I've just received a bug report on perl-MailTools requesting that it
own %{perl_vendorlib}/auto since it places directories and files
(resulting from autosplit) under there (#213561).
The bug report suggests a few options:
1. Own %{perl_vendorlib}/auto in my own package.
2. Try to get the Core perl package to own it.
3. Move the files concerned to somewhere else, such as
%{perl_vendorarch)/auto.
Option 3 is a non-starter, at least with respect to using
%{perl_vendorarch), since perl-MailTools is a noarch package.
I could go with option 1 but option 2 looks the most sensible to me.
Any other suggestions?
Well, perl already owns the other 'auto' directories for pretty much the
same reason:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=73970
I don't see any reason not to do the same thing here and go with option
#2
Ok, though I don't think I can reassign a bug from an Extras package to
a Core one; how about I reopen #73970 and then mark #213561 as a
duplicate of that?
Any objections?
No, but .. are you sure the perl-Mail*'s auto aren't bugs?
At least I am not.
I'm not sure. Where *should* autosplit-ted bits of noarch packages go?
Paul.
