[git comment in tarballs]
CPAN 1.92_64 is uploaded with a workaround for broken tar
implementations.
Thanks, that appears to work. At least, it Does The Right Thing for
perl-ldap-0.37.
So do we count this as a win for CPAN Testers? ;-)
Sort of, due to the fact the bug did get fixed.
perl-ldap-0.37 uploaded 28 Aug 2008. CPAN Testers FAILed it. Author
complained. People investigated. Underlying problem in tar addressed
in CPAN 1.92_64 released on 3 Sep 2008.
But the FAIL is record in the wrong place. It gets counted as a FAIL
in the distribution because the tester had issues building it that
were not really the fault of the distribution. So I would still
advocate changing these FAILs to UNKNOWNs
Graham.
