So now I have a permanent note of "FAIL" in the records because your automated bot ran out of drive space. I can't put into words how much I appreciate that.

I think you're taking this a bit too seriously here. It's a bit annoying, but not a disaster.

I didn't say it was a disaster.


That'd sort of defeat the purpose of having automated bot, wouldn't it? I suspect that if someone is using a bot to test a large swath of CPAN, they'd get a fair number of failures, too many for them to review by hand.

Such is the nature of that responsibility if they're going to add it to the database of failures, and tell me "Hey, something is wrong." It's bad enough I'm getting scolded for failures on 5.6.1, a platform about which I do not give Shit One.


What would be handy is a way to mark the report as invalid in the cpan testers database so it stops showing up as a failure. Then authors could ask testers to update these reports if they think the failure is bogus (as it obviously was in the case you're responding to).


Even better is I'd prefer some way to opt-out of the various smokebot services.

So let me ask this, SREZIC: How about a quick 'n' easy way to say "Thanks, but no thanks"?

xoa
