We periodically have authors complain that they don't want any reports
or don't want certain modules tested. I think I've seen that various
smoke testers maintain their own custom skip logic. Would it make
sense to agree on a file format and put a joint list in some joint
subversion repository?
E.g.
# cpan-testers.skipfile.yml
authors:
- CRANKY
- UNCLE
dists:
- Acme-.*
- Ancient-Distro-Shouldnt-Be-Tested
It we put it somewhere with easy access for CPAN authors, then we
could maintain it jointly or authors could add themselves to it, etc.
I was thinking of Alias' open repository as a reasonable place to put
it since he hands out access pretty freely to CPAN authors (based on
their CPAN author ID).
What do people think?
