Bug #25327 for CPANPLUS: do not count as FAIL modules where prereqs are not filled

Subject:

do not count as FAIL modules where prereqs are not filled

I received this result, and a few more like it: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/03/msg430613.html Mail-Audit-Razor depends on Razor::* modules, which are not available on the CPAN. CPANPLUS notes that it wants them, then does not install them, then issues a failure due to undeclared prerequisites. I would like to believe that maybe the bug is due to the requried version, 0, being a false value. Either way, it's a bug. This should be reported as NA. -- rjbs

I can't find an example easily, but it has also happened that I've gotten FAIL reports when module X 2.0 is required and only 1.5 is found. The tests then fail, unsurprisingly, and it is reported as a FAIL instead of an NA. -- rjbs

Here is an example: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/02/msg412060.html Specifically: [ERROR] [Thu Feb 8 07:47:43 2007] This distribution depends on Email::Simple, but the latest version of Email::Simple on CPAN (1.996) doesn't satisfy the specific version dependency (1.998). You may have to resolve this dependency manually.

I've just commited a patch that sends an NA grade in the following two cases: * A test fails and one of the prerequisites installed does not have the minimum specified version * A test fails and one of the prerequisites can not be found on CPAN I think this takes care of both scenarios. This fix will be in the next (beta) release. Thanks for reporting. -- Jos
