dblock - program to write a distribution preferences files to disable the smoker from testing it
dblock --distro='ARFREITAS/Siebel-Srvrmgr'
This parameter expects a string describing the Perl distribution to be disabled regarding testing on the smoker. The string must have the format <AUTHOR>/<DISTRIBUTION>. This is a required parameter: not providing it will cause the program to abort with an error.
This help message.
Addeds a customized comment to the distroprefs file. It's entirely optional, and if not given, the default text will be the string Tests hang smoker. Sometimes you want to add an distroprefs when, for example, the distribution uses too much disk space, and an different message will help to identify that.
Tests hang smoker
Prints the version number and exits.
This program creates a YAML file that describes a Perl distribution preferences specifically to disable CPAN::Reporter to skip trying to test the distribution itself.
Sometimes this is required to be included for CPAN Smokers (see CPAN::Reporter::Smoker) because some distributions just cannot be tested automatically and makes a smoker to hand during the tests, having the related processes to be terminated manually.
The YAML file will be created on the respective home directory of the user, followed by .cpan and prefs.
.cpan
prefs
See CPAN::Reporter Pod for details. You can check examples of those files on this project webpage at Github. Those preferences files were created during several tests executed.
