Bug #51646 for CPANPLUS: Dependencies on e.g. Log::Message are not stated in META.yml

Wed Nov 18 09:05:02 2009 NPW [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Dependencies on e.g. Log::Message are not stated in META.yml

Hello, I noticed that Log::Message is at least one dependency CPANPLUS which is not stated in the META.yml file (which actually doesn't list any dependencies). A quick grep of the source code in blib/ comes up with these candidates, which off the top of my head aren't core modules, and so may warrant optional or mandatory prerequisites: Archive::Extract Cwd DBD::SQLite DBIx::Simple File::Basename File::Fetch File::Spec File::Temp IPC::Cmd Locale::Maketext::Simple Log::Message Module::Load Module::Loaded Object::Accessor Package::Constants Params::Check Parse::CPAN::Meta Term::ReadLine Term::UI Test Time::Local Additionally, the code also contains an explicit dependency on Perl 5.006001. I haven't looked in t/ or elsewhere.

There is already a ticket open regarding the META.yml https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=30465 I had a brief chat with Jos about it as well: [16:39] <@BinGOs> kane: did you see the other ticket regarding CPANPLUS' META.yml file ? [16:39] <@kane> yeah, we've answered that before [16:40] <@kane> cpanplus has dynamic dependencies, so stating them in meta.yml is wrong (cpan.pm used to take it as authoritative) [16:40] <@kane> if that's changed, we can consider it, but otherwise, breakage occurs Cheers.

dynamic_config has been set to 1 in the META.yml, to explicitly state that prereqs are dynamically generated. http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.3.html#dynamic_config Many thanks.
