Summary: perl: specfile cleanup and update to 5.8.7 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165907 ------- Additional Comments From altblue@xxxxxxx 2005-08-18 13:55 EST ------- Paul, let's keep it all in one place ;-) > Is there an "approved" way of packaging later versions of specific > modules that are bundled with the perl rpm? This is sometimes needed to > satisfy dependencies, particularly for legacy distros. If there is one, I haven't heard about it. All I know is there were some discussions on this issue on the various RedHat/Fedora mailing lists, but AFAIR there was no (positive) conclusion. So, for what it worths, what I do now is something like: build packages for those updated module replacing the usual %{_mandir} (/usr/share/man) with /usr/local/share/man, replacing %{_bindir} (/usr/bin) with /usr/local/bin, and using vendor install for the modules. It's nasty/ugly/bad/etc ... but it's my (bad) way and "works for me". OFC, this way I cannot either use the stock RH/FC perl package (those missing versions in Obsoletes being an issue). -- 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.
