
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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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.

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=101571 and on my local disk at
/home/src/perl/cpan-search-lite/CPAN-Search-Lite. As it needs DBI, it
cannot use bleadperl. Latest maint-perl is 28854.
AI::Categorizer needed by t/basic.t, not listed as prereq. Needs in turn
(unlisted?) Algorithm::NaiveBayes. Bug report to Ken sent.
Warning: prerequisite Config::IniFiles 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite DBD::SQLite 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite File::Listing 0 not found.
DBD::SQLite did not compile on the first try. But it did on the second.
I think in between I installed libsqlite0-dev.
Trying make test.
No again: I have no Lingua::StopWords:=(
No SOAP::Lite
No Perl::Tidy
No HTML::TextToHTML
No Pod::Xhtml
No XML::SAX::ExpatXS
Finished installing prereqs, all tests except Mysql pass which is OK.
(mysql fails for me only because my mysql has no password and you cannot
specify on the commandline that it has no passwd. You can only specify A
password but it must not be empty)
make install is OK.

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.

* 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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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

* 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:

That brings me to the idea that it would be nice to add these
build-dependencies into ./blib/bdep or some such idf they are not
available. I put it on my Todo list.

2006-09-23 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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
ATRICKETT/Config-Trivial Test::Pod::Coverage

* 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 <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* 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
% mailq

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

* Tempted to give up on Term::ANSIColor. If I turn on colorize_output in

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

_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?

* How do I merge the branch 1.87-install-scripts into current code base?
The problem is, I do not remember where the branch started. Is this a
problem? I have the branches already checked out in ../SVN-branches/.
There I find the train hackathon result was in 689 and 686 was the copy
that started the branch.
So I guess the merge command would have to be
svn merge -r 686:689 https://pause.perl.org:5460/svn/cpanpm/branches/1.87-install-scripts
YES, this did it and is now to be checked in as rev. 733
'install ANDK/keepcool-0.344' works now like a charm, the stored script
name is even 'keepcool' and not 'keepcool-0.344'.

Andreas
dynamic_config was a major major design mistake, that they got
entirely backwards. It relies on authors to not forget to set the
dynamic flag, or it results in a failed install.
But of course, nobody ever does remember to set it, and we have a huge
number of existing modules that don't do this properly.
There is no problem at all in us having the requires values considered
to be "advisory" only, and then "localize" the dependencies.
In short, the flag should have actually been the other way around
(i.e. static_config) and so dynamic_config should ALWAYS be 1, unless
you have it EXPLICITLY set to 0.
We may or may not be able to get the spec revised later on, but in the
mean time, dynamic_config should aways be 1 unless you have an
explicit 0, not just when there is no requires field.
This makes installation potentially a bit slower, and less able to
shortcut, but it makes sure that installation remains correct.
I just tried to make this a Todo item but then checked the code and
found it bahaves already as Adam suggests. ---> DONE

Add it to your "requires" hash, that way it will end up in META.yml and
if people have YAML installed, they can read it.
If people have YAML not installed they will call either the
Makefile.PL or the Build.PL to hopefully find out what the
prerequisites are. That way you get the prerequisites but as you have
noticed, it is too late for your build process.
I don't know how I will fix that. Suggestions welcome. I put it into my
Todo file.
* Feature request: when asking 'm /svn::notify/', then I would like to

separate pieces and make them lazy. Consider 'reload index', the

* Install without {My,}Config.pm, the rules should be:
if there is no CPAN/MyConfig.pm already loaded, we must try to load a
CPAN/Config.pm
if there is no CPAN/Config.pm, we must initialize one immediately. If we
are root, this should be something like
/usr/local/perl-5.8.0@27277/lib/5.8.8/CPAN/Config.pm as I just tested it
with 5.8.8.
So if root installs CPAN without testing it, they have no CPAN/Config.pm.
They start it and land immediately in the init process. Good.
If he runs 'make test' it should succeed all tests. Currently it fails
12cpan and skips 30shell because of 'no Expect'. ==> TODO. DONE with
rev. 659
If they have no CPAN/Config.pm and start cpan as an ordinary user, then
they should get, without asking, a ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm and land in
the init dialog. This is currently OK.

Proceed? [yes]
This time I look immediately into the CHECKSUMS file (which is the cached
one!) and indeed there is no Net-Daemon-0.39.tar.gz in it. On the CPAN
we do have a newer checksums file. Is this cool?
So we have the root of the cause. Now for a solution?
I can answer 'no' and then reproduce the problem. Note that the old
CHECKSUMS file is 3 months old and its timestamp is 1 month old.
Fixed in 638 with the new argument $sloppy for CHECKSUM_check_file, but
test still missing. ... Test added by adding CHECKSUMS@588 in rev. 643

'install Net::LDAP' and got the same error.
Now I try perl-5.8.8-RC1 with its 1.83: it succeeds but asks me again if
I want to run sudo.

