Re: Failed: PAUSE indexer report KMCGRAIL/SpamAssassin/ Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.0.tar.gz

Thanks David, I believe it should be fixed and we'll move towards a 3.4.1 fix soon to resolve it with some decent finality: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7008 regards, KAM On 2/11/2014 4:19 PM, David Golden wrote: On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 3:40 PM, Kevin A.

I can look at changing that for 3.4.1 but SA 3.4.0 is effectively a released artifact at this point so it sounds like we'll need a 3.4.1 release to handle this.  I've been handling the release all day and night now so I'm running on empty.  With the eval above, how would you recommend implementing it because I don't know the C<< syntax you are showing.  This is the current block.  A little direction would help a lot! Sorry.  That was POD code quoting, which I use occasionally in email.  I mean this:     unless ( eval { HTML::Parser->VERSION(3.46) } ) {         ...     } The VERSION method (see "perldoc UNIVERSAL") with an argument is an assertion so it needs to be wrapped with eval. Finally, could you tell me more for a second about the real world impact of this indexing issue?  From a CPAN lay-perspective, I was able to run cpan and do install Mail-SpamAssassin and things appear to have worked.  http://search.cpan.org/~kmcgrail/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.0/ also looks ok. As long as "Mail::SpamAssassin" was indexed, then people can install it.  The things that failed to index did not get updated. So, for example, compare these index entries:     Mail::SpamAssassin             3.004000  K/KM/KMCGRAIL/SpamAssassin/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.4.0.tar.gz     Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf          bogus  K/KM/KMCGRAIL/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.3.2.tar.gz Should some crazy person do "cpan Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" they would get the 3.3.2 tarball. Realistically, you probably don't need to care. David   -- David Golden <x...@xdg.me> Take back your inbox! → http://www.bunchmail.com/ Twitter/IRC: @xdg -- Kevin A.
