Summary: RFE: add %{?perl_default_filter} to the perl spec
template
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: rpmdevtools
AssignedTo: ville.skytta@xxxxxx
ReportedBy: cweyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx, ville.skytta@xxxxxx
Classification: Fedora
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.
We're working on bundling a set of new macros with the perl package; these
macros will allow us to sensibly filter useless provides out.
http://fedorapeople.org/~cweyl/macros.perl
Please update the perl spec template to conditionally invoke the default perl
filtering macro, by inserting "%{?perl_default_filter} before %description.
Thanks!
