perlorg / perlweb Goto Github PK

It would be nice if there was a "close" button to turn it off. I'm currently blocking it with AdBlock.

Also, the "contact details" link at the bottom of perldoc.perl.org (for Jon Allen and the project page) do not work.

E.g. this permalink:

http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/JSON-Parse#9708

doesn't show the review.

cpanratings logins don't seem to be working at the moment.

Allow short comments on reviews.

It'd be good if the rss feed

http://cpanratings.perl.org/index.rss

included the date of each review, as shown on the main page http://cpanratings.perl.org after the author's name.

I see XML::RSS describes add_item(dc=>{date=>...}). I suppose it'd be yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm etc format the same as currently put into the channel dc=>{date=>...}.

The RSS files go into /tmp/rss - which works because XML::RSS can take an absolute path
(using combust.config.work_path).

But you can't do this for TT INCLUDE's because ABSOLUTE paths are not allowed.

So should that file be being written to somewhere else? - or should tmp/ be in the
list of TT INCLUDE_PATH directories?

Cheers

As a semi-regular to Freenode's #perl, I find its lack of mention in the IRC section of http://www.perl.org/community.html a bit disheartening :(

I'd like to suggest this small change -- https://gist.github.com/3892948

Cheers.

See for example:

where there is a single visible review with a rating of 4 and compare it with

• http://search.cpan.org/dist/Tangram/

where the summary is a rating of 2.5

Hi all,

On http://www.perl.org/about.html there's a link to
http://www.builderau.com.au/news/soa/PHP-Perl-and-Python-pass-Homeland-Security-test/0,339028227,339284949,00.htm which redirects to the front page of http://techrepublic.com/ which is irrelevant to the purpose of the link. Someone should dig an old and/or new link there. Thanks to ferz on Freenode's #perl for reporting it.

Good evening,

I'm trying to install RT - Request Tracker on an OpenSuse 12.3, and after run "make testdeps" and then "make fixdeps", it shows me that DBD:mysql is missing. After download it manually, can't install because it can't find "mysql_config". So, i've downloaded Mysql-devel to fix that. It can't install because SUSE has mariadb installed. RT Request can run in SUSE 12.3? or What troubleshoot should i try?

thank you,

Hi all,

The link "P5P FAQ" on http://dev.perl.org/perl5/lists.html is broken. http://dev.perl.org/perl5/docs/p5p-faq.html redirects to http://dev.perl.org/perl5/ .

Please fix it.

Regards,

So $CBROOT/bin/cron/hourly can not run

There is a new bug where the "overall" rating gets removed each time the page is edited, so when I save the page the star rating is gone. This wasn't happening until recently.

Also, when are you going to actually display the documentation etc. ratings? These have never worked for four or more years.

On this page:

http://learn.perl.org/installing/windows.html

The link at the bottom is broken:

http://learn.perl.org/modules/installing.html

If I enter Unicode text like すごい on cpanratings.perl.org, the Unicode is read as individual bytes then processed into HTML entities per-byte, rendering it unreadable.

See e.g.

http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Poem

This contains the Unicode codes 0x3059, 0x3054, 0x3044 translated into UTF-8 then with each utf8 byte turned into entities.

Please update all YAPC:NA links to point to http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/

I follow the RSS feed, but because the post is plain text my feed reader (google reader)
flattens everything into a single paragraph,
whereas the text of the review on the website is nicely formatted.

Would it be reasonable to either convert the "description" tags in the rss feed to html like the website does?

Or is it possible to specify a ccontent type of text/plain so that aggregators know it's plain text?
(I'm not sure if that's a valid solution).

Thanks!

Using http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html shows perl.org has a TXT type SPF record but not a SPF type SPF record, rt.perl.org has nothing. Please make RT's mail SPF pass.

/static/css/leostyle.css has TT in it:

e.g:

background: transparent url([% combust.static_url("/images/arrow_grey.gif") %]) no-repeat center right

Either the TT should be removed or CSS files need to be served through TT when developing.

Is there an api for cpan ratings info?
Or any alternative interfaces for retrieving data?

I'm interested in putting the number of reviews and average ratings (stars) that show up on search.cpan.org
onto metacpan.org (metacpan/metacpan-web#292)

If there aren't any interfaces other than the main html one,
would you be opposed to (someone) adding one?

The 'recent' links on the bottom left of http://www.perl.org/ are still pointing to search.cpan.org - which was updated to use metacpan on the 26th of September.

Verified others are seeing this as well, but depends on where you are making the request from.

Some caching issue somewhere?

http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/DBIx-Class-FrozenColumns

gives:

"404 - File not found

Sorry, we looked high and low and just could not find the file %2Fdist%2FDBIx-Class-FrozenColumns."

I'm not sure if this is the place to report this or not, but when I submit bugs via perlbug, they go into a DB @ perl.org. I get sent mail
from perlbug-followup, with the perl bug number in the title.

