The perl dependencies generator doesn't take into account the exec bit since .pm are not executables in general. > Should I fight against the dependency generator somehow? gzipping the examples, > rot13-encoding, renaming them, clearing the #! line or whatever... ??? I don't think so. > Or is it enough to file a bug aginst the buggy dependency generator? The bug I see is that rpmlint should say that perl(MyHTML) and perl(MyVisitor) are doc file Provides dependencies, I don't see a bug in the dependency generator. And the rpmlint explanation is untrue, but rpmlint cannot know about all dependency generators, especially those that are customized. > To sum up, I still apply for the approval of the package in its current state > in the cvs. The perl(MyHTML) and perl(MyVisitor) provides should be removed. They are bogus provides, even though rpmlint doesn't find them... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl Fedora-perl-devel-list mailing list Fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-perl-devel-list
