Since there is a lot of output going on meanwhile the tests are running, what
do you think about adding a signal handler to a signal like USR1, print the
statistics to STDOUT or STDERR and go back to whatever it was doing?

Assunto: Re: smoker speed and statistics
Hi. The CPAN::Reporter::Smoker repository is here:
https://github.com/cpan-testers/CPAN-Reporter-Smoker
I'm open to a pull request to output better statistics.

Hello there,
I've setup a smoker test on OpenBSD and noticed that it's somehow slower than
running a Smoker on Linux using the same VM configuration (I use Virtualbox).
Not sure if Linux can take some advantages when using Virtualbox that OpenBSD
can't (at least I know that Guest Additions is not available to the latter, but
that shouldn't have a impact on performance anyway). The real problem is that I
can't tell how much slower OpenBSD is for CPAN::Reporter::Smoker compared to
Linux. Of course that are a lot of others things involved (kernel
configuration, difference of filesystem) but I couldn't find any easier way to
compare speed between the two.
Is it possible to implement the features below on CPAN::Reporter::Smoker?
- How many distributions tested- How many yet to test- Calculate how many
distros per unit (minutes, hour, etc)
I didn't configure the smoker to skip some known problematic distributions, but
I already caught the smoker sitting idle waiting for output of make. This is
something that I already experimented (a lot) with Windows, but I think this is
OK since IPC is problematic anyway on that OS. But I'm surprise to see it
happening with OpenBSD.
In time: I'm using OpenBSD 5.7 with Perl 5.22.0 (compiled with Perlbrew) with
noatime and softdep configured on FFS
(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#DiskOpt). For some reason, compiling
Perl with Perlbrew on OpenBSD 5.8 is not working (it fails with crypt.t and
taint.t tests), but I didn't tried compiling it manually either.

Alceu
