Description:
This module implements the environmental variables that Test::Harness for use
with TAP::Harness.
Fedora Account System Username: pghmcfc
This package is intended for F-20 and EPEL-7 only. It provides a module
(TAP::Harness::Env) that was introduced as part of the Test-Harness
distribution in version 3.29 (already in Rawhide), but we have decided that it
would be inappropriate to update the whole perl-Test-Harness package from 3.28
as shipped in F-20 and EL-7; see Bug #1018157
However, the TAP::Harness::Env module is a requirement of versions of
Module-Build-Tiny after 0.028, and it is very desirable to have a recent
version of this in F-20 and EPEL-7, as a growing number of upstream developers
are using the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuildTiny module when building their
releases, and this by default adds a build dependency on whatever version of
Module::Build::Tiny is installed on the author's system (usually the most
recent release). I have been asked a number of times to update this module in
F-20 and EPEL-7 (Bug #1056343, Bug #1064689), and the introduction of a
perl-TAP-Harness-Env package would allow me to do this.
The idea for introducing this package came from upstream; see:
https://github.com/Leont/dist-zilla-plugin-modulebuildtiny/issues/7
There is a precedent for this type of package: see Bug #450553
