Now OSDC.AU is over for another year, my focus turns back to getting unfinished projects over the line.
In the firing line (other than ongoing Strawberry Perl stuff) is my the repository manager, and firming up the dependency list and installation process for it.
Key here is relatively unreliable CGI::Capture, which is failing tests when a large TERMCAP environment value is set. But I can't replicate it myself.
If someone has a TERMCAP value longer than 100 characters I would greatly appreciate a Data::Dumper dump of it, so I can get to the bottom of the problem.
In CCAN news, kernel dev Rusty Russel is working on the CCAN.
He has already heavily bug-fixed abd refactored libtap, the C implementation of TAP/Test::More, as the testing mechanism for "CCAN Distribution" is one area in which the direction to proceed seems relatively clear. By using a
I believe he also intends to Debian'ify libtap at some point.
Some things are less clear, and will require more discussion.
Things like cross-compilation and what it is exactly that CCAN will hold (libs? includes? utility stuff?)
To this end, Rusty and OZLABS has set up a mailing list for CCAN discussion.
