  • Posted Perl Toolchain Summit 2023 in Lyon to Kenichi Ishigaki

    Four years have passed since the last Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS) in Marlow. I planned to continue working on PAUSE's web UI, but I didn't exactly remember what to do. So the first thing I did at home before the PTS was to read through the PAUSE issues and do some triage. I also resumed a virtual…

    DBD::SQLite 1.65_03 (with SQLite 3.32.3) is a release candidate for the next stable DBD::SQLite. There are no big changes, maybe except for the ncrease of the default upper bound on the number of parameters from 999 to 32766 (since SQLite 3.32).

  • Posted Perl Toolchain Summit and PAUSE Permission Management Per Distribution to Kenichi Ishigaki

    At the Perl Toolchain Summit 2019 in Marlow/Bisham, I added a feature to manage PAUSE permissions per distribution, which I hope makes it easier for you to grant permissions to other contributors.

    This was the fifth year of my PAUSE hacking. I had spent first two years to port PAU…

  • Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite will be released at the end of February to Kenichi Ishigaki

    It's been a year since the last stable DBD::SQLite was released. Actually, it's been a year and a half since the SQLite library bundled in the last stable DBD::SQLite was released by the upstream. A lot have happened there, and some here. It's time for you to test them all against your…

  • Posted Perl Toolchain Summit 2017 and PAUSE on Mojolicious in progress to Kenichi Ishigaki

    At the last two Perl QA Hackathons, I worked on porting PAUSE on Plack, to drop old mod_perl and Apache dependencies and make it easier to set up PAUSE on your local environment. It was successful, but more could be done to fix various (visual/security/usability) issues on PAUSE UI. So, at the…

  • Posted QA Hackathon 2016 in Rugby to Kenichi Ishigaki

    Last year, at the QA Hackathon 2015 in Berlin, I created a branch for PAUSE to use Plack, and succeeded to make it live on a staging environment. However, we didn't merge it into the master, because we knew we still need something to keep it running. Thus naturally, one of my goals of this year's…

  • Posted QA Hackathon 2015 and PAUSE on Plack to Kenichi Ishigaki

    At the previous QA hackathons, I spent most of my time on improving various aspects of CPANTS. However, I usually couldn't see what I implemented there online, because it takes about a day to analyze everything. All I could do was to start the analyzer before I fly back and confirm the result at…

  • Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite to be released in mid-December to Kenichi Ishigaki

    DBD::SQLite 1.45_05 is a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. I usually wait one month for users to test, but as it includes an important security fix for PerlData virtual table, I'll release it a bit earlier than usual, in mid-December, hopefully on 10th (if there's no blocker nor…

  • Posted QA Hackathon 2014 and CPANTS to Kenichi Ishigaki

    I mostly worked on CPANTS at the QA Hackathon in Lyon, as I did in the previous years.

    As one of the significant topics of the hackathon was PAUSE permissions, I started to add PAUSE permissions handling to the CPANTS analyzer (thanks to Ricardo Signes), and introduced a "no_unauthorized_p…

  • Posted DBD::SQLite 1.41_07 to Kenichi Ishigaki

    As the upstream released a new version of SQLite (3.8.4.1) and I was asked to include it in the next stable, I released yet anther release candidate: DBD::SQLite 1.41_07. There's no changes in Perl/XS, and all the bugs fixed in the stream should be obscure. I'm planning to release it as the next…

  • Posted Next DBD::SQLite to be released in early March to Kenichi Ishigaki

    DBD::SQLite 1.41_06 is a release candidate of the next production release of DBD::SQLite. I'm planning to release it around the QA Hackathon in March if there's no blocking report. I suppose upgrading won't break your software, but please test it with 1.41_06 and post anything new you find to…

    To Olivier: I know, and actually Module::CPANTS::Analyse used on the site is patched locally to suppress various warnings etc. Wait a bit more until I can tell all the significant show-stoppers are addressed....

  • Commented on Announcing acme.cpanauthors.org and cpants.charsbar.org
    Thank you for the heads-up. The Catalyst backend seems to have choked somehow. Restarted it, and it's fine now....
  • Posted Announcing acme.cpanauthors.org and cpants.charsbar.org to Kenichi Ishigaki

    I'm happy to announce that I've launched a website for Acme::CPANAuthors modules. You can see which group is supposed to have the largest community, or have contributed to the CPAN most, or who is the most prolific author in a community or the author of the highest kwalitee. Of course these are…

  • Posted DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 and mod_perl to Kenichi Ishigaki

    The DBD::SQLite team shipped a new developer release (version 1.34_01) with a patch by Mark Dootson. It should fix a long-standing "not an error" issue under the mod_perl/CentOS environment (reported and discussed in several tickets). I confirmed the bug was gone under the CentOS 5.5, but if you…

  • Posted perlnews bot renewal to Kenichi Ishigaki

    I have recently replaced my perl news bot for IRC (#news@irc.perl.org) and Twitter (@perlnews) along with the server where it resides. Now it is powered by AnyEvent (it was a Plagger bot before), and its repository goes to github as well. If you find…

  • Posted Slides from my presentation at OSDC.TW 2011 to Kenichi Ishigaki

    I gave a talk at OSDC.TW 2011 about PPM as yet another faster installer, and several modules I took over from Randy Kobes who passed away last year.

    Compared to the transition from CPAN/CPANPLUS to App::cpanminus, PPM, which once used a remote API server but now downloads indices (summary)…
