CPAN Testers 2.0 end-February update and next steps

By dagolden | Published: March 7, 2010

It’s never great to post an “end-February” report a week into March, but that’s how things are going lately. I’ve been busy with family and work obligations that have meant less CT2.0 hacking. I’m sorry this is coming late, but I hope I will give anyone interested a sense of where things stand.
I [...]

CPAN Testers 2.0: Interim milestone

By dagolden | Published: February 22, 2010

This is just a quick note to say that I’ve successfully configured a test CT2.0 server hosted entirely on Amazon Web Services. I’ve also successfully sent test reports to it from my regular CPAN::Reporter client using Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase. It’s the first end-to-end test of the target architecture for CT2.0.
There are some tweaks I need [...]

CPAN Testers 2.0 mid-February update

By dagolden | Published: February 15, 2010

February is a short month and the last couple weeks have flown by. Since my last update, there have been a couple of significant milestones that bring us closer to CT2.0:

I successfully created a test Metabase backed by Amazon S3+SimpleDB and have created, retrieved and deleted some user profile facts. This built on some [...]

CPAN Testers 2.0 end-January update

By dagolden | Published: February 4, 2010

The bad news is that we’re still about two weeks behind schedule. The good news is that we’re not falling further behind and in some areas, we’re already ahead.
As I wrote in the last update, a number of my early-January tasks for revising the Metabase libraries didn’t get done and were blocking progress on other [...]

CPAN Testers 2.0 mid-January update

By dagolden | Published: January 18, 2010

I’ve been underwater for the last week or so as I became the pumpking-designated person for getting version numbers sorted out for the Perl 5.12 code freeze. I hope to play some catch up this week on tasks I’m behind on — paying work and family permitting.
CPAN Testers 2.0 activity in the last couple [...]

Project plan for CPAN Testers 2.0 migration

By dagolden | Published: January 3, 2010

I’ve spent a good deal of time brainstorming ideas for migrating to CPAN Testers 2.0 (CT2.0) and then paring down what I came up with to the barest minimum I think is necessary to migrate CPAN Testers off email/NNTP and still build a foundation for the future. This has been frustrating to spend a [...]

Good, fast or cheap — pick again

By dagolden | Published: December 28, 2009

I’m not sure when exactly I started thinking about new infrastructure for CPAN Testers, but it might have been a couple years ago around the time I released CPAN::Reporter 1.0. That was when I decided that Net::SMTP needed to be the default “transport” option, to avoid problems people were already having with local report [...]

Metabase: Opinions from anyone about anything

By dagolden | Published: June 25, 2009

Explaining Metabase
At YAPC::NA, Ricardo and I finally released some early alpha Metabase modules to CPAN. Metabase is a project we started in 2008 at the Oslo QA Hackathon to provide a new transport and storage infrastructure for CPAN Testers and other CPAN distribution metadata. We’ve been working out of github until now, but [...]

Belated Perl QA hackathon progress report

By dagolden | Published: April 29, 2009

Nearly a month ago, I got back from this year’s QA hackathon in Birmingham, UK. This is a little late for my summary, so I’ll also write a bit about progress since the hackathon. This year my work focused on CPAN Testers, the related Metabase framework, and MYMETA.yml support for the toolchain.
First, I’d like [...]
