Subject:

Fails mostly on cpantesters since 2014-10

The few pass results in 2015 are all from non-debianlike systems because the relevant test t/copy/fail.t is skipped there. Sample fail report: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/46342875 One of the last pass reports: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/46234116 HTH&&Thanks, (Disclaimer: this was discovered by statistical analysis, I'm not speaking as a user)

Rest assured, I'm aware of this unfortunate situation (I'm reading RSS of cpantesters for six years now, each evening) -- upstream's moves were surprise, I wasn't pessimistic engough about them. I understand nature of failures in t/copy/fail.t, rest assured, it will be taken care of asap (disclaimer: unless I'll die before). Apparently, that 'asap' isn't going to happen anytime soon. *SKIP* Show quoted text

I think, there's nobody I owe an explanation, but I totally owe you an apology for this mess. I'm sorry. p.s. And I apologize for the delay too -- looks like I can't manage RT with emails. No surprise though.
