I tried to do a Porting/sync-with-cpan today, and I see test failures. I
have recently made various changes to sync-with-cpan with the ultimate
objective of totally automating the sync process, so i have been trying it
on every update I become aware of, and unfortunately the 7.68 version does
not pass test as I would expect. I suspect this is PEBKAC at some level,
but I am not sure.

Also when I look after the tests have run I can see from 'git status' that
these files are left behind:
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
lib/Big/
lib/PL/
When I look at the Porting/Maintainers.pl for excluded files I see:
'EXCLUDED' => [
qr{^t/lib/Test/},
qr{^(bundled|my)/},
qr{^t/Liblist_Kid.t},
qr{^t/liblist/},
qr{^\.perlcriticrc},
'PATCHING',
'README.packaging',
'lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker/version/vpp.pm',
],
I suspect the excluded list is wrong, and more needs to be excluded. Do you
have any suggestions on how to proceed? FWIW, I would really love it if you
would tell me how to make this work, instead of making it work yourself
(which I am sure you could do), so that I can think about how to automate
this more, maybe working together with you. Eg, could we add some metadata
to the ExtUtils-MakerMaker distribution that Porting/sync-with-cpan could
use to automate whatever is required?
