But if FEATURES=test is considered more importand in the future, I'll continue bugging you with related bugs. I would also recommend all ATs not only FEATURES=collision-protect but also to activated the test suites. I normally report failing tests on all bugs I test (which are a few :), but these tests are sometimes to dependent on specific versions of other packages or the environment they nearly have no use. However I think we have a long way to go till we can even think of enabling it by default. Right.

You're missing context. There were a number of things that were being considered for development 'right now', so to speak, and CPAN was originally one of them. But because of CPAN's icky dependency handling and conflicts with tree things, it's been moved to 'something we'll do if we find someone who knows Paludis and CPAN and who is prepared to stick in lots of effort'. The biggie with CPAN is that it appears to be rather tricky to figure out dependencies at dependency resolution time. With CRAN, for example, dependencies are listed up front, so there's no problem or performance issue making 'paludis --install --pretend some-cran-package' display a full correct dep list. Getting this working with CPAN doesn't seem to be a weekend job... -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Actually, the conversation was more like: ciaran) What do we do next? CPAN? CTAN? kugelfang) let's ask mcummings for CPAN help. The deps can't be easily resolved iirc. mcummings) no other way, meta.yml isn't always there, and even g-cpan.pl needs several runs, and might even get the deps not correctly. ciaran) screw it then. kugelfang) CTAN? no deps at all. ciaran) screw it. From my POV those screw it were related to 'what do we do next', and not CPAN. Especially as CPAN wasn't the only option in consideration. In regard to the to the 'strict guidelines' and 'paludis not up to the job'. We _could_ implement it, but none of the possible implementations is really elegant. We considered these possibilites: * using an external repo, that autogenerates the dep information _after downloading all of CPAN_. (yes, that would be necessary) * g-cpan mode of autogenerating the builds, where the distfiles need to be downloaded recursively at dep-resolution time. Just to get the facts straight.

Hi Everyone, Please welcome our latest forums staff, Jorge Vicetto aka jmbsvicetto. Here's an intro from him : I was born at Terceira Island, Azores. I've completed high school at Terceira and attended the computer and information science programme at the Portuguese College IST (Higher Technical Institute) at Lisbon. I've later returned to Terceira where I started working as a net/sys admin while completing a B.Sc. in Computer and Information Science with UMUC - University of Maryland University College. I've got my B.S. on June 2004. I was accepted for the M.Sc. in Internet Computing at the University of Liverpool on September 2005, having transfered to the M. Sc. in Information Technology (specialisation in Information Security). Currently, for personnal reasons, I've suspended my enrollment on the programme. I've been working at the Angra do Heroísmo Nursing School since September 1999 as a net/sys admin and consultant to the Director's board. I've also worked as a consultant for the Azorean Health Finantial Institute for 1 year and a half. I'm currently also working since October 2004 to the Angra do Heroísmo Hospital as net/sys admin and consultant. I started working with Linux around 1996. The first distribution I used was Slackware, probably 3.1. I then used 2 or 3 versions of Red Hat starting at 4.0 and including 5.2. I later switched to SuSE and used versions 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0, 7.1, 8.0 and 9.0. From there I switched to Gentoo in March 2004 with the 2004.0 release. I think I tried the 1.4 release, although I'm not sure. I also tried FC1 and FC2, but never used it for long. I've since then used openSuSE 10.X at work. I also run SLES 9.0 at work. For recovery and testing I've used several versions of knoppix and sysresccd. I spend most of my time at work around the 2k/2k03 AD, doing the usual user, group and permissions management; looking over the network; taking care of the webmail and proxy servers; and creating, updating and maintaining our workstations. I've designed and helped implement the network at the Nursing School and was assigned to accompany the implementation of the network at the Hospital. I've designed and implemented the AD at both places. I've used Ghost and G4U to create the workstations for both places. I'm currently implementing park management with OCS_NG and GLPI. I keep a Postfix+Cyrus+Horde system for webmail and am currently switching it over to Gentoo. Throughout the years I've been maintaining systems running Oracle and Notes. I've also been running VMware GSX and now ESX Server. So, throw up the usual parties, say hello when you meet him and make him feel at home :) Regards, -- Shyam Mani | [EMAIL PROTECTED] docs-team | http://gdp.gentoo.org devrel | http://devrel.gentoo.org GPG Key| 0xFDD0E345 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
