I noticed that a new step, auto::digest, has been added to the list of Parrot configuration steps. Two issues: 1. The commit message suggests that this is a refactoring of code previously found elsewhere in the configuration system: r27060 | fperrad | 2008-04-20 15:26:38 -0400 (Sun, 20 Apr 2008) | 2 lines [digest]- refactor digest PMC generation (now a config/gen step) However, when I grep config/*/*.pm for 'digest', the only mention I get (other than in config/gen/digest.pm itself) is here: config/auto/crypto.pm:68: $conf->data->set( has_crypto => $has_crypto ); # for dynpmc.in & digest.t So I don't see where the code was refactored from, and I don't understand the rationale for the addition of this step. 2. When I now configure with 'perl Configure.pl --test', I get this warning, both at the start of configuration and in t/configure/025- options_test.t andn t/configure/049-options_test.t: No tests exist for configure step gen::digest at Configure.pl line 14 ... which means we've added a configuration step class with no corresponding tests. (Until yesterday, configuration would have simply died at this point, but I acknowledged a request to have it just generate a warning instead.) The test file could be as simple as a two-test file, with one test saying use_ok the new step and another saying 'pass'. Thank you very much. kid51
