Breaking perl...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So,

I was waiting for feedback on the latest iteration of the perl spec file
before proceeding, but I haven't really gotten any - I guess people are
generally busy with their day jobs, etc.  However, we need to make a
call here with the perl spec file.  The way things are now, if we build
and release the current version, we'll break builds of various perl
modules unless:

o We add back perl-devel and some of the other subpackages as Requires
for the main perl spec file.

o We get those packages added to the standard buildroots - since perl is
already considered standard, it isn't really a stretch to me for the
-devel and related packages to be there too.

o We get package owners to add perl-devel + co to their package
BuildRequires sections.

We need to pick one of those three options (or a better one) and
communicate it to the Fedora community to proceed if we're going to use
the new perl for F7.
