[Perldl] Re: Astro::FITS::Header warning fix

Sat, 19 Aug 2006 14:52:56 -0700

Hi Chris,

I had a look at the sourceforge admin section and made you a 'release technician'. That should allow you to make a file release. Could you please try this out? It seems best if the release manager is able to this him/herself (plus I am lazy ;).

Your efforts are most appreciated by all of us!

Christian

Hi Chris,

I can look into that. Yesterday when I tried
with the release candidate I still got the
millions of FITS warnings. So whatever the fix
was supposed to be it didn't quite work. I
believe we should introduce a new PDL_CONFIG
FITS_WARN which is set to 0 in perldl.conf. So
even people with their own .perldl.conf's don't
get the noise.

Thoughts?


Was that because you don't have
Astro::FITS::Header (which is now a pre-requisite
module) installed ?

Seems to me (in general) that if you don't install
the pre-requisites, then you're fair game for all
sorts of noise :-)

The Astro::FITS::Header is listed as a prerequisite but
we don't fail the build process if it is not there.  The
intended fix for the hyper-warnings was already in the
code but needed a "use PDL::Config{FITS_LEGACY};"
in FITS.pm to work.

This is the PDL_CONFIG_FITS_WARN functionality but
with a different name.  Right now, FITS_LEGACY is set
to 1 in perldl.conf by default.  We could redo the build
to temporarily enable warnings for the perl Makefile.PL
and re-enable afterwards for quieter test output.

Right now, the latest cvs rel_2_4_3_final2 includes
that fix.  I tried uploading the PDL-2.4.3.tar.gz to
the sf.net patches page but I think there is a file
size/type limit.  As a result, a sf.net admin will need to

- cvs checkout -r rel_2_4_3_final2
- perl Makefile.PL
- make disttest     #one last check
- make tardist       #make the tar.gz file for release

And then put the resulting file up on sf.net for release
with a release announcement.

Ditto for CPAN with that file.

Follow with a slashdot announcement.



If there is something else I can help with, please let me
know.
