Hi David, If a prerequisite fails, then the report should be abandoned for the current distribution you're testing. You end up sending too many bogus reports otherwise. This is how YACSmoke works.
In YACSmoke, if a prerequisite fails, then the current report is recorded as ABORT. It is planned to record the failed prerequisites, so that should any be retested and pass, YACSmoke can flag in some way that other distributions that require them can be retested. A report should be solely for the current distribution being tested. The only reason a NA report should be sent, is that the distribution doesn't work for the current platform or the current version of Perl. Sending an NA for a failing prerequisite is misleading.
