Summary: cpanspec doesn't escape "/" in --filter-requires leading to bad sed statements https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544738 Summary: cpanspec doesn't escape "/" in --filter-requires leading to bad sed statements Product: Fedora Version: 12 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: cpanspec AssignedTo: steve@xxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: steve@xxxxxxxxx, fedora-perl-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Classification: Fedora Description of problem: cpanspec translates each "--filter-requires some_string" into a corresponding sed statement in the corresponding perl-<module>-requires.sh of form: -e '/^some-string$/d' However, when some_string is a path which then contains a slash "/", this causes the sed statement to mess up. In particular, one of the fuse modules I was compiling had some example perl scripts which began with the line "#/usr/bin/perl." This caused the build to then require "/usr/bin/perl" which I wanted to eliminate. When I added "--filter-requires /usr/bin/perl", it caused *all* the sed statements to fail with the error: sed: -e expression #1, char 4: unknown command: `u' Either the documentation should warn that "/" must be escaped or *better*, the script should automatically escape the forward slashes since the user has no reason to think that "/" is a special character (and indeed, sed could have used just about any character to demarcate the s program) -- 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
