Hi,
Today we upgraded some software on the Solaris login servers (willow and
wolfsbane). Notable upgrades include Perl 5.10.1, Python 2.6.5, git
1.7.0.3, GNU bash 4.1 and Mercurial 1.5.
A full list of upgrades is available at
<https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-409>
This upgrade has caused all of my tools using the Perl MediaWiki::API
module to break.
Specifically API.php returns its response in gzip format.
MediaWiki::API uses the standard perl LWP module which uses the
Compress::Zlib module to decode web responses in gzip format.
Compress::Zlib is not an installed module on wolfsbane
What I don't understand is how the upgrade has caused this. Could the
upgrade have uninstalled a previously present Compress::Zlib or could
MediaWiki::API work without Compress::Zlib before the upgrade?
Sorry please ignore. I installed Compress::Zlib locally and thought it
didn't work but I didn't see I had two copies of my tool with similar
names and was testing a different one to which I was modifying!
