Replying to [comment:8 mikehh]:
> had problems with the branch see http://nopaste.snit.ch/29545
I looked at that paste. My hunch is that in the directory tree where you
were working, you had previously called `perl Configure.pl
--configure_trace`. You then checked out the new branch and called that
again without an intervening `make realclean`. That meant that the
Storable file holding the trace data was appended to, rather than being
regenerated from scratch.
This is a mistake I've made, and it always becomes manifest as a failure
in the postconfiguration test where you had an error. A `make realclean`
solves it.
Mike, as the author of Parrot::Configure::Trace, I'm glad to see that
there is at least one other person in the world who uses it :-) . But
since it's intended to be a diagnostic for what, these days, are
relatively infrequent problems in the configuration process, and since its
own code is quite stable, you don't really need to run `--configure_trace`
on every test run.
The more important question: Is coke correct is saying that this branch
screws up `make html`?
Thank you very much.
