1243051 - Create one off script to output cpanfile with all modules and their current versions to be used for version pinning

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

We need a script that will output a cpanfile that contains the required/recommended module dependencies. If installed it should add the versions of the currently installed modules to the file so that those versions will be chosen when building a new system. Another reason for doing this is so we can move away from self-built RPMs and use known working modules on all new BMO webheads.

Basically lifted code mostly from Bugzilla::Install::Requirements. The end-goal of this would be we would have:

1) Ops run this script on the production webheads
2) Check the resulting cpanfile into git and use that in future new installs instead of './checksetup.pl --cpanfile'.
3) At periodic intervals, we update our test instance to the latest modules, run the full test suite, and check in a new cpanfile with the updated versions.

Sound good?
