https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1481324 Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED --- Comment #18 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to Jan Pazdziora from comment #16) > If things have changed since the RHEL 6 days and -lgdbm has been removed > from $Config{libs} / $Config{perllibs} in the mean time, That's not true and won't be for any foreseenable future. Changing the values is task for Perl authors, not Fedora or any other GNU/Linux distribution. Therefore I pointed Tomasz to upstream. > I guess it makes sense under the consistency umbrella to remove the Requires > form perl-devel as well. The implication is fine. The problem what if we remove the dependency even if $Config{libs} contains -lgdbm. That's the root of the problem we talk about. It's not a problem for me because in my opinion the variables are not supposed to be used for linking (non-core/any) Perl modules. But that was not your opinion. Therefore I raised the question to you. If I understand you correctly, you has not changed you opinion. My plan is to ask Perl authors for the $Config{libs} / $Config{perllibs} semantics, whether they are supposed to be used like XML-LibXSLT does. If I get negative or no answer, I will remove the dependency from perl-devel package. -- 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
