CPAN's RT::Crypt::SMIME installation fails

Behzad_Mahini · October 22, 2009, 2:08am

I have been forced to do a manual installation of RT::Crypt::SMIME (as
CPAN installation failed). The manual installation fails during the
“test” phase, as I get an error/warning message about the fact that
“RT.pm” can not be located in @INC (my RT.pm is actually located
under my $RTHOME/lib). I tried 2 separate approaches to point to the
location of “RT.pm” during the "perl Makefile.PL’ step, and both failed:

Scenario 1 (the following line is in a shell script called
"RUN_rt_crypt_smime.sh):

RTHOME=/ngs/app/rt/oppresso/rt-3.8.4 perl  Makefile.PL

or (same as above with the addition of where RT.pm is located at --

using the “Include” directory switch ‘-I’):

RTHOME=/ngs/app/rt/oppresso/rt-3.8.4 perl -I/ngs/app/rt/oppresso/

rt-3.8.4/lib Makefile.PL

Scenario 2 (during the ‘make’ or ‘make test’ phase I provided an env
variable for the location of RT.pm):

RTHOME_LIB=/usr/local/src/oppresso/rt-3.8.4/lib make

or

RTHOME_LIB=/usr/local/src/oppresso/rt-3.8.4/lib make test

Neither of the above worked (I am running RT 3.8.4, & using perl
5.8.8). Below are the details for the installation:

The test suite for RT::Crypt::SMIME is realy intended for a development
environment. It’s unfortunate, but I wouldn’t expect it to work on your
live RT instance.

As a heads up, we last qualified it for a customer on 3.6. I don’t know
for sure that it works on 3.8. We could certainly bring it up to date
(or take a patch)

Best,
Jesse

The test suite for RT::Crypt::SMIME is realy intended for a
development
environment. It’s unfortunate, but I wouldn’t expect it to work on
your
live RT instance.

So, if I do a force install and ignore the failing tests, I should
not have any worries about this module performing its functions
properly (i.e., signing, encrypting/decrypting emails encapsulated in
MIME, etc.)?

As a heads up, we last qualified it for a customer on 3.6. I don’t
know
for sure that it works on 3.8. We could certainly bring it up to date
(or take a patch)

I would truly appreciate it if you would be able to update this module
to work with RT 3.8, as we were hoping to use SMIME features of RT.
Incidentally, if this upgrade is not feasible, what do you suggest as
an alternative?

Thanks & Regards,

Absent the caveats I mentioned in my previous message about having not
tested it at all on 3.8 and not knowing if it works, nope.

Sure. Shoot sales@bestpractical.com a note and I’ll make sure that we
get an estimate of the work’s cost to you out to you ASAP.

Incidentally, if this upgrade is not feasible, what do you suggest as
an alternative?

The native PGP support in 3.8 might be an option.
