Automatically ignoring will not help finding the bug that is triggered in Nigel's setup. I think it is worthwhile to report when Nigel's smoker start acting up. I'd also find it worthwhile that Nigel stops his smokers when it happens and reports at least to me, as the author of CPAN.pm, what happened in his environment, so that we can figure out how to prevent it or at least to shut down the smoker automatically. My impression is that Nigel's smokers have been running fine for a long time, but at least the solaris one is now acting up in weird ways. I just found this one: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/4d53df1a-2c66-11ea-abbc-55fa4b49479c It is an "unknown" that reports during t/00-report-prereqs.t that Package::DeprecationManager 0.17 is installed. It goes on the run a zillion tests OK. But all of a sudden it does not find Package::DeprecationManager anymore. It also can't locate Moose anymore. As if somebody had removed the whole directory in which the test was running. Nigel, please stop this and maybe other smokers and help find out the root cause. I'm sorry that this happens, I can imagine that the bug is entirely mine, but I don't know what it is and how to fix it. I need your input and your intuition to pinpoint the bug. Thank you! -- andreas
