convert to CPAN Testers 2.0 (CPANTS)

I woke up to find a bevy of "Mail Delivery Failure" messages in my inbox. Seems the cpan-test reports I emailed in bounced back because cpan tester 2.0 dropped support of incoming email reports in favor of http. I'm excited to hear about this http switch, as I hated not being able to send test reports from machines that lacked email configurations.

This message was created automatically by the mail system (ecelerity).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

>>> cpan-testers@perl.org (after RCPT TO): 550 cpan-testers no longer accepts test submissions via email. Please convert to CPAN Testers 2.0 and the http submission method. Instructions are at:
   http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/QuickHowToCT20.

Let's follow the wiki article: http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/QuickHowToCT20 and get upgraded!

Upgrade steps for a current CPAN::Reporter user:

1. Upgrade CPAN::Reporter, add Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase module
# check current version:
% perl -MCPAN::Reporter -l -e 'print $CPAN::Reporter::VERSION'
1.1711
#upgrade
% cpanm CPAN::Reporter
...
Successfully installed CPAN::Reporter
% cpanm Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase

2. create a profile using 'metabase-profile', put it into location.
   % metabase-profile
Enter full name: ...

Enter password/secret: ...
Writing profile to 'metabase_id.json'
% mkdir ~/.cpantesters
% mv metabase_id.json ~/.cpantesters
% chmod 400 ~/.cpantesters/metabase_id.json

3. upgrade my ~/.cpanreporter/config.ini file to add a transport line
   #add transport line to my ~/.cpanreporter/config.ini file
% echo 'transport = Metabase uri https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1 id_file ~/.cpantesters/metabase_id.json' >> ~/.cpanreporter/config.ini

4. Test
cpan Hadoop::Streaming
...
CPAN::Reporter: Test result is 'pass', All tests successful.
CPAN::Reporter: preparing a CPAN Testers report for Hadoop-Streaming-0.102520
CPAN::Reporter: ssending test report with 'pass' via Metabase
...
5. Verify Test : Check metabase tail log for my entry.
% wget --quiet http://metabase.cpantesters.org/tail/log.txt -O- | grep -i grangaard
