[PkgEval] StrPack may have a testing issue on Julia 0.4 (2014-10-08)

[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 2014-10-05 the testing status was Tests pass.
• On 2014-10-08 the testing status changed to Tests fail, but package loads.

Tests pass. means that PackageEvaluator found the tests for your package, executed them, and they all passed.

Tests fail, but package loads. means that PackageEvaluator found the tests for your package, executed them, and they didn't pass. However, trying to load your package with using worked.

Special message from @IainNZ: This change may be due to breaking changes to Dict in JuliaLang/julia#8521, or the removal of deprecated syntax in JuliaLang/julia#8607.

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.

I'll get this fixed in the Next Big Update I've been trying to work on for the past month or so. Looks like I may have some free time to finish that up in the next few days. Thanks!
