Re: MARC::XML failing on CPAN testers
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Jakob, MARC::XML is heavily failing on CPAN Tester: http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/M/MARC-XML.html My PICA::Record module is failing for the same reason (XML Namespace support for XML::SAX). I don't know how to fix this, so I asked here: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=948311 Maybe someone here knows better? Sure. I had similar issues in the past when starting to request a namespace-aware parser from the factory (in order to do it right i.e. I wanted to avoid failing tests because of hypothetical inappropriate parsers). IIRC the situation is as follows: - - In absence of ParserDetails.ini XML::SAX falls back to providing XML::SAX::PurePerl *only* when the parser has been requested without specific properties. - - ParserDetails.ini is *not* set up on automated / unattended installs of XML::SAX (like when a smoke tester's environment pulls it in as dependency of your module) Unfortunately I have no clue about this might be fixed (apart from changing the installation behavior of XML::SAX which might for a reason be as it is) HTH Thomas Berger -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iJwEAQECAAYFAk8VdwwACgkQYhMlmJ6W47NI6AP8CsnBFuJRrA8YwLmgfemH8btK rKJl3bKeTZmCr8JEcEWP4qNgZUSsNN7k245Rez7HtvI5wf2Ki0Z/s5pMcn43Kuel m5Nu5ch2AsbcXG9UyErqObGKeu10SYiW3Qy9ryJ/dGql2RmbgEY6M3O86Vms/GT8 MaBWgClWgWXjnuGxsUE= =Gxh7 -END PGP SIGNATURE-
MARC::Lint and Errorchecks updated on CPAN
I've posted updated versions to CPAN of MARC::Lint (v. 1.43) and MARC::Errorchecks (v. 1.13). I've also uploaded new versions of MARC::Lintadditions (v. 1.12) and a stand-alone copy of MARC-Lint-CodeData (v. 1.18) to my personal home page [1]. Note: MARC::Lintadditions is provided as a stand-alone module and must be installed manually (copy the .pm to the MARC:: folder, next to Lint, Record, Errorchecks, etc.). I still hope to integrate most of its checks into MARC::Lint, but progress so far has been rather slow due to other projects. Other notes: The version of MARC::Lint::CodeData provided with Lint and Errorchecks should be identical. I've experienced difficulty installing both modules through PPM on Windows, perhaps due to CodeData being included with both modules. Changes for each appear below: MARC::Lint: 1.43Wed October 3 19:36:00 CDT 2007 [THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE] - Updated Lint::DATA section with Update No. 7 (Oct. 2006) - MARC::Lint is incompatibile with Business::ISBN versions 2.00-2.02_01. Business::ISBN versions below 2 and 2.02_02 or above should work. - Updated check_record's treatment of 880 fields. Now if the tagno is 880, check_record attempts to look at subfield 6 for the linked tagno and uses that as the basis for the tagno to be checked. - Updated _check_article to account for 880, using subfield 6 linked tagno instead. - Updated _check_article to account for articles followed parentheses, apostrophes and/or quotes. Also related bug fixes for counting punctuation around the article. - For subfield 6, it should always be the 1st subfield according to MARC 21 specifications, so check_245 has been updated to account for subfield 6 being 1st, rather than requiring subfield a to be 1st. - Added new test, test880and6.t for 880 field and for subfield 6. - Added TODO concerning subfield 9. This subfield is not officially allowed in MARC, since it is locally defined. Some way needs to be made to allow messages/warnings about this subfield to be turned off. - Added TODO concerning subfield 8. This subfield could be the 1st or 2nd subfield, so the code that checks for the 1st few subfields (check_245, check_250) should take that into account. - Updated MARC::Lint::CodeData with most recent version. ### MARC::Errorchecks: Version 1.13: Updated Aug. 26, 2007. Released Oct. 3, 2007. -Uncommented valid MARC 21 leader values in %ldrbytes to remove local practice. Libraries wishing to restrict leader values should comment out individual bytes to enable errors when an unwanted value is encountered. -Added ldrvalidate.t.pl and ldrvalidate.t tests. -Includes version 1.18 of MARC::Lint::CodeData. ### MARC::Lintadditions: Version 1.12: Updated Mar. 1-Aug 26, 2007. Released Oct. 3, 2007. -Updated check_042 with new code, ukblderived, from Technical Notice for Aug. 13, 2007. -Updated check_042 with new code, scipio, from Technical Notice for Mar. 1, 2007. -Updated check_xxx methods (check_250) to account for subfield '6' as 1st subfield. ### MARC::Lint::CodeData.pm: Versions 1.15 to 1.18: Updated Feb. 28, 2007-Aug. 14, 2007. -Added new source codes from Technical Notice of Aug. 13, 2007. -Added new source codes from Technical Notice of July 13, 2007. -Added new source codes from Technical Notice of Apr. 5, 2007. -Added new country and geographic codes from Technical Notice of Feb. 28, 2007. -Added 'yu ' to list of obsolete codes. ### [1] http://home.inwave.com/eija/bryanmodules/ Please let me know of any problems, corrections, or suggestions.

