Bug #19930 for FEAR-API: IPC::SysV dependency

Subject:

IPC::SysV dependency

Is the dependency upon IPC::SysV really necessary? The module is completely unbuildable.

1. IPC::SysV is not really necessary from now on. It is included because of pfetch(). And I'm considering to remove this method in the future. pfetch() can be replaced by prefetching mechanism based on either pure Perl or Larbin. 2. About building the module, please refer to this review: http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/FEAR-API Best, Yung-chung Lin

Yung-chung, After reading an introductory article on www.perl.com I got interested in building it under Windows. My approach was to run perl Makefile.PL to see dependencies, then to use ActiveState's PPM utility to install what I can from PPM repositories, and then use CPAN for remaining dependencies as suggested by Makefile.PL Well, with an exception of that IPC::SysV module, all other modules seemed to install well. Now, how do I force cpan command line utility to correctly install just your FEAR::API module without installing a bunch of other modules, aparently needed by IPC::SysV? Thanks, Avik Topchyan

cpan> force install FEAR::API

And, yes, there are so many crufts with FEAR::API right now. They will be fixed very soon. And thank you for you interest in FEAR::API. Best, Yung-chung Lin 2006/6/23, Guest via RT <bug-FEAR-API@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text

Hi, I have removed pfetch() and the dependency on IPC::SysV. pfetch()'s functionality is replaced by prefetching mechanism. Please see CPAN for the latest release. Thank you. Best, Yung-chung Lin 2006/6/16, Guest via RT <bug-FEAR-API@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text
