There is a developer release of CPANPLUS::YACSmoke available on CPAN. If you are a CPAN Tester using CPANPLUS to smoke test then can you give it a go.
It has been tested against both the current release 0.84 and current development release 0.85_04 of CPANPLUS without any problems
The big improvement in this release is to CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke, the CPANPLUS distribution class that integrates CPAN testing services into CPANPLUS, which now will trust the build directory for a distribution if it has previously been prepared, built and tested successfully.
This feature gives a considerable boost to the speed of CPAN smoke testing and brings to CPANPLUS based smoke testing functionality that CPAN/CPAN::Reporter have had for a while now.
There is still an issue with fetching and extraction of distributions and a patch to resolve this issue has been upstreamed to CPANPLUS.
