| f00li5h | s[s/why//][s/wht//] jink: sure jink: tail -f works, so why not use it |
| jink | partly because i was curious how one would solve that in perl :P |
| f00li5h | everything that can be implemented as a data-agnostic filter should be |
| jink | true true :) |
| f00li5h | jink: well, you just use non-blocing reads |
| jink | yeah, erhm, sure! :D |
| f00li5h | you use select to see if you have anything to read |
| axscode | hehe |
| f00li5h | axscode: meow |
| jink | ah, wonderful, i have a copy of the perl cookbook here |
| rindolf | f00li5h: nice (re your father) |
| action | axscode bows to master f00li5h |
| axscode | bows to master f00li5h |
| dag | What is the easiest way to get the Build Requirements of perl packages, I found the 'requires' in META.yml, but that seems to be the perl modules that are required for using a module, not for building i |
| axscode | dag: whats your OS? |
| f00li5h | axscode: master? far from rindolf: so what's the news from your end of the field? |
| dag | axscode: RHEL, but it's not relevant, i'm writing an RPM Spec file generator where I need that information |
| axscode | dag: relevant. in FreeBSD its easy.. hehe. |
| dag | axscode: I guess I can start parsing the Makefile(s) but since the generator is written in python... |
| rindolf | f00li5h: started a few moderately active discussion on the JoS board. |
| dag | axscode: tell me |
| Ani-_ | dag: it's both building and using. |
| rindolf | f00li5h: one regarding the fact that joel.reddit.com is a failed experiment. |
| Ani-_ | dag: If you build it you also need to run the tests. Which uses it. |
| axscode | just find what you need its all come in p5-XXXXXX and just make file install, and wallah. |
| dag | Ani: I only need the one's required for creating an RPM packages, not the ones required for using it afterwards (RPM is doing that for me) ani: right, but before building it, I would like to make it available automagically |
| f00li5h | rindolf: i've not read joel.reddit.com (so i suppose that is part of the failure ;) |
| dag | ani: I don't want to go build it and see why it fails and go back and forth |
| rindolf | f00li5h: oh OK. f00li5h: are you familiar with http://reddit.com/ ? |
| f00li5h | i know of it but i'd not say "fimiliar" |
| rindolf | f00li5h: OK. |
| dag | axscode: how would you extract that information from the tarball ? axscode: imagine I am the guy creating the p5-XXXXXX, how would I do that in an automated fashion |
| f00li5h | i suppose that you ask the tarball for the information |
| dag | f00li5h: and where would that information reside (if not by parsing the Makefile) |
