I have smelled the smoke, and it is not good.
Let's review some platforms:
Linux - seems mostly okay, but I have a bunch of failures from Tux on
OpenSUSE, mostly failing when using ccache, failing on
../cpan/Socket/t/sockaddr.t
Tux, what's up? Anybody else having difficulties?
Solaris - builds just fine for me with suncc and gnucc; I see one failure
from TonyC related to op/sigsystem.t and Sockt/t/getnameinfo.t
TonyC, any idea what's up with that? I had no difficulty.
Darwin - Looks good. No surprise to me, I build it on Darwin all the time.
I see some red reports from TonyC, but the logs show all tests
successful, so I think it's a reporting problem..?
That concludes all the platforms where I regularly build. Here are more:
MSWin - Looks... pretty good! Well, about as good as usual. I'm not sure
what's up with the test failure for /cpan/Memoize/t/expmod_t.t
My plan is to try to get a Win32 smoke going overnight here. I have
a build box, but it's a VM and quite slow. Anyone else want to chime
in?
Reini reported a problem with Encode (#112612) not building because
it uses miniperl but should use perl. I haven't seen anyone else
reproduce that yet. I've asked for more info.
Cygwin - Looks bad. I don't know what cygwin looked like around, say,
5.14.0-RC0. Does it ever tend to smoke clean? :-/
Who are our other Cygwin experts on staff?
I don't have a Cygwin build environment at my disposal.
NetBSD - Looking pretty bad. I really have no idea what's up here, but surely
someone does, or can offer speculation. Some of these reports look
like the Darwin fail: all tests successful, report marked bad. Then
one has a pile of dbm failures. Are things really working or not?
I don't have a NetBSD machine at my disposal.
VMS - I see a failure. I don't know what's up. Craig? Anybody?
AIX - Holy cow, it's green! That's some great news!
HP-UX - Looks *terrible*. Lots of failures, and flipping through them, there
seem to be quite a few different kinds of failure. Tux, do you have
some idea what's up, here?
I don't have access to an HP-UX build environment.
Have I missed any platforms I should not have missed?
Right now, at the very least, HP-UX and NetBSD look blockingly bad. I think we
need more information on Cygwin and VMS and Win32.
Please chime in. Remember, the only platforms that I rely on seem to be
working just fine... ;)
