[PkgEval] ICU may have a testing issue on Julia 0.4 (2014-09-26)

[IainNZ]

PackageEvaluator.jl is a script that runs nightly. It attempts to load all Julia packages and run their tests (if available) on both the stable version of Julia (0.3) and the nightly build of the unstable version (0.4). The results of this script are used to generate a package listing enhanced with testing results.

On Julia 0.4

• On 2014-09-25 the testing status was No tests, but package loads.
• On 2014-09-26 the testing status changed to Package doesn't load.

No tests, but package loads. means that PackageEvaluator did not find tests for your package. However, trying to load your package with using worked.

Package doesn't load. means that PackageEvaluator did not find tests for your package. Additionally, trying to load your package with using failed.

This issue was filed because your testing status became worse. No additional issues will be filed if your package remains in this state, and no issue will be filed if it improves. If you'd like to opt-out of these status-change messages, reply to this message saying you'd like to and @IainNZ will add an exception. If you'd like to discuss PackageEvaluator.jl please file an issue at the repository. For example, your package may be untestable on the test machine due to a dependency - an exception can be added.

Should now use Ptr{Void} instead of Ptr{None}.

[IainNZ]

Ah of course!

[IainNZ]

Whats the right way to fix this, something like

if julia0.4
  const None = Void
end

?

[JeffBezanson]

Just using Ptr{Void} everywhere should work in both versions.
