Re^6: XML-LibXML-2.0129 installation issues

I think you're talking past each other. I'm sure that 2.9.4 is a bad version, but the condition quoted by syphilis also gave me pause, as I found it somewhat unclear too. I think the logic is that 2.9.4 is so horribly broken that you can't even $FORCE it, but the code could do with a comment here and should output that.

I think the logic is that 2.9.4 is so horribly broken that you can't even $FORCE it No, I think it's only breakage is the schema regression that was causing some tests in (t/40reader.t) to fail. From https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=114638: `Test Summary Report ------------------- t/40reader.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 89 + Failed: 0) Non-zero exit status: 2 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 100 tests but ran 89. Files=71, Tests=2552, 2 wallclock secs ( 0.19 usr 0.04 sys + 1.95 c +usr 0.20 csys = 2.38 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 1/71 test programs. 0/2552 subtests failed. make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255` [download] As Anonymous Monk pointed out, this problem has now been worked around (as of version 2.016). Hence cpan-testers will give it a "PASS", so allowing them to test it (by not doing the 'exit 0') won't result in any FAIL reports. Version 2.9.4 is still on the blacklist solely because of that regression - and the workaround was simply to skip the failing tests. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
