Description Thomas Moschny 2011-03-12 11:08:32 UTC
Spec URL: http://thm.fedorapeople.org/perl-Monotone-AutomateStdio/perl-Monotone-AutomateStdio.spec
SRPM URL: http://thm.fedorapeople.org/perl-Monotone-AutomateStdio/perl-Monotone-AutomateStdio-0.12-1.fc16.src.rpm

Description:
The Monotone::AutomateStdio class gives a Perl developer access to
Monotone's automate stdio facility via an easy to use interface. All
command, option and output formats are handled internally by this
class. Any structured information returned by Monotone is parsed and
returned back to the caller as lists of records for ease of access
(detailed below). One also has the option of accessing Monotone's
output as one large string should you prefer.

I have few comments on packaging. Shouldn't be mtn-tester also installed or run as test?
Also upstream created strange pod file. Usually are pods created from pm files, but that's not blocker.
NOT APPROVED

From the README:

 "Please note that automated testing of this library module is still `work in
  progress'. There is a test harness called mtn-tester that can be used to test
  most important features of this library. However, it does require not only the
  installation of Monotone, as you would expect, but also a test database with
  certain revisions and files in it. At the moment this is done by using a
  dedicated branch in the main Monotone database found at monotone.ca. The test
  branch is called net.venge.monotone.contrib.lib.automate-stdio.test.

  In time I hope to write a Monotone emulator that generates the required output
  to test the library, or perhaps just have a smaller database generated on the
  fly."

So I'd say mtn-tester should neither be run nor installed.

In theory, I could create a Monotone database with that branch in it and include it in the package, and generate a temporary key on the fly, but that's a lot of effort for little gain.

> Also upstream created strange pod file. Usually are pods created from pm files,

In what way is it "strange"?

What do you suggest? I could talk to upstream and ask him to include the docs in the .pm and generate the .pod from that.

So, what is the blocker then?

I agree, hopefully tests will be better in future.

That would be nice.
