Love/Hate Relationship with CPAN Testers
[ERROR] [Fri Dec 22 08:47:44 2006] This distribution depends on Handel, but the latest version of Handel on CPAN (0.33) doesn't satisfy the specific version dependency (1.0). You may have to resolve this dependency manually.
Then later:

Sigh. If the prereq is 1.0, and there is no 1.0, why in the fsck is it trying to use 0.33? Just bail damnit. Don't go on installing a version that is fails the prereq version check. Same deal for this:
[ERROR] [Fri Dec 22 08:47:44 2006] This distribution depends on Rose::DB, but the latest version of Rose::DB on CPAN (0.731) doesn't satisfy the specific version dependency (0.732). You may have to resolve this dependency manually.
[MSG] [Fri Dec 22 08:47:44 2006] Module 'Handel::Storage::RDBO' requires 'Rose::DB' version '0.732' to be installed
Yet, it continues to install a lesser version. Heavy sigh. I wish there were a way to nuke these kinds of things from CPAN Testers all together.
an endless discussion thread about what features to include.

Not necesarily CPAN Testers (Score:1)
Of course, another problem is that you can't simply require every single tester to upgrade, because we miss testing cases.
I just wished it worked, period. (Score:1)
So... as far as I can tell the thing plain old isn't useful. It's kind of annoying, I wish it worked but it never seems to get there.
Thanks for singling me out! (Score:1)
