Summary: perl-Pugs-Compiler-Rule
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: low
         Component: perl-Pugs-Compiler-Rule
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
         QAContact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail], [e-mail]
    Classification: Fedora

Description of problem:
perl-Pugs-Compiler-Rule fails to build in rawhide.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Pugs-Compiler-Rule-0.37-5.fc14

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rebuild the package

Actual results:
Fails to build.

Expected results:
Success.

Additional info:
* Apparently this package is incompatible to perl-5.12 and can't be built
against it.
* Its upstream appears dead.

This package needs to be made working or it will have to be removed from 
Fedora >= 14. AFAICT, this package is not used by Fedora itself, so it's
probably safe to remove it.

This should be simple to fix. It's only t/ast/00-basic.t that is failing due to
different indentation of Data::Dumper. And as a bonus, when it fails, it writes
out a new t/ast/00-basic.t_ file with the correct indentation.

make test # fails
diff -b t/ast/00-basic.t t/ast/00-basic.t_ # no difference
mv -f t/ast/00-basic.t_ t/ast/00-basic.t
make test # succeeds

Checking test results on CPAN, results on different perl versions, checking
source code show the problem is more mysterious.

More ever adding some debugging prints into the test one can see Data::Dumper
treat local hashes and AST hashes in different manner.

In addition if we patch the tests, it will start failing on lower perls.

Openly said, I don't see much sense in trying to "fix" this package.

It's not used by Fedora, its upstream build-matrix 
(http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Pugs-Compiler-Rule+0.37)
also speaks a very clear language.

My vote goes to "let this package die".

Certainly, bleadperl is throwing up more problems.

Just more indentation differences? Or really different?

Not too much of a problem for us. Either patch the tests only in f14+, or
better, simply do something like:

make test \
|| diff -qb t/ast/00-basic.t{,_} \
&& mv -f t/ast/00-basic.t{_,} \
&& make test

At the minute, the package itself doesn't seem to be broken - only its tests
fail for an understandable reason.

Think of the DarkPAN!

That its test fail - but we can see why.

I don't really mind either way. Just playing devil's advocate. But according to
rel-eng, Steve needs to kill it, not you (or us).

Just indentation. Different number of spaces before hash keys and closing
bracket. (If I recall properly.).

I removed the test. Mainly because I haven't permission to remove this package
from distro.

Please no. What are you trying to achieve? Playing down this package's
brokenness? This is not helpful.

Rel-eng made very clear that they want to cope with this package.

REOPENING.
