Casual testers

2010-08-17 Thread yary
Hello all, I install Test::Reporter on any machine I administer, so that as I install perl modules, their success or failure gets reported. Now I'm getting emails asking me to use HTTP. I'm trying to follow them, but am hitting roadblocks, and am wondering why I'm jumping through hoops to fix what

Thanks all for the reasoned replies. I'm mixing them up in my response below > Out of curiosity, are you using CPAN or CPANPLUS? I was using both, if I had any problems installing a module w/CPAN I'd try w/CPANPLUS. Now I'm only using CPAN. I expect to tryout cpanm (cpan-minus) before the ye

Hi, Did you also edit ~/.cpanreporter/config.ini, adding the "transport" and "email_from" lines as documented in the newly-updated page http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/QuickHowToCT20 ? Without the "transport" line properly set, it still defaults to email sending. -y

Veering off topic here- seems like the original issue is taken care of, and I'm glad there's a workaround in sight that's lightweight. Anyway, I've been in enterprises where NFS is in wide use, and I also used a boot-from-network diskless server that had /tmp mounted via NFS... and as for "One can

Submitting test results that were collected off-line

I send test reports from CPAN/CPANPLUS as I install modules, but yesterday metabase/cpantesters was down. So I changed the transport in my .cpanreporter/config.ini from "Metabase ..." to "File ~/.cpanreporter/offline" and that directory is now full of files about test results for my recent installs

The index page http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/T/ has some modules with a "+" in their name, like "Text-Format+NWrap" and "Text-Tabs+Wrap". They link to pages like "http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/T/Text-Tabs+Wrap.html"; which don't resolve: "404 Not Found The requested URL /distro/T/Text-Tabs+

If you're starting a new project and it happens to be in ANSI C, any functions declared as "static" are only visible to that source file. I suspect that isn't applicable here, but since lua is small, maybe adding "static" declarations to the functions-to-hide will work. Another possibility is to t
