Some ideas (was Re: How to force tests to issue "NA" reports?)

2005-04-08 Thread Robert Rothenberg
I'm all for something like this, though I prefer "requires_libraries" instead. (Listing libraries distinct from applications is a grey area, so best to put them under one term.) Come to think of it, why not "recommends_libraries" too? What is needed is some standard set of library and applicatio

How to force tests to issue "NA" reports?

2005-04-06 Thread Robert Rothenberg
Is there a way tests to determine that a module cannot be installed on a platform so that CPANPLUS or CPAN::YACSmoke can issue an "NA" (Not Applicable) report? CPANPLUS relies on module names (e.g. "Solaris::" or "Win32::") but that is not always appropriate in cases where a module runs on many

Script to find Module Dependency Test Results...

2004-07-22 Thread Robert Rothenberg
I have a prototype Perl script that will determine the dependencies of a given CPAN distribution, and then check CPAN Testers for any failure reports of that distro or dependent distros for a given platform. I would like to work with other people to turn this into something of use to the community,

results for platform 'x' for a specific module, I can check to see if one of the dependent modules fail on that platform. Thanks, Robert Rothenberg (FYI, I've just posted a question on PerlMonks regarding this, http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=373386)
