view release on metacpan or search on metacpan
0.21 - Wed Sep 29 07:45:04 EDT 2010
Fixed:
- Skips t/smoke-disabled.t unless YAML is installed
0.20 Mon Sep 27 21:02:21 EDT 2010
Added:
- Checks distroprefs for skipping before firing up a CPAN test process
[Christian Walde]
- New 'reverse' option to reverse distribution test order
[Serguei Trouchelle]
- New 'force_trust' option to switch on CPAN's trust_test_report_history
(instead of relying on the existing CPAN configuration)
Fixed:
- Changed: if CPAN config option 'build_dir_reuse' is true and CPAN has
the 'reset_tested' method, then 'reset_tested' will be called prior
to each distribution's smoke test to limit PERL5INC to direct
dependencies only instead of all available build directories
- Documented: how to use (and limitations of) CPAN's build_dir_reuse
config option
0.09 Wed Apr 23 22:56:17 EDT 2008
- Documented: CPAN distroprefs option is 'prefs_dir' not 'pref_dir'
(Serguei Trouchelle)
0.08 Mon Mar 24 13:46:46 EDT 2008
- Changed: smoker now maintains a cache of distributions seen during
a session to speed up skipping distributions already tested when
the smoker rechecks indices and restarts testing
- Fixed: our $SIG{INT} handler now installed *after* CPAN.pm installs its
handler so we take precedence
0.07 Mon Mar 10 08:32:50 EDT 2008
- Added: Sets title of terminal window (xterm or Win32) to indicate
current distribution being smoked (adds Term::Title as prereq)
- Changed: interrupting smoker with CTRL-C now shows what distribution
was interrupted (helpful for disabling in distroprefs)
- Changed: progress message -- added blank line before to help it stand out
and localtime() timestamp to help see how long a test has been running
(e.g is it hung?)
- Documented: how to use 'trust_test_report_history' and 'halt_on_failure'
config options from the latest dev release of CPAN.pm
- Documented: cache purge happens when indices are checked for new distros
0.06 Thu Mar 6 10:12:26 EST 2008
- Added documentation on using distroprefs to skip building and testing
certain distributions
- Edited other usage hints for clarity
0.05 Tue Feb 26 22:56:12 EST 2008
- Smoker now periodically checks for new distributions; added
"restart_delay" option (default 12 hours) to control frequency
- Added support for CPAN cache scanning on start and at each restart (if
* Tests each distribution as a separate CPAN process -- each
distribution has prerequisites like build_requires satisfied from
scratch
* Automatically checks for new distributions every twelve hours or as
otherwise specified
* Continues until interrupted with CTRL-C
* Checks CPAN.pm "distroprefs" to see if distributions should be
skipped (before handing off to CPAN)
Current limitations:
* Does not attempt to retest distributions that had reports discarded
because of prerequisites that could not be satisfied
* Does not test trial version if there is no non-trial version
WARNING -- smoke testing is risky

Bundles and mod_perl distributions will also not be tested, though
mod_perl is likely to be requested as a dependency by many modules. See
the next section for how to tell CPAN.pm not to test certain
dependencies.
Skipping additional distributions
If certain distributions hang, crash or otherwise cause trouble, you can
use CPAN's "distroprefs" system to disable them. If a distribution is
disabled, it won't be built or tested. If a distribution's dependency is
disabled, a failing test is just discarded.
The first step is configuring a directory for distroprefs files:
$ cpan
cpan> o conf init prefs_dir
cpan> o conf commit
Next, ensure that either the YAML or YAML::Syck module is installed.
(YAML::Syck is faster). Then create a file in the "prefs_dir" directory
to hold the list of distributions to disable, e.g. call it
"disabled.yml"
In that file, you can add blocks of YAML code to disable distributions.
The match criteria "distribution" is a regex that matches against the
canonical name of a distribution, e.g. "AUTHOR/Foo-Bar-3.14.tar.gz".
Here is a sample file to show you some syntax (don't actually use these,
though):

comment: "Skip distributions by Andy Lester"
match:
distribution: "^PETDANCE"
disabled: 1
Please note that disabling distributions like this will also disable
them for normal, non-smoke usage of CPAN.pm.
One distribution that I would recommend either installing up front or
else disabling with distroprefs is mod_perl, as it is a common
requirement for many Apache:: modules but does not (easily) build and
test under automation.

comment: "Don't build mod_perl if required by some other module"

Distroprefs are more powerful than this -- they can be used to automate
responses to prompts in distributions, set environment variables,
specify additional dependencies and so on. Read the docs for CPAN.pm for
more and look in the "distroprefs" directory in the CPAN distribution
tarball for examples.
Using a local CPAN::Mini mirror
Because distributions must be retrieved from a CPAN mirror, the smoker
may cause heavy network load and will repetitively download common build
prerequisites.
An alternative is to use CPAN::Mini to create a local CPAN mirror and to
point CPAN's "urllist" to the local mirror.
- try to make TTY sane (if possible) after each smoke run
- clear CPAN build cache on start?
# Low/Maybe
- if interrupted, be more helpful
- offer to send email to bug-Dist-Name@rt.cpan.org? (use Net::SMTP and
CPAN::Reporter mail host?)
- if CPAN has distroprefs, offer to auto-disable the current distro, or
at least to open distroprefs in editor?
- retest discards after some period of time
- would need CPAN::Reporter::History to keep timestamp
- or after failing deps are updated -- but how to discover what these are?
would need changes to CPAN::Reporter history logging to separately
log DISCARD with the missing dependencies
- but halt_on_failure prevents a DISCARD message, so then what?
Maybe this does need to be logged via CPAN::Reporter::Smoker
- docs: suggest that they join cpan-testers-discuss mailing list