What is it about, the ExtUtils::AutoInstall line? ExtUtils::AutoInstall
is NOT part of the core. Net::LDAP comes with version 0.59, Audrey has

I think it goes like so:
have no perm -> ask sudo -> user says no -> success
have perm implicit yes -> failure
This is consistent with all of above.... After some more investigation

* Bug: illegal entries in the Config hash are never removed and a hash
cannot be emptied. The latter is FIXED with rev. 475, the former with
rev. 476.
* Bug (Tyler MacDonald): OK, I've figured out what went wrong: 0.27_06
isn't on www.cpan.org/pub/CPAN yet. However, *how* it went wrong is
truly bizzare: LWP returned a "404 not found" error, yet somehow I still
ended up with a .tar.gz and .tar file, and CPAN thinking it had actually
downloaded something. This looks like a bug in CPAN.pm, both in the 1.7
version that's distributed with 5.8.7, and the latest release, 1.83.
In my environment, this comes from curl. After fixing the curl switches,
the problem persists. This time is lynx to blame, but for lynx there is
no commandline switch that propagates a 404 to a false. So we now read
the file that lynx sends us and heuristically decide if it is an error
message. FIXED in revision 477.
2006-01-25 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* Bug: META.yml may contain build_requires which for example File::BOM
specifies. It doesn't matter that I believe that it is not a
build_requires, it is really a requires because only tests fail, not the
build process. But I must merge the two hashes. FIXED in rev. 471
* Foreign bug: YAML with bleadperl fails a test which succeeds with
maintperl. REPORTED
* Bug: with 1.8358 from the core CPAN says after the start
"lib/CPAN/Config.pm initialized" and goes into the init dialog. After ^C
I find a lib/CPAN/Config.pm file.
Ahhh, that's how 'o conf commit' had written my dontload_hash: producing
a syntax error. FIXED in rev. 466

17237 may be fixed with rev. 464 but not yet tested.
rev. 465 continued to work on 17237 and I consider it fixed now.
rev. 467 fixes 17238
rev. 465 also is an answer to 17241 because this was most likely not a bug
rev. 469 fixes 17266
17242 is the request to work with Win32::OLE which I could only reply to
with 'patches welcome'
* Bug: setting "o conf dontload_hash ''" breaks the shell: C<Can't use
string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at lib/CPAN.pm line
833.> FIXED in rev 464.
2006-01-21 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* see if podlators 2.0.1 fixes the broken README and if so, switch back
to ${PERL} in the Makefile.PL. FIXED in rev. 457
* bug: while trying to install Bundle::CPAN, YAML was delayed "until
after prerequisites" but later was not retried or maybe was retried but
CPAN said, it was
Running make for I/IN/INGY/YAML-0.53.tar.gz
Is already unwrapped into directory /home/k/.cpan/build/YAML-0.53
Delayed until after prerequisites
Running make test
Delayed until after prerequisites
Running make install
Delayed until after prerequisites
So the installation of Bundle::CPAN was not really tried to finish.
The dependency chain is as follows:
YAML depends on Class::Spiffy and Test::Base
Test::Base depends on Spiffy
Bug is that ->{later} is not double checked when encountered. Fixed in
rev. 454.
2006-01-18 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* Foreign Bug: RDF::Simple has LWP::UserAgent as undeclared prereq???
Running make against RDF::Simple pulls in a lot but it finally comes to
an end. When I then run test, the whole load of modules starts testing
and three fail their tests:
ABW/AppConfig-1.56.tar.gz : make_test NO
FLUFFY/Class-MethodMaker-2.08.tar.gz : make_test NO
ZOOLEIKA/RDF-Simple-0.22.tar.gz : make_test NO
paging back reveals: all the RDF::Simple tests fail due to missing
LWP::UserAgent, RDF::Simple::Serialiser, and Class::MethodMaker. The
latter two do not appear when I test against 5.8.8-tobe. REPORTED via
RT.
AppConfig fails due to "Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call at
t/file.t line 112, <DATA> line 69." This is a 5.9.3 issue, we succeed
with 5.8.8-tobe (@26917) REPORTED via p5p.
Class-MethodMaker tests fail complaining that they cannot find
Class::MethodMaker. This is also a 5.9.3 issue. Fully automated binary
search is impossible unless I find a smaller test case. 26492 ok, 26493
not ok. Ha! It is a Makefile.PL vs Build.PL issue! On RT #16241 I have
added this observation.
2006-01-17 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* rt #17089 suggests that we have to care for M:B being installed when
we find a distro that has only a Build.PL and no Makefile.PL
AFAIR only CPAN::Metadata::RDF is a module that comes with Build.PL and
without Makefile.PL, so it is the only one to test the bugreport. This
takes *quite* a while because of prerequisites (Class::MethodMaker,
Template::Toolkit, DateTime::TimeZone, DBD::SQLLite, LWP, etc.). And of
course after all the prerequisites, we HAVE Module::Build, so must
remove it again. FIXED in rev. 433
* Foreign Bug? I must investigate DateTime::TimeZone separately. It
wanted to install Module::Build on its own and then failed giving as a
reason that Module::Build was not installed???
It turns out the prereq_pm is undef for some reason. But prereq_pm is
only built during the 'make' step and then not resetted during a 'force
get'. The 'prereq_pm_detected' bit is set and I must leave/enter the
shell to debug this. OK. I see a Makefile.PL that simply fails because
Module::Build is not installed. At least it says what it wants, but we
must be better prepared for such an attack. OK, I'll file a bugreport
against both DateTime::TimeZone and Module::Build -- somebody has to
confess that it is a prereq and write it into the META.yml. That's what
I would say. DONE
2006-01-13 Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>
* Bug: when ~/.cpan/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.83_54.tar.gz is
not a tar file (because I mistyped a URL and got something else), then
even "force get ANDK/CPAN-1.83_54.tar.gz" does not overwrite the bogus
file. The stupid program just keeps complaining that the file is not a
tarfile and I must remove it manually.
Ahh, this bug needs not be fixed because it only happens when you have
no Digest::SHA available. REJECT
* Bug: $CPAN_config_loaded should be replaced with something like

