[gentoo-perl] Problem with g-cpan and Task::Catalyst

[gentoo-perl] Problem with g-cpan and Task::Catalyst

[Michele Beltrame]

Hello!

I'm trying to install the module Task::Catalyst (which is a bundle) 
using g-cpan. It seems this module wants to use CPANPLUS.  I get the 
following error with g-cpan:

ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /root/.cpanplus
*** You are not allowed to write to the directory '/root/.cpanplus';
     the installation may fail due to insufficient permissions.

The complete report of the error is at the bottom of this message.
I am root, so I should have the correct permissions. Morevoer, if I 
install this way:

cpan -i Task::Catalyst

that is, directly with CPAN, everything works correctly and the 
.cpanplus directory gets created with no problem.

Any idea?

	Thanks, Michele.

ideas: plenty; solutions: none atm. We get into a hairy area where
cpanplus is getting pulled in by one of the deps, probably via an
autopackage, and it has generated a bad config file for you (since it
wasn't installed interactively) which among other problems, points to
portage_tmp and /root/ for certain things. the quickest solution would
be to fire up cpanplus and reconfigure it (should have similar options
to cpan interactive in this regard) so that everything is pointing right
again, worst case hand munging the config file that got plopped into
vendor. I had thought about generating a good (patched) ebuild for
cpanplus, but time has been a bit short of late. i'm curious whether you
tried the bundle for catalyst or not - my last attempt at the everything
bundle was bullox since the bundle was missing a bundle file (silly
catalyst devs). I realize this isn't a clean solution, but it would at
least get you over the hump (hopefully).

Hello!

I'll try to reconfigure CPANPLUS this afternoon and see how it goes.

As far as the Bundle::Catalyst package, I'm not using it anymore as it 
seems to have been sort of deprecated in favour of Task::Catalyst, which 
install many more modules and avoids some of the ones  - such as 
Catalyst::Session::Fastmmap - which are now less used into Catalyst 
applications.

	Michele.

As suggested by audreyt on the Catalyst mailing list [1], you can set
the PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL environment variable to "--skipdeps" to
avoid the automatic "y" answers.

On a related note, I have many Catalyst-related ebuilds available in
my overlay [2] via anonymous SVN.  One major area I'm missing is the
authentication and authorization plugins.

I reconfigured CPANPLUS by hand, but the situation seems not to improve. 
Well actually CPANPLUS works very well if used stand-alone, i.e.:

cpanp -i Task::Catalyst

but I get the usual permission denied messages when using g-cpan.

What I did (for now) was to install the separate modules which 
Task::Catalyst depends on using g-cpan. Everything worked, even though 
it was a bit more work.

Hello Daniel!

Thank you for posting the link to your very comprehensive list of 
Catalyst-related ebuils. Besides having all this in portage, I think it 
would be quite interesting (and may help the success of catalyst) to 
have a "catalystframework" (or other name) ebuild - in portage - which 
automatically pulls in everything that Task::Catalyst does. This would 
probably make quite easy to "install&go" under Gentoo.

On a non-related note, happy New Year!

	Michele.
