The Astro::FITS::Header is listed as a prerequisite but
we don't fail the build process if it is not there. The
intended fix for the hyper-warnings was already in the
code but needed a "use PDL::Config{FITS_LEGACY};"
in FITS.pm to work.
This is the PDL_CONFIG_FITS_WARN functionality but
with a different name. Right now, FITS_LEGACY is set
to 1 in perldl.conf by default. We could redo the build
to temporarily enable warnings for the perl Makefile.PL
and re-enable afterwards for quieter test output.
Right now, the latest cvs rel_2_4_3_final2 includes
that fix. I tried uploading the PDL-2.4.3.tar.gz to
the sf.net patches page but I think there is a file
size/type limit. As a result, a sf.net admin will need to
- cvs checkout -r rel_2_4_3_final2
- perl Makefile.PL
- make disttest #one last check
- make tardist #make the tar.gz file for release
And then put the resulting file up on sf.net for release
with a release announcement.
Ditto for CPAN with that file.
Follow with a slashdot announcement.
If there is something else I can help with, please let me
know.
