Summary: perl: specfile cleanup and update to 5.8.7 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165907 ------- Additional Comments From jpo@xxxxxxxxxxxx 2005-08-13 17:35 EST ------- Current status: The first patch has already been applied (see perl-5.8.6-16.src.rpm in rawhide) First patch summary: perl-5.8.6-15 => perl-5.8.6-16 =================================================== * Specfile reformatted - in particular grouped all the patches together * Full URL of the perl 5.8.6 tarball * %build section - moved the mkdir commands that appeared before the Configure line into the %install section - Configure command argument changes -Dversion -Dinstallprefix (make install DESTDIR=$RPM_... in %install) * %install section - make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT - no longer creates MANIFEST.all - dropped compression of the man pages * %files section - no longer uses MANIFEST.all for the perl package - no longer uses MANIFEST.suidperl for the perl-suidperl subpackage * Source files no longer needed - Source1: clean-manifest.pl - Source9: MANIFEST.suidperl - Source10: system-owned-directories Other notes: * didn't move "make test" into the %check section Reason: the perl building process prints a message if the "make install" step is started without having executed "make test" before Wish/pending list: * mark libnet.cfg as a configuration file? maybe move it to /etc and create a symbolic link to it? * reformat/clean the %install section I don't have access to a x86_64 (or 64 bit) machine to test the multilib stuff * mark pod files as docs should be done at the RPM level - other perl packages (and maybe Ruby) would also profit from it -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
