CUSTOMIZED entries in Porting/Maintainers.pl needing attention
Message ID:

bulk88's question about t/Porting/customized.t prompted me to read about
CUSTOMIZED entries in Maintainers.pl. The following entries may warrant
attention:
1.
'Digest::MD5' => {
'DISTRIBUTION' => 'GAAS/Digest-MD5-2.53.tar.gz',
'FILES' => q[cpan/Digest-MD5],
'EXCLUDED' => ['rfc1321.txt'],
# Waiting to be merged upstream: see CPAN RT#89612
'CUSTOMIZED' => ['t/files.t'],
},
Author/maintainer has not responded to shay's Oct 2013 request
(https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=89612) for upstream merge.
2.
'Encode' => {
'DISTRIBUTION' => 'DANKOGAI/Encode-2.67.tar.gz',
'FILES' => q[cpan/Encode],
'CUSTOMIZED' => [ qw( encoding.pm ) ],
},
We should have a comment indicating the reason for the CUSTOMIZED entry.
3.
'PerlIO::via::QuotedPrint' => {
'DISTRIBUTION' => 'ELIZABETH/PerlIO-via-QuotedPrint-0.07.tar.gz',
'FILES' => q[cpan/PerlIO-via-QuotedPrint],
# Waiting to be merged upstream: see CPAN RT#54047
'CUSTOMIZED' => [
qw( t/QuotedPrint.t
),
],
},
Author/maintainer has not responded to any posts in
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=54047, which was originally
filed in January 2010.
https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=PerlIO-via-QuotedPrint
indicates distribution is in HANDOFF status.
4.
'Socket' => {
'DISTRIBUTION' => 'PEVANS/Socket-2.016.tar.gz',
'FILES' => q[cpan/Socket],
'CUSTOMIZED' => [
# Waiting to be merged upstream: see CPAN RT#98217
qw( t/getnameinfo.t ),
],
},
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=98217 has been resolved and I
think the version of Socket in core has an updated g/getnameinfo.t. So
I think this entry can be removed.
5.
'Text::Balanced' => {
'DISTRIBUTION' => 'ADAMK/Text-Balanced-2.02.tar.gz',
'FILES' => q[cpan/Text-Balanced],
'EXCLUDED' => [
qw( t/97_meta.t
t/98_pod.t
t/99_pmv.t
),
],
# Waiting to be merged upstream: see CPAN RT#87788
'CUSTOMIZED' => [
qw( t/01_compile.t
t/02_extbrk.t
t/03_extcbk.t
t/04_extdel.t
t/05_extmul.t
t/06_extqlk.t
t/07_exttag.t
t/08_extvar.t
t/09_gentag.t
),
],
},
Author/maintainers have not responded to shay's Aug 2013 request
(https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=87788) for synch with blead.
Thank you very much.
