I just want to throw this idea out for everyone to consider. I'm not 100% happy with it, but I can't say I'm 100% happy with any other solution I've seen. Let me state for the record that TMTOWTDI, but I'm looking for something that I can script in cpanspec, that doesn't litter %_sourcedir, that honors %__perl_requires, and that isn't *too* ugly. I'm using the perl-Kwiki-Raw package (not yet submitted, but available at http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-Kwiki-Raw/) as my test. In it, I need to filter a dependency on "perl(mixin)". First, I added the following to the spec: Source1: filter-requires.sh %global real_perl_requires %{__perl_requires} %define __perl_requires %{SOURCE1} Then, in %prep, added the following: sed -i -e 's,@@PERL_REQ@@,%{real_perl_requires},' %{SOURCE1} The filter_requires.sh looks like this: #!/bin/sh @@PERL_REQ@@ "$@" | sed -e '/^perl(mixin)$/d' Yes, this changes filter-requires.sh, so any source rpm built from this will have @@PERL_REQ@@ pre-substituted, but is that really a major problem?
