[Number::Format] Interesting issue in development environment

From: Bill W. <bi...@wa...> - 2006-09-21 19:32:08

I just ran the "make test" and was shocked to find that it didn't
pass.  Why?  It was using the Number::Format that is installed in my
system directory.  Why?  Because my work directory has :: in the
pathname.  Why?  Because I used :: in the directory name when I
checked it into CVS, and Perl uses : as a path separator in the -I
command line option.  Ugh.

To fix, I had to call it from a path that didn't have any colons in
it.  I made a symlink of the Number::Format directory called
Number__Format, and now it works.

I noticed this when I was doing the CVS checkout, and used the -d
option:

  $ cvs co -d Number-Format 'Number::Format'

I think that will be the best option, since we can't rename CVS
modules.

Hep,

With shell access to the CVS server it would be possible to rename,  
but I do not think that we have that :-/

Actually the CVS module is named "perl" so maybe we could?

We'd still need to do cvs add and cvs rm, which means that the file
histories would be lost.  It's definitely possible, of course.  You
might also be able to get a SF admin to simply rename the
Number::Format directory to Number-Format; one fo the nice thing about
CVS is that it's just files, so this will Just Work.

Hello,

Well we could do one thing and that is take a snapshot of what we  
have done so far on sf.net.

Then we could import all of Bill Ward's CVS history into sf.net CVS  
and then re-add our snapshot. This is a fairly well documented  
procedure on sf.net and when we do it we can fix the renaming issue  
and we would not loose much history apart from the commits made  on  
sf.net CVS, which we would have to redo.

It is a long road, but it is doable - I am doing the same thing for  
the Workflow module any day know.

What do you think?

We can ask the SF.net admins to rename the directory.  That's one of
the things they're willing to do IIRC.
