I've just started to dabble with packaging RPMs from CPAN modules and making them available for download (see http://rpm.mag-sol.com/). This had brought up a number of questions that people on this list would probably be best placed to answer.
1/ Currently I've been using cpan2rpm to build the RPMs. Are there any better tools out there? What do you use to create RPMs from CPAN distributions?
2/ Are there any good tools for building web pages from RPMs. I've played with rpm2html but I don't want to my web pages to look like it's still 1998. Something that interfaces with the Template Toolkit would be great, and I'd be happy to write that if it doesn't already exist.
3/ I assume there are standards that define how CPAN modules should be packaged for use with Fedora (I'm largely targeting Fedora - if the RPMs work with other distributions then that's a bonus). Are they documented somewhere?
Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated. Cheers, Dave... -- Site: http://dave.org.uk/ Blog: http://blog.dave.org.uk/
