	And after that failing tests.

	The File/Spec.pm in current bleadperl 32269 is the same, but I do not
	get these errors. Maybe the r command gives us a clue? No, it spits too
	much output.

	So I try an "update" to svk 3446 which was before Rich's patches and the
	failures are the same. I should also try 3275. Indeed, the test failure
	stays which should now have proven that it is not a change in my code
	that broke but something that which I have installed in my smoke perls.

	I should try perls close to 31790: 31613 and 31882. OK and OK. Now I can
	go through diffs in the modules and upgrade until I have the jerk. Fun.
	[...hours later...] This strategy does not lead anywhere.

	32248 has no problem with this test either. But the scope of the problem
	to compare whole trees with hundreds of interdependencies is simply too
	big.

	New idea: CPAN::Test::Dummy::Perl5::Make has been installed on those
	perls, has it not? Yes. And when I uninstall it, all's well.

	* This should become a BBC article:

----Program----
eval q{use Brackup 1.06};
print $@ ? "N/A" : "OK";
print "\n";

----Output of .../pDjpgoB/perl-5.8.0@22314/bin/perl----
OK

----EOF ($?='0')----
----Output of .../prHc4Oy/perl-5.8.0@22315/bin/perl----

	* Apache::Session failed today on 32235 because Test::Deep was missing.
	seq was 388 and the seq of Test::Deep was 390. The latter was
	successful, don't understand why it was not found by Apache::Session.
	Needs more investigations.

	* t/wmf/read..........

You already have a parser for (t/wmf/read.t) at /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/pe1S7WD/perl-5.8.0@32235/lib/5.10.0/TAP/Harness.pm line 412

	This happens with Image::MAgick and bleadperl@3223[05] even after I
	fixed the test output of t/setattribute.t.

	* RHANDOM/Template-Alloy-1.009.tar.gz works with 5.9.4, 5.9.5, 5.10.0
	but hangs with 5.8.* during 05_tt_base. I ^Ced all 5.8 tests. 5.6.2 worked again.
	Same for RHANDOM/Template-Parser-CET-0.05.tar.gz, even the test has the same name.

	* [rt.cpan.org #30554] Not possible to upgrade from v1.9101 

	Seems that I need to test with a perl that has no YAML.

	* Net::SSLeay 1.32: make fails with "could not answer a question during the
	dialog" or some such. Fails with 32230, 32226, 32222, 32219, 32216.

	32212 seems different at first sight but then fails too.

Can I please have an option or environment variable or install-time question
to *NOT* ask if it is ok to connect to the internet please?


	* where is the wiki? need to add hvds patches, Data::Dump::Streamer,
	bradfitz, Devel::Cover, etc. to my Sunday posting.

	* (Eric Wilhelm on module build mailing list) I think CPAN has a bug
	which causes it to pass make_arg to ./Build install. (I seem to remember
	having some grief with -j recently.)

	* [rt.cpan.org #30481] Fail Installing New Mail::SpamAssassin 3.2.3

	Need a fresh perl without spamassassin and build&test SpamAssassin as root.

	* what I want more than anything else before 5.10 is a list of all
	modules that need patching or don't work.

	A first approximation to the list that I really want would be a summary
	of all BBC articles and the state they reached.

	Shit, groups.google finds only 14 hits on "Bleadperl breaks CPAN" in a
	narrow timeframe. So how do I find the older postings?

	xray to the rescue: 373 hits on BBC. Now the list of affected modules.

	* what happens to "failed" when we reload the index? TESTED OK

	* force: I'd expect 'force ls' to always fetch fresh CHECKSUMS
	files. Currently it doesn't. FIXED in rev. 401

	* optimize "ls dowens": currently fetches D/CHECKSUMS and D/DO/CHECKSUMS
	even if we already have D/DO/DOWENS/CHECKSUMS. Is it worth fixing? NO

	* get rid of the summary currently provided by install bundle, its
	superceded by failed(). REJECT, maybe it's useful

	* Todo: document "failed" (and "status"?) DONE for failed, REJECT for status

	* today's rev. 374 of CPAN.pm should be partially reverted: while
	failed() looks good most of the time, it looks ugly that 'force install
	version' installs version and still failed reports:

Writing /usr/local/perl-5.8.0@26774/lib/site_perl/5.9.3/i686-linux-64int/auto/version/vxs/.packlist
  ./Build install --uninst 1 -- OK
Failed installations in this command:
  JPEACOCK/version-0.53.tar.gz                 : make_test NO

cpan> failed               
Failed installations in this session:
  BDFOY/Test-Prereq-1.029.tar.gz               : make_test NO
  JPEACOCK/version-0.53.tar.gz                 : make_test NO

	Correct behaviour should be that the 'make_test NO' bit be nuked. FIXED
	in rev. 387

	Above that, the "prompt" change was only interesting during debugging.
	Nobody wants to see the internal number of commands in his prompt. FIXED
	in rev. 388

	* Bug: YAML fails to unpack because of bad signature. Retrying leads to
	prereq Test::Base failing due to bad signature. Retrying leads to
	running make test on YAML. dump reveals that somehow SIG_STATUS was set
	to YES. Ahh, that's the signature on the CHECKSUMS file. Need a new
	attribute for broken signatures. FIXED in rev. 374

2006-01-09  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>

	* document CPAN_SHELL_LEVEL DONE

	* find out why Expect is so noisy and when this did start DONE

	* Slaven suggests: How to discover that we are in the subshell?
	Environment? Prompt? Level? PS1 as an environment variable? How does
	Debian's apt-get solve that? HALF-DONE in rev. 360: We now have the
	envariable CPAN_SHELL_LEVEL but I'd still like to make a change to the
	prompt. Update: Debian does not mangle the prompt, they just say 'Type
	exit when you're done':

	*** dvorak (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? z
Type `exit' when you're done.
Abstaining from writing .zhistory, is younger than stats.dbhash at /root/bin/commandhistory.pl line 513.

Linux dev05 2.6.12.6-xen0 #2 Tue Jan 10 17:34:37 CET 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

	So this Todo can also be CLOSED.

	* Rename Releasenotes to Changes and make the ChangeLog in the
	traditional format, there is some XSLT stylesheet somewhere that does
	this. Ah here: http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/svn2cl/svn2cl-0.5.tar.gz
	DONE up to rev. 352

2006-01-01  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>

	* Give every command a number and store that number in the object,
	something like incommandcolor but without removing it at the end of the
	command. With such a number we can make failed(commandnumber) filter on
	that commandnumber and have instant per-command-failed. DONE in rev 374

2005-12-31  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>

	* Bug: I install Archive::Extract and it has the prerequisite
	Module::Load::Conditional declared but nobody installs it.
	FIXED in rev. 329

2005-12-30  Andreas J Koenig  <akoenig@cellular.de>

	* FirstTime needs a structure over each question or questiongroup so
	that we can ask single questions. Structure was brought by Jim Comie
	around rev. 355

	* Bug: "reload cpan" does not work if the old and the new CPAN.pm
	have a different path. I installed a new CPAN.pm from CPAN and it
	did remove the old /usr/share/perl/5.8/CPAN.pm but installed the
	new one as /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7/CPAN.pm. The reload then
	always just said "0 subroutines redefined". FIXED in rev. 321

	* rev 315 fixed a path/permission problem with the use of basename() and
	I could see that the error message gets much better than before but we
	need a test case that shows that this strategy can really work in some
	cases. Maybe we need to store the tar file somewhere else to keep the
	tmp/ directory tidy. Also we must see what happens when we cannot remove
	the tmp/ directory. The list of broken distros in
	eg/find-module-install-sudo-bugs.pl will help. DONE

	* add eg/ to the MANIFEST? Not yet, the script is too much focused on a
	problem that is not of interest to others. REJECT

	* Bug: checksum mismatch on a file is being reported even when the
	file has 0 bytes. 0 bytes should clearly constitute the right/the
	duty to overwrite. FIXED in rev. 320

2005-12-29  Andreas J. Koenig  <andreas.koenig.gmwojprw@franz.ak.mind.de>

	* Bug suspected in Module::Install: it seems to run CPAN.pm in a
	subshell with sudo and so we get directories under build/ that we do not
	own. No release before this bug is traced down! Bugreport sent to Audrey
	a few minutes ago (already Friday, 0:30 Berlin time). Bug confirmed and
	has already been fixed in 0.37 and old distros must be redistroed. DONE

	* branching and merging: make current HEAD a branch "1.80_56plus" and
	roll HEAD back to contain only the zero-risk stuff (for maybe later
	releasing that as 1.81?) DONE
