Hi all,
Module::Build hasn't shipped a proper release for a good while, and a
few alphas have gone out since then (including the one in 5.10.0). Now
I find myself apparently expected to ship it.
My examination of the .meta files in the cpan says 9095 distributions
have a META.yml with 'generated_by' citing Module::Build. To my
knowledge, the testing of pre-release versions does not extend to
building or testing these 9k+ distributions, and once it ships, the
failure reports go to a lot of authors, not M::B maintainers.
So, that worries me. Does anyone have the ability to setup a set of
out-of-band tests to avoid spamming everyone else with my failures?
Tools to generate this list of distributions from a cpan mirror could
be made, or tell me what would help. Andreas, I think you said you had
run a round of tests on the alpha just before this one? With the
installer set to MB?
Oh, and the latest change is blocking TAP::Harness changing to
a "foo ....... ok" output format.
Statistical snacky bit: the 'generated_by' count on the big three goes:
extutils::makemaker: 23338, module::build: 9095, module::install: 8289.
Thanks,
Eric
