Bug #84533 for File-Temp: Recursive dependency on Module::Build

Tue Apr 09 11:30:57 2013 kwilliams [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Recursive dependency on Module::Build

See also https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=84531 . Since the new release of File::Temp depends on Module::Build as its only installation mechanism, and since Module::Build depends on CPAN::Meta which depends on File::Temp, there's a recursive dependency that can't be resolved. I would suggest switching File::Temp over to Dist::Zilla - most of the stuff in your Build.PL can be done at packaging time rather than at the user's build time, and then the user has the choice of Module::Build or ExtUtils::MakeMaker for installation. In addition, Dist::Zilla is really fun to use, it takes a lot of the maintenance work of a dist away. =)

I have no idea how to use Dist::Zilla. I looked at it once and it took an hour to install all the files. Maybe the easiest thing is to revert to Makefile.PL.

Tim, I'm a heavy dzil user, so if you want me to take over doing releases, I'd be happy to do the work to convert it over. There's a nice plugin for dual-life modules that Florian Ragwitz, wrote, too. :-) David On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 11:45 AM, TJENNESS via RT <bug-File-Temp@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

That's certainly true. It depends on all of CPAN and then some. It's a nice friend once it unpacks all its luggage though.

Ok, so long as I can build from a checkout without requiring Dist::Zilla to be installed.

When you say "build" do you really mean "install" or is running "prove" against the tests enough for you? On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 12:03 PM, TJENNESS via RT <bug-File-Temp@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

I mean install. I tend to install it from the repo without using CPAN. Don't worry about it. I'll just have to install from CPAN or install Dist::Zilla.

OK. I'll try to fix it and cut a release at the airport on the way to the hackathon. If not tonight, then tomorrow when I'm in the UK and have wifi. David On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 12:18 PM, TJENNESS via RT <bug-File-Temp@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text
