Summary: RFE: please deliver (and use!) filtering macros https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502402 Summary: RFE: please deliver (and use!) filtering macros Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: perl AssignedTo: mmaslano@xxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: cweyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: skasal@xxxxxxxxxx, tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx, rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx, fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx, mmaslano@xxxxxxxxxx, lkundrak@xxxxx Classification: Fedora Created an attachment (id=345264) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=345264) spec patch arch-specific perl-* packages often have library provides picked up and exposed vi rpm's autoprov system, where it shouldn't; that is, these provides are useless, not in the system lib path, and will never be used for proper perl dependency resolution. e.g. perl-YAML-Syck.i386 provides Syck.so(), mod_perl provides a slew of them, etc. These macros will allow us to sensibly filter useless provides out: http://fedorapeople.org/~cweyl/macros.perl The core perl package should deliver /etc/rpm/macros.perl, as above, and employ them to clean up its errant provides. I've attached a patch that does that, as well as the additional %SOURCEs needed; a scratch build of the modifications has been run. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1375064 Thanks! :) -- 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