!print $CPAN::META->{readonly}{"CPAN::Module"}{"Crypt::Khazad"}{"CPAN_VERSION"} = "1.0"

* From: David Golden <david@hyperbolic.net>:
> Also, "lack of distname support" is overblowing the situation.
> Distnames are supported perfectly fine as long as you put it in the
> proper syntax with author's ID and version.
I think the problem Jim encountered is that "proper syntax" is part of
the arcana of CPAN. It's not obvious from the help:
> a,b,d,m WORD or /REGEXP/ about authors, bundles, distributions, modules
> i WORD or /REGEXP/ about anything of above
> r NONE reinstall recommendations
> ls AUTHOR about files in the author's directory
Something that clarifies that AUTHOR/DIST-VERSION is a valid format
would help. Or rather, some specific example of what that WORD can be:
where WORD is either a module, bundle or author name or a
distribution name of the form AUTHOR/DISTRIBUTION-VERSION
It's vaguely alluded to in the CPAN perldoc, but only in the section
describing the four CPAN::* classes.
A doc patch would be a quick fix for this.

* Bug: why did the release only contain a ChangeLog up to release
206 when we were at 212? Ah, I see, the disttest target does not
make a to-be-released file, must be done by make dist. So the
whole release was @206. No harm done because between 206 and 212 I
only worked on the release target. I think I need a disttest of my
own that takes the dist.tar.gz already built and tests it, not the
one that builds a dist from the air again into the air and tests
that. I want a real test of that file that is going to be
released. Then I can live with 'make release' running both dist
and disttest. I think. DONE

* Bug: there is a directory ZTANG/Text-PORE-102/ on CPAN with a
single file README in it. ls chokes on ZTANG because of this. Is
it a bug that the directory exists or is it a bug that it has no
CHECKSUMS file? FIXED by simply removing the README file from
CPAN.

* Bug: "o conf foo bar" should complain about invalid key "foo".
It does instead set "foo" to "bar" and it happened to me to set
"debug" to "all" and then I wondered why debugging was not turned
on. Would it have complained, I would have found the correct
command ("o debug all") much quicker. FIXED in rev. 178.
* Same effect can be illustrated by changing to the source's root
directory, running 'perl -Ilib -MCPAN -e shell', 'install
Tie::CPHash' (or something else???) and then 'reload cpan'....
Ahhh, this latter example it is a matter of somebody having turned
off $^W globally:-)...FIXED
2003-08-13 Andreas J Koenig
cpan script should accept arguments as suggested by Matt Sergeant:
cpan install My::Foo
Cache manager should read youngest directories first and start
deleting without measuring as soon as the cache limit is reached.
Rename 'o conf' to 'set' and 'o debug' to 'set debug'.
Profiling?
Provide something, so that the next "o conf commit" will not overwrite
the config file. maybe "myconfig_readonly"?
I have a patch by Jochen Wiedmann that implements a per-distribution
permanent configuration directory. The new containsmods() method in
1.52 should help to fit the patch with the rest of CPAN.pm.
Option to skip testing (Ask Bjoern Hansen).
Default Argument for make,test,look,etc. could be the last argument???
Make a preferred download method configurable (allow further download
methods via plugin?)
Allow different site preferences for index files and other files
Replace make with Make
Maintain the cache at runtime. Currently we only check it at startup.
Distribute compressed CHECKSUM files
Security layer
make plugins configurable, adjust @ISA
Make configurable that multiple additional index files can be
integrated (for Intra-CPANs). I believe CPAN::Site did it right
anyway, so we might skip this.
Make the 'make' command itself configurable as suggested by Rujith de
Silva <rujith.desilva@ps.net>, who wants to run 'sudo make install'
instead of 'make install'. (Fixing this is delayed, because it
interacts with Make.pm)
