Slimserver/CPAN/* - crawling horror?

[Simon Kelley]

As a preliminary to packaging slimserver in Debian, I've tried to take a
systematic look at the contents of the CPAN directory, since it doesn't
make sense to just include this stuff in Debian package. Most of it can
be obtained just by depending on the correct packages from the Debian
archive.

What I found is a bit of a mess:

* The majority of the CPAN code is out of date.
* Some modules have local modifications, but there's no way to tell
which, short if downloading-and-diffing them (which I did - a very
boring process)
* Some modules _might_ have local modifications, but there's no easy way
at all to tell, since the versions in Slimserver are no longer
available in CPAN.
* Some modules don't have modifications, but have had their version
numbers mangled by passing through CVS/SVN, because the version numbers
are in CVS tags.
* There's a few non-CPAN modules in there too.

I understand that the Slimserver tarball has to be self-contained, with
copies of all the required CPAN code, but there has to be a better way
than this. A few suggestions for starters:

1) Split off locally-modified modules so that they are easily discernable.

2) For the unmodified modules, Update to the latest CPAN version as part
of forking each new release. That gets any CPAN bugfixes in, and gives
the whole development cycle to chase out any regressions. It's much
better to be using up-to-date modules as that is what will be in most
distros.

3) Review the local changes - some look very trivial - and eliminate if
possible.

4) For the modules where I couldn't tell (marked ???) determine the
modified/unmodified status.

5) Check that all of this stuff is actually needed.


Can anybody help with this, or provide better suggestions?

I've attached the results of my investigations.


Cheers,

Simon.

Good work looking at all this. The CPAN stuff is pretty tricky. One
way to figure out local modifications would be to look at the commit
history at http://svn.slimdevices.com/trunk/server/CPAN/, but of course
that won't always make it obvious. People who add CPAN modules or make
changes to them should be very explicit when they do so.

For the most part, I believe that whenever a change has been made to a
CPAN module, it has been passed upstream. Not all have made it into
CPAN though. I never got a response back from the maintainer of YAML.pm
for instance. In other cases, the CPAN maintainer is identical to the
person who made the Slim modification (Dan in the case of Audio::WMA,
and co-maintainer for Audio::FLAC::Header).

As for CPAN modules in Slim being out of date, that is mostly just
indifference. Updating code that is working is fairly unexciting and
introduces some risk. I agree that it should be done, I'm just not
volunteering to do it.

All in all, your suggestions look pretty reasonable.


Comment specifically on the YAML.pm mod: yes, it is necessary, and I
will try getting in touch with the maintainer again.

That's correct.

Yes - I've tried to keep things up to date, but have fallen behind
(especially on the binary modules) as testing is required.

You should rely on the $VERSION as opposed to any $Id$ tags.

Good idea. I'll make that happen.

Very true.

I've also been trying to get changes back to the upstream authors.

This is a yes actually.

I own these modules and haven't release new CPAN versions yet.

For all the modules which you've marked 'no', I've update their versions, with the exceptions of the binary modules.

Yes - heavily modified - but recently turned off the code that was modified,
and looking at other packages, so it may be a moot point.

I've removed unused modules where I could identify them to cleanup.

I did, but there are some instances of things like this:
$VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q$Revision: 1.1 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/);

Where the revision has been replaced by CVS in the SlimServer copy.

That's good. I don't think it's realistic to always be able to release
without some patched CPAN code, and I'm happy to support that in the
Debian package. I'm lazily trying to do the minimum amount of work for
each subsequent release when I have to determine the dependency list,
and work out which modules have to stay in the Slimserver package.

I think that Audio::APE is one which isn't in CPAN at all, AFAICS. I
assume it will be.
Is Audio::APEtags 0.02 OK to use?

Great! If the Slimserver nightlies are using the latest version, I'm

Thanks for your work. I've attached the latest status - I'm now
converging rapidly in a dependency set. ( I guess the "version in slim"
column is no longer relevant - I've left it in for completeness.)