MARC-XML-0.86.tar.gz Uploaded to CPAN
Hi folks, After some gentle prodding from Mike, I updated CPAN to version MARC-XML-0.86.tar.gz and sourceforge with the new version string. Next chance I get I'll have a look at that test suite I posted and see if I can't break it down into more discrete tests that are easier to read so we can begin working on solutions to some of the encoding issues people are having.

Re: MARC::Record on CPAN
I was wondering if you have any interest in releasing a new version of MARC::Record [1] to CPAN from CVS on SourceForge [2]. There hasn't been a release since Dec 2004 but development has continued afoot since then. The reason I ask is that the Evergreen people [3] have spent the last 2 years building an open source ILS for the State of Georgia [4] and they are dependent on some functionality that is in the CVS trunk. Their install process is a bit stymied because the M::R on CPAN is way out of date. I also get routine emails from M::R users around the world who don't understand why the latest/greatest isn't on CPAN. Hopefully I am not butting into an existing conversation here. I thought as others were voicing their support for updating the cpan M::R module, I would add my support as well. It's not just large projects such as Koha or Evergreen who find these modules useful. We here at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found these modules extremely useful for smaller projects as well. I've used it several times for small, one-off projects as well as larger ones. This is also a particularity key time to have the latest and greatest available via cpan. Some of the features, such as better utf8 support, are sorely needed. Recently Urbana-Champaign has just upgraded it's Integrated Library System (ILS), allowing far better unicode support than before. Unfortunately, there are not many (software) libraries can handle these features. In addition, the library world is increasingly seeing the value in experimentation and there is a need for good tools to support these efforts. The current module is a lifesaver and I'm grateful to people like Andy Lester, Mike O'Regan, Ed Summers and Brian Cassidy and the others who have made the module the excellent tool it already is. It would be great to ensure that it doesn't languish at this crucial time. ps. I'm not sending this email in any official capacity of the University of Illinois or speaking for it in anyway. Just speaking as an interested developer who uses it in his daily work. Jonathan T.

Re: installing from MARC-Lint or Errorchecks from CPAN
...and what that means is that CPAN was only able to find MARC-Errorchecks as a match for /MARC::Lint/, not because it supplies that module, but because it itself contains MARC::Lint::CodeData. Installing/upgrading MARC-Errorchecks will not get you the freshest MARC::Lint. I'm no expert in CPAN packaging either, unfortunately. This is not typical behavior, though.

Re: installing from MARC-Lint or Errorchecks from CPAN
When I downloaded the tarball and installed manually I noticed that the the MANIFEST references a META.yml file, but the tarball doesn't include one. Perhaps this is somehow choking up CPAN? The 'make dist' command should generate a META.yml file for you. I would ask on the cpan-discuss [1] list to see if you can get any guidance from the CPAN admins though. It might be totally unrelated to META.yml. //Ed [1] http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=cpan-discuss

Version 0.05 of MARC::File::MARCMaker has been released to CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/~eijabb/MARC-File-MARCMaker-0.05/). It has no internal changes from version 0.04, previously mentioned as being uploaded to SourceForge, but is simply a version update for initial CPAN release.