When people respond to that bug, I get copies sent to me, also coming
from perlbug-followup.

However, when I respond to that bug, I get a bounce message coming from perl.org saying it has been told to bounce my emails (sent via [email protected]). At first, I thought it was a bounce because the bug list seems to forward most perl5 bug messages to p5p, but no -- I found out a few few months later, it actually stopped my updates to the bug (or responses to the bug) from going into my bug and updating it. People could respond to my initial posting, but they didn't get any thing
I posted in return, as it was bounced.

I realize Ricardo thinks he is protecting p5p from my dangerous opinions (like reorganizing man pages by man-page section rather than grouping them all under "commands" -- which is what got me banned), but it should not stop me from updating / responding to posts to bug reports.

I suggested this long before this became a problem -- and that was to divide/split the p5p list into 2 lists -- one for p5p discussion and one for receiving the bug reports. That way someone could choose to be on one or the other. I thought of this when I realized that my bug reports, which can sometimes be terse or passionate, were being taken in bits and pieces by people on the p5p list who responded out of context and hadn't read prior bug history -- which caused problems.

Anyway, that solution is somewhat of a side issue, with the main problem being that Ricardo's personal vendetta is interfering with my ability to respond to my own bug reports when people ask questions of me. At least I know, now, that I have to go to the website and log-in just to post a response... when I was getting rejection messages, I had no clue that it meant that my responses weren't going into the bug...

That's a problem.

Thanks!

Just click here: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=perl.org
There is a spurious script end tag on line 378, and the google script at the end is never terminated. It isn't exactly rocket science to keep tags properly balanced.

README.md references files in the combust/ directory but in my clone there are none.
Ergo, I have no idea how to start the webserver. :-)

For, e.g.,

http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Water

it is not possible to see the unhelpful reviews at all.

For this one,

http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/CGI-Compress-Gzip

it is possible to view the review marked "unhelpful" by clicking it.

This file:

http://cpanratings.perl.org/js/yui/yui.js

seems to be missing on the website:

Hi and happy holidays,

in continuation to the thread here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/advocacy%40perl.org/msg02393.html (also see Leo Lapworth’s response: http://www.mail-archive.com/advocacy%40perl.org/msg02394.html ), I am requesting that the content on learn.perl.org and other *.perl.org sites be licensed under a less restrictive licence than CC-by-nc-nd (which isn't much better than All Rights Reserved).

Some suitable licences will be:

1. CC-by - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ .
2. CC-by-sa - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ - also a good licence, which makes sure derivative works are licensed the same.
3. CC-by-nc - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ - not as ideal as CC-by and CC-by-sa , but still quite good.
4. CC-by-nc-sa - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ - not ideal as the above but still usable and acceptable.

There are some other options here: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html

The reasons I am saying that is because I may wish to reuse some of the material on http://perl-begin.org/ and other sites, and putting the contents under an open or mostly open licence will encourage people to build upon them, link to them and share them, and in turn help promote perl and *.perl.org.

Regards,

To let users review in other languages we should allow an input box to specify what language a review is written in (auto-detected with some google api if it exists).

On the homepage and distribution page let users filter by language (with JS probably).

Good evening,

When i try to install Perl, a message appears "GLIBC_2.3 not found, required by perl/bin/perl." How can i proceed?

thank you,

It might be useful to have a "report spam" button:

http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/CiviCRM-Client-REST

I apologize if this is a duplicate of #1 but wasn't sure.

dolmen's name (Olivier Mengué) looks correct on various urls

• http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Bundle-Everything
• http://cpanratings.perl.org/user/dolmen

but is mojibake on http://cpanratings.perl.org/#9376 (Olivier Mengué)

not sure why it's different.

I'd like to have a place to put an up-to-date listing of the members of the Perl 5 security team. I'd rather not use perlsec.pod because the membership may change more than once a year, and I'd like to have a stable URL to provide.

I am happy to write a patch, if "you folks" tell me roughly where a good place to put the data would be.

Thanks.

It's very strange code - I'm not actually sure what it's meant to create

Add feature to let a user delete a review. The review should still be stored in the database, but not be shown on the home page and just be shown as "this review has been deleted" at the bottom of the distribution and user page.

In the Perl functions A-Z entry for "length", its short description says it returns bytes, but the full function page says it's characters.

From the index page:

length - return the number of bytes in a string

From the function page:

Returns the length in characters of the value of EXPR

For example, on this page: http://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/Module-Changes

when I click on "3 hidden unhelpful reviews" nothing happens, and the console.log output shows:

GET http://cpanratings.perl.org/api/review/get?auth_token=&dist=Module-Changes&unhelpful=1&html=1 412 (Precondition Failed)

I can't access any reviews. The main page says this:

500 - Server Error

undef error - DBIx::Class::ResultSet::next(): DBI Connection failed: DBI
