Bug#592506: Test::Harness 3.22

2010-09-09 Thread Andy Armstrong
Build.PL was renamed NotBuild.PL to avoid circular dependency upgrade problems - Module::Build and Test::Harness have are mutually dependent on each other. I'm not sure I follow the reasoning for not going to 3.22 but then I don't fully understand Debian's criteria for package inclusion :) O

Adam, My conclusion is that in test the package should be rolled back to 3.17. Do you agree and if not why not? My reasoning is that attempting to do a patch is the most risky action since it would require unwinding most of the 3.21->3.22 transition which was a large one. In such a cont

2010-08-23 Thread Nicholas Bamber
Okay a sleepless might so I have some conclusions. First of all any patched version needs to be based off 3.21 not 3.20 because the jump from 3.20 to 3.21 is really small and only affects test files. I extracted patch files for the suggested git commits. The total line count is 492 though I

I am digging deeper but apart from confirming that the issues are real and fixed by 3.22 I have not got anything yet. I am trying to build what a patched 3.21 would be and get a more informed opinion but the required patch does look big to me. gregor herrmann wrote: On Sat, 21 Aug 2010 15:0
