Bug #105595 for switchman: Use Sys::Info::Device::CPU instead of Sys::CPU?

Subject:

Use Sys::Info::Device::CPU instead of Sys::CPU?

Sys::Info::Device::CPU seems to have better cross platform support than Sys::CPU --- compare http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Sys-Info-Base+0.7804 and http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Sys-CPU+0.61

Taking into account such a matrix for Net::ZooKeeper [1], I'm not sure how valuable would the change be. I would rather see those dependencies made optional (required only if a lease of a particular type is used), but I haven't planned to actually work on it yet. Do you have a use-case for a specific platform? If yes and Sys::CPU is the show-stopper, let's look into this. Best regards, Oleg [1] http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Net-ZooKeeper+0.38

The non-presence of PASS reports here has other reasons --- most CPAN Testers don't have zookeeper installed at all. I'll fix this for my freebsd smoker --- the first PASS reports for freebsd are already visible on the "fast" matrix view: http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Net-ZooKeeper%200.41 On the other hand, the Sys::CPU failures are build failures which are not caused by missing dependencies. Given that there are already patches for the problematic platforms at https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=Sys-CPU it just seems that Sys::CPU is unmaintained these days, in contrast to Sys::Info::Device::CPU.
