https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1385280 --- Comment #10 from Emmanuel Seyman <emmanuel@xxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Van de Bugger from comment #9) > > They are tests, not examples. In practice, they are sometimes the only examples of use of the module. > If original Perl distribution does not install tests, why RPM does it? For the same reason we convert files to UTF-8 or apply patches to better integrate the modules in the system: the benefits for our users outweigh the costs. > Anyway, it is not a reason for installing tests. End-users are not > interested in tests at all. Developers may be interested, but… Did RPM > packager take care about *test dependencies*? We usually use the macro %{?perl_default_filter} in our spec files which tells RPM not to use provides and requires from the documentation. > Indeed, it would be much better to have a policy. That sounds like a job for FESCo. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
