CPAN smoking - just started
Wheeew, it's smoking. The CPU is melting, room temperature rose and the
nice and nifty NetBSD-5 BETA box is doing CPAN smoke builds. Basically I
used a NetBSD pkgsrc packaged Perl and installed the tools for the smoke
builds by hand. I think it would be useful to have them packaged in
pkgsrc, something I will start working on at the weekend. In the
meantime my server downloads all the CPAN Perl modules and tries to
build them. After a successful build it will run the test target and
mail the results back to CPAN.
Here is such a report in a more detailed view. Follow the links to see
it. It sums up the build, lists the prerequisites and the test results.
If the tests generated an error the author of the module will be
included in the recipients list. I hope to get a few patches out of
pkgsrc this way and to provide an easy way for our users to check the
status of Perl in NetBSD.
