CPAN Testers Matrix with fresh data

[Slaven Rezic]

Luckily, the information found on
http://metabase.cpantesters.org/tail/log.txt is enough to build a
basic matrix view. So with the help of Andreas Koenig who is
collecting log.txt output since some weeks, we have now an alternative
CPAN Testers Matrix view. Try out:

http://217.199.168.174/cgi-bin/cpantestersmatrix.pl
http://217.199.168.174/cgi-bin/cpantestersmatrix.pl?dist=libwww-perl
http://217.199.168.174/cgi-bin/cpantestersmatrix.pl?dist=Dist-Zilla

Many things don't work (no author view, no working links to the test
reports on cpantesters.org, and there are no links from search.cpan.org +
metacpan.org, so you have to type the dist name yourself), but it's
probably fine to see if your new devel distribution looks green or
red.

This URL will stay active until Barbie's catchup script finishes.

Regards,
Slaven

Apologize if I missed the answer earlier, but I just joined the list
(just discovered the list, actually). What does it mean if I can see
reports here, but not on the main CPAN Testers site? (I had raised an
RT ticket on this issue, but perhaps I shouldn't have ...)

Report are submitted to the "Metabase", which stores all the reports.

Reports are then extracted and transformed on the "main" CPAN Testers site.

We have had ongoing problems of reports submitted to the Metabase not
getting picked up by CPAN Testers. We believe this is due to Amazon
SimpleDB (which Metabase uses to index submitted reports) being
completely shitty.

Periodically, Barbie and I (mostly Barbie) figure out what reports are
missing and sync them up. We have for a long while, had loose plans
to migrate off Amazon, but this has stalled due to an amazing lack of
tuits and to a lesser extent a lack of resources.

Mostly, people are patient, but sometimes people want to see that
their reports are submitted *RIGHT AWAY*, so we have the "tail log"
that just shows recent submissions and the pass/fail status. No one
has every said that is missing reports (which is interesting since
it's also derived from a SimpleDB query), so people are looking to use
it to capture basic pass/fail data even without the underlying report.

I'm sorry, what do you mean by this sentence?

By the way, I'd like to point out that for the month of November no
reports at all show up on cpantesters:

The tail log is here for reference: http://metabase.cpantesters.org/tail/log.txt

It provides a one-line summary of results, but you can't access the
actual *text* of the report to see what happened. It can be scraped
to get PASS/FAIL ratios by platform and perl version, but that's all.
