Hi folks, After receiving a Daily Summary of *more than one* entry about a failing distribution, one author decided to simply reply to the summary address, which is the 'do_not_reply@cpantesters.org' ...

Okay, I think the key phrase here is 'installed'. What we do in the test environment is resolve all the dependencies for a given module and the <build_dir /blib/* directories get added cumulatively ...

Where the rubber meets the road- What is the default full pathname of the distroprefs file for CPAN.pm? Can someone post a file they use as an example? Same for CPANPLUS.pm- What is the default full ...

You may want to add this to your skip lists or distroprefs immediately if you're testing Acme modules. -- David

According to http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/02/msg3293765.html the lines that are failing are (from ...

Sorry to bother you. I apologize. It appears that the automated test software sometimes does strange things. I did not write it, but I use it.

These two reports are also bogus in that you are either not properly following declared pre-requisites, or are not properly detecting when those pre-requisites fail. -- David Cantrell | London Perl ...

This looks like a bogus report. It's complaining about Text::Glob not being available, but I don't use Text::Glob. One of my dependencies (File::Find::Rule) uses it, *and it's listed properly as a ...

hi, i've received the following error report: http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/3301043 however, it is testing with perl 5.6.x where i'm specifically requiring a perl 5.8 minimum. error ...

It looks like the attempts to improve CPANPLUS::Dist::Build to interact with Module::Build via subprocesses and to capture test output has inadvertently changed PERL5LIB in a way that creates ...

I'd always thought renaming the tarball to contain an underscore was an acceptable way to mark a distribution as dev-only. Chris is hypothesising that that may have confused CPANPLUS. Shouldn't ...
