Subject: Want 0.14 (a couple of extra files in the dist)
Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 08:46:44 -0400
To: bug-Want [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Peter Edwards <PEdwards [...] factset.com>
Thanks for Want 0.14, I just thought I'd point out that the files: t/._all_t ._want_xs Are in the dist I got from http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/R/RO/ROBIN/Want-0.14.tar.gz, but are not listed in the MANIFEST. Thanks again, Peter (Stig) Edwards

installation of Want 0.15 fails dmake.EXE: makefile: line 838: Error: -- A non AUGMAKE meta target must not be mixed with AUGMAKE meta targets, offending target [Want.c] C:\vanilla-perl\dmake\bin\dmake.EXE -- NOT OK It installs ok when these files are removed. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Interesting, thanks! These spurious files result from a slightly odd (and apparently undocumented) behaviour of tar on Mac OS 10.4.x: it creates these ._files to store the extended attributes (filesystem metadata) of files in the archive. I can't find an easy way to suppress them. So I shall do it a difficult way, I suppose. :-/

Subject: update this bug report for Want 0.15
FYI in the Want-0.15 distro, the spurious(?) file ._Want.xs causes nmake to fail on MSWin32. -- - - Martin 'Kingpin' Thurn

FYI I have just uploaded Want 0.16, which removes these spurious files. Robin
