I started the smoker and it builds and tests like crazy. I've set the mailserver on localhost to queue all the mails and what I am missing right now are the mails. First, look at ~/.cpanreporter/reports-sent.db. That has CPAN::Reporter's record of distributions tested. If you see lots of things there and nothing in your mail queue, then it's possibly an issue with the mailer. Check your mailer logs for inbound connections. It created 2 mails about my environment so far - but nothing more. When will all the mails be sent? When will the reports be generated? Does it take a full build of all the modules to create something like a report? Reports are sent after each distribution is tested, unless a similar report has already been sent. Either way, the CPAN shell output that goes scrolling by will indicate whether a report was sent or not. The documentation inside the wiki lacks a basic workflow overview - what happens when. I'll provide it when I understood the mechanism. The manpages/pod documentation is very short and basically describes what the module does internally.

SOLVED [Was: Re: Initial setup - basically how to get started, workflows, etc.]
Help me understand what you mean by workflow and I may be able to point you to more details that will help you write it up. Thanks for your help everyone, it works. I've sent my first report. The problem was a misconfigured MTA, sorry for the noise. Btw, great support on the irc channel, too. Uli

That sounds weird - do you mean the actual version.pm, or M::B::Version.pm ? M::B doesn't install the former. I mean version.pm. In version.pm's Build.PL the function have_c_compiler() is used to decide whether the version.pm's XS part should be built and installed or not. Unfortunately have_c_compiler() does not only check if a C compiler is available, it also checks if ExtUtils::CBuilder is already installed. My assumption is that in the smoker run version.pm was installed twice, first time without ExtUtils::CBuilder available (and hence installed into the arch-independent location) and the 2nd time with ExtUtils::CBuilder installed in the meantime. It makes me somewhat nervous to know that modules gets installed at different locations (site vs. core, or arch-dependent vs. arch-independent). One never knows which location will win.
