Not at all, if there's a complete upstream source and it works again.

Heh, I'm quite sure this was the first time someone used the -r
option since we converted from svn to git last July :)
Thank you!

Same here, and "t/00-stage.t .. No subtests run" is not particularly
helpful :/

Playing with the test:

BEGIN { use_ok( 'Clutter' ); } 

eval { Clutter->init(undef) };
warn "Uh-oh: $@" if $@;

use_ok works; the eval leads to:
... nothing when I try it again; the first time it complained about
init somehow.

Sorry, no idea :/


Cheers,
