Test::Pod::Coverage tests...
by Chris Weyl 08 May '07

08 May '07

Hey all-- So there's a rather spirited discussion perl packaging discussion going on over at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237883 about Test::Pod::Coverage module tests, and their importance. The canonical approach is to insist on all tests being enabled that possibly can -- even to the point of requiring other modules be packaged to enable these tests. "Test as much as possible." Test::Pod::Coverage tests don't actually test the functionality of the module. Further, they can't tell you if that documentation is any good, or even plain wrong. We also have a practice of disabling this test out of hand if it fails for whatever reason... Further, usually upstream takes the step of explicitly requiring this test be enabled -- e.g. via TEST_POD=1 or some other mechanism. Documentation coverage is a good Kwalitee indication (as they say), not always an indication of good quality -- and certainly not a consistent, reliable indication of that. My opinion is that we ought to not mandate the use of Pod coverage tests, simply because for our purposes it doesn't really matter what their result is. If they're present, we should conditionalize the tests (e.g. %_with_pod_tests magic or some such), but not insist on them by default. Either way, we ought to document this in Packaging/Perl -- which I took a quick (and probably dirty) pass at reworking under PackagingDrafts/Perl. -Chris -- Chris Weyl Ex astris, scientia

Bugzilla 3.0 Perl Requirements
by Max Kanat-Alexander 06 May '07

06 May '07

Hey folks. Just wanted to let you know that Bugzilla 3.0 (which should be out soon) has a few perl pre-reqs that aren't in Extras. One of them is required: Email-Send And all of the others are optional but still useful: Template-GD Email-MIME-Attachment-Stripper Email-Reply In particular, Template-GD really should be in FE--it was originally part of Template-Toolkit and was moved out in version 2.15. I figured I'd let you know sooner rather than later, when users kept asking you for the packages, or when you had to build them anyway to build a new Bugzilla package. :-) -Max -- http://www.everythingsolved.com/ Competent, Friendly Bugzilla Services.

Catalyst status...
by Chris Weyl 04 May '07

04 May '07

So we're making good progress with the base Catalyst packages: all of the packages Catalyst::Runtime depends on have been reviewed and have been imported/built; in addition to Catalyst::Runtime, there are three other packages which need to be reviewed before Catalyst::Devel can be. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=238238 Beyond that, I suspect the next course of action would be to package up the outstanding deps for Task::Catalyst::Tutorial... I've put the output of this distro's deps (from my hacked version of cpanspec) up at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Perl/Catalyst. If anyone wants to help (*cough* recent emails *cough*), reviews are always good; packaging up parts of Task::Catalyst::Tutorial and submitting them would also be good (as I can help with reviews then). Anyways, enjoy :) -Chris -- Chris Weyl Ex astris, scientia

by Dave Cross 02 May '07

02 May '07

Last September there was some talk on this about getting Catalyst (and therefore DBIx::Class and SQL::Translator) into Extras. Was there any progress on this? And if people are help up through lack of resources, is there anything I can do to help? Cheers, Dave...
