I also computed lists of package that should build-require the new dependencies: Packages requiring or providing a Perl module: 3292 packages Packages requiring libperl.so: 491 packages The first set should build-require perl-generators. The second set should build-require perl-devel. After running the editor, it was discovered that 3129 packages must be edited to add missing dependency on perl-devel or perl-generators. I was pondering how to identify packages that should build-require perl and I concluded that it's not easy (perl(:MODULE_COMPAT) constructor is easy, %build section with /^perl / line feasible, but the rest is very fuzzy). At the end, many packages depending on perl-generators will get perl into build root either. So I decided to skip adding "perl" dependency automatically. I reviewed some random packages and the edited changes are correct. But it's not possible to review all them manually. To be sure the changes do not cause any serious problems, I will rebuild the 3292 changed packages locally. After that, I will reset the packages to current dist-git content, run the editor on them again and push the changes. I think pushing the changes will happen in the end of June. -- Petr
