[Bioperl-l] Bio-Root has no Build.PL

[Francisco J. Ossandón]

I played around with ActivePerl and resolved some test fails (it seems that
ActivePerl is more resistant to delete temporary database files than
Strawberry Perl, causing things like "reindex" to not work properly). I'm
pushing some fixes today but I will have to continue tomorrow to polish it a
little more. I will let you know when there are no more troubles.

Cheers,

Everything is currently working fine on my end, using Strawberry Perl, BUT I
remember somebody reported troubles when using ActiveState Perl... I had to
stop analyzing pending bugs on Redmine because I was getting too delayed on
my job project, but I can try to install ActiveState Perl and check if there
are quick adjustments that can be made on that end...

I'll give it a look tomorrow and tell you my findings.

Cheers,

It can have one, but it would be wiped by a dzil release run (which creates
a Build.PL for the releases as it handles lots of the specific steps of a
release, such as POD syntax checking, tests, etc).  The only other reason
would be to have a way of installing it locally, but I’m not sure of the
utility of that on a master branch.  Test runs can be done with ‘prove -lr
t/‘, so is there any (good!) reason to have it?

Also, it’s not on CPAN b/c there hasn’t been a 1.7 release yet (that would
be the first with Bio::Root as a separate release, the 1.6.x branch in
bioperl-live still has it).  I’ll check in with Francisco on the status of a
final 1.6.x release, there were a few things pending on the Windows end but
maybe they’re addressed.  There is one blocking issue re: versions assigned
to the modules that caused problems with v.1.6.923.
