I don't think that we have any particular agenda, other than being sure to mention YAPC :) I'm going to try to be there early Friday to set up.

Looks like the date is April 22nd. Hey, I think I'll be here for that one (the European Perl Tour starts on the next day). I can talk about my BackPAN indexing, which has lots of interesting little Perl tidbits in it. Some of it uses PPI (the good enough Perl Parser), extracted parts of PAUSE, and other oddities. This is a follow-on to my "Making My Own CPAN" talk. If you've been following my use.perl journal during the Oslo Hackathon, you've seen me mention most of the parts already, although without seeing the code or details. Once I separate the experiments from the parts that worked, I can give you the details. :) -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/ From joshua.mcadams at gmail.com Mon Apr 14 10:43:28 2008 From: joshua.mcadams at gmail.com (Joshua McAdams) Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:43:28 -0500 Subject: [WindyCity-pm] Fwd: OSCON User Group Discount Code In-Reply-To: <4550D3260E04F442AEAA5C29D4559FF40574637A@THN-EXCLS1.dc1.doubleclick.corp> References: <4550D3260E04F442AEAA5C29D4559FF40574637A@THN-EXCLS1.dc1.doubleclick.corp> Message-ID: <49d805d70804141043k20665c0ap5e80ef725519d6a3@mail.gmail.com> ***OSCON 2008 registration is Now Open, Portland, OR--July 21-25 Join over 2,500 open source developers, hackers, experts, IT managers, and users at OSCON 2008.

The system is > designed for compiled languages, but I figure if I can present them > with a make file-esqe setup, I won't cause to much of a problem. I do. I LOVE M::B. Easy to subclass, extend, override defaults, etc. We've got a hierarchy like this: M::B => X::M::B => X::M::B::Base => X::M::B::(?:Legacy|Standard) X::M::B is where we put our extra functionality. X::M::B::Base has stuff that we want every distribution to use. X::M::B::Standard has stuff for new code and completely reformed legacy code. X::M::B::Legacy, well, you can guess that. One thing we use this for is centralizing version dependencies. Here's an edited down version of one of our Build.PL files: ==== use strict; use warnings; use X::Module::Build::Legacy 16230; #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, please do not specify a module # version in the dependencies here. Simply specify a dependency upon a # version 0 here, then go modify # $X::Module::Build::Base::MINIMUM_MODULE_VERSIONS to include your real # minimum version. This way we only need to update versions in one location. my $builder = X::Module::Build::Legacy->new( module_name => 'Y::B', requires_merge => { 'A::Z' => 0, Cwd => 0, DBI => 0, Exporter => 0, Fcntl => 0, 'File::Basename' => 0, 'File::Copy' => 0, 'File::Spec' => 0, 'File::stat' => 0, 'File::Temp' => 0, 'G::C::C' => 0, 'G::U' => 0, 'G::U::S' => 0, 'Getopt::Long' => 0, 'IO::Handle' => 0, 'IO::Wrap' => 0, 'List::MoreUtils' => 0, POSIX => 0, Readonly => 0, 'S::S' => 0, 'Sys::Hostname' => 0, Template => 0, 'Term::ANSIColor' => 0, 'Time::HiRes' => 0, 'Time::Local' => 0, 'U::M' => 0, 'U::S' => 0, 'U::S' => 0, vars => 0, # There is no direct dependency upon this, but a very definite # indirect one. Nothing will work without this. 'DBD::Sybase' => 0, }, build_requires_merge => { 'Data::Dumper' => 0, 'File::Basename' => 0, 'File::Spec::Functions' => 0, 'File::Temp' => 0, FindBin => 0, 'IO::File' => 0, lib => 0, 'Scalar::Util' => 0, 'Scope::Guard' => 0, 'Test::Deep' => 0, 'Test::Differences' => 0, 'Test::File' => 0, 'Test::File::Diff' => 0, }, ); # Have to clean up additional test-generated files. $builder->add_to_cleanup( qw< t/a/O> ); $builder->create_build_script(); ===== Yes, we list dependencies upon core modules. It helps if a core module is/is made to be a dual-lifed module and we want to force an upgrade. You'll note that M::B doesn't have "requires_merge" and "build_requires_merge" configuration keys. The handling of those lives in X::M::B. I named those after "meta_merge"; see the doc on that for the idea of how these work. The ::Base, ::Standard, and ::Legacy modules put modules we want to commonly have our distros depend upon into "requires" and "build_requires". For example, ::Standard puts in a "build_requires" for Test::Perl::Critic and ::Legacy puts one in for Test::Perl::Critic::Progressive. We've got a CruiseControl server set up. When somebody makes a change to a distribution, it gets built, and assuming that the tests pass, a tarball is published to an internal CPAN repository. (Truly an instance of the dark-PAN.) We have a Task:: like distribution that depends upon all the other distributions that we want put into production (it also runs some sanity tests). CruiseControl builds this distribution 4 times a day. It uses normal CPAN.pm to build all of our third-party dependencies and plus ours. (Woohoo! Free dependency resolution!) Out of that comes a tarball that can be handed to QA and eventually put into production. There's a bunch of other stuff in there that adds custom build targets (ACTION_* methods) and custom file-type handling. We make the dist target depend upon the build, manifest, and distmeta ones. We've got some workarounds for NFS timing issues. (Just lovely, that.) Etc.

This meeting will feature brian d foy discussing his recent project in indexing backpan, the full history of source code on CPAN. Join us to hear about the challenges that he had on the project, as well as, some of the reasons why having an indexed backpan is useful. If you haven't RSVP'd for a meeting before, please send me and email and I'll add you to the list.

Does anyone want to sponsor the guy responsible for Strawberry Perl, PPI (the tech behind Perl::Critic), and lots of other stuff? I'm already covering some of his world travel expenses, but I'm also helping him look for additional support for YAPC and the hackathon. Remember, he not only has travel expenses, but he has to take time off work to do this. You can respond to me or Adam (adamk at cpan.org) directly.

Please feel free to spread the word to any of your respective companies or PM groups to let them know. The URL for registering for the conference is: http://conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2008/purchase We will be putting out housing information soon for those who want to stay on-campus for the conference. Feel free to register now and take advantage of the discounted conference rate. You'll be able to add housing later.
