[DBIx-Class-Devel] Busted Releasing on Windows

[fREW Schmidt]

haarg noticed some weird stuff with the build proc causing
SineSwiper's strange build:

   < haarg> that selfinject-pod thing in dbicadmin looks rather goofy
   < haarg> but aside from that i'm not sure how to make that work with dmake
   < haarg> in addition to the exec call looking very broken on windows
   < frew> haarg: where is this, I'm looking and can't find it
   < haarg> http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=dbsrgits/DBIx-Class.git;a=blob;f=script/dbicadmin;h=58ef4c823e1634f98cad750fbe66a4281bca5f02;hb=master#l71
   < haarg> used here 
   adowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=dbsrgits/DBIx-Class.git;a=blob;f=maint/Makefile.PL.inc/52_inject_dbicadmin_pod.pl;h=e9f098060d6b5e1dc6943941397366cab5e0202a;hb=master
   < frew> oh goodness
   < haarg> dmake doesn't set MAKELEVEL
   < frew> so a stupid fix would be to just remove the die entirely
   < frew> and that would work?
   < haarg> possibly
   < haarg> that exec call still won't work though
   < frew> why?  won't that be called by perl itself?  not the Makefile?
   < haarg> honestly i'm tempted to say "never do releases from windows"
   < frew> (ie Makefule.PL)
   < frew> oooh
   < frew> yeah
   < frew> that's legit
   < frew> if you release on windows your perms will be all screwed up anyway
   < haarg> well, actually that's at duild time, not release time
   < haarg> build
   < frew> (in my experience)
   < haarg> or no
   < haarg> bleh sorry
   < haarg> that's release time
   < haarg> and yeah the permissions are all screwed
   < haarg> and possible the M::I stuff is busted too
   < frew> so maybe a better soln would be at the beginning die "use a real OS to release DBIC" if $^O =~ m/^(?:Win32|cygwin)$/i
   < haarg> SineSwiper's dev release had a number of problems like that
   < haarg> possibly
   < frew> I'm gonna just mail this to the list and see what riba thinks, since he made this weird M::I framework

So basically I posit that we should bail builds done on windows due to
a menagerie of fun and probably not worth fixing issues.
