You're welcome. I was aware the bad news might be too late to address before the release. I've listed below the patches that I think account for the lack of failures in blead in case any of the skips and todos seem low risk enough to integrate, but also just so folks worried about failures can see what resolved them. Perhaps this can form the basis of something to put in perldelta, as you suggest. I had hoped to do a test run after applying them all by hand, but just haven't gotten a round tuit. > > > [-.ext.Devel.PPPort.t]ppphtest.t........FAILED 2-8 11-14 17 #26913 (though that might require a later version of Devel::PPPort than what you've got in maint) > ... > > [-.ext.List.Util.t]p_tainted.t..........FAILED ?? #26912 (dunno what version of List::Util is involved) > > [-.lib.ExtUtils.t]PL_FILES.t............FAILED 3-7 >> [-.lib.ExtUtils.t]basic.t...............FAILED 67 69 71 74 #26813 (VMS-only MakeMaker changes; definitely not available in a released MakeMaker yet) > > [-.lib.File]Copy.t......................FAILED 20 #26396 (a VMS-only TODO) > > io/crlf_through.t.......................FAILED 4-6 13-14 17 #26857 (VMS-only skip) > > io/fs.t.................................FAILED 5 possibly 25951, though I'm not sure > > io/through.t............................FAILED 4-6 13-14 17 #26857 (VMS-only skip) > > op/cmp.t................................FAILED 43-7854 Don't know -- the test itself hasn't changed in years. > > op/goto.t...............................FAILED 53-54 #26396 (small test tweak) > > pod/pod2usage2.t........................FAILED 2-3 5-13 15 #26710 (adding VMS to the skip already there for Win32) >Whilst I'm aware that these are all fixed now in blead, I don't know the >minimal set of specific changes needed to integrate to fix them, and in >turn whether they have dependencies on things I didn't want to integrate >yet, such as the exit handling macros, or updates to dual life modules not >yet released to CPAN. > >On the assumption that not all can be fixed with small, VMS specific changes >(and that I don't have the knowledge to work out what those small changes >would be) I feel that I'd prefer to ship 5.8.8 with an note in the perldelta >that VMS is failing tests, and get everything fixed up for 5.8.9. Yes, I think we have plenty to do for 5.8.9, and I agree that kicking 5.8.8 out the door without further delay is in everyone's best interest. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
