| Subject: | No Default Installtion of Module::Build |
Dear Aukjan van Belkum,
Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I'm current acting as a CPAN
tester and running tests for all the uploaded CPAN packages daily.
It seems that your LSF-Hosts-0.01 requires the installation of
Module::Build, and default to "y" for install. It prevents CPAN testers
from running automated tests.
As a CPAN tester testing 40-50 modules per day, I really cannot test
every package and check their input alone. We are running tests without
STDIN input. Also, as a CPAN tester we really cannot afford installing
all the prerequisites onto our system automatically, because unknown
packages may contain bugs or other security issues that can compromise
our system.
As a result, your LSF-Hosts-0.01 default to run
CPAN->install('Module::Build') will always fail, enter an endless loop
trying to install Module::Build, use up all my CPU and system resources
that I can contribute to other packages that need more tests.
Could you please help solving this issue, by not using
CPAN->install('Module::Build')? You may provide a Makefile.PL of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker. It is really very simple. You may refer to the
example of my own module:
http://search.cpan.org/src/IMACAT/Locale-Maketext-Gettext-1.18/Makefile.PL
Thank you very much. You are greatly appreciated by the large CPAN
family.
