[gentoo-dev] g-cpan

[gentoo-dev] g-cpan

[Benny Pedersen]

i like to use g-cpan more, but as lately it seems not to be so much stable
with latest portage :/

my question is how to make a bug on it or even if its worth doing it, is
there a better proper way of make cpan modules into ebuilds as it was one
time ?

I've just taken to DIYing it and making them suitable enough to go into the
overlay.

 http://gist.github.com/126197 , I tend to run that, then just work out the
depends by reading upstreams Makefile.PL /Meta.yaml .

Feel free to adjust to your liking.

Probably sounds a bit archaic, but I've gotten used to it, g-cpan and
everything else that's existed seemed to explode too often for my liking.

dependse on Moose

it worked before, but not much perl in gentoo is any longer maintained :/

hope this will change to the better, i am still at gentoo, but if devs run
away from it to deb/rpm systems then i have to also :/

g-cpan -g Mail::SPF

succes ?

All other deps should be in there already.
( cant remember if -X functions can be chained or not in 5.8.8 )

If you aren't using Moose yet, you might want to look into it.  ( </Plug> )

It worked for me, .. for a time, then I tired of how it worked.

Citation needed. modules are updated on average in gentoo the same week as
they come out.

What gives you that idea? The perl herd is probably one of the least
often outdated packages of all of Gentoo, because of the ease of trivial
bumps.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/outdated-cpan-packages.xml
Updated every 6 hours if there are changes in upstream CPAN.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/outdated-cpan-packages-perl-experimental.xml
Updated irregularly, but often.

http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/scripts/perl-bump-0.5.sh
Tool for bumping Perl packages, not perfect, but works 99% of the time.

This is one of those cases where upstream's version numbering never made
g-cpan work in the first place.

The generated ebuilds needed the following added:
MY_P="${PN}-v${PV}"
S="${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}"

I generated the ebuilds with my copy of g-cpan, available here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/scripts/g-cpan-robbat2-20090609
And they are committed now too.

File a bug if there is something wrong - however it's not broken for me
at the moment.

It just goes to perl@gentoo.org.  AFAIK when I last asked, g-cpan didn't
have an actual maintainer.

I strongly suggest my patch from bug 239217 if you use it lots. My
personal copy has probably diverged a fair bit from the latest ebuild.
