Correct - Fedora's perl is being built incrementally. Bootstrapping has never been a requirement. > The question is, > what to do with that (or if any action is necessary). Nothing, because such circular dependencies can stretch accross very long dependency chains and are a moving target (Perl deps vanish and popup all of the time). If you want to do something systematically, we could add a %bcond_without boottrap conditional which would be supposed to switch-off known circular dependencies by if the person who is bootstrapping from scratch explictly demands. Also note that this warning: t/99_pmv.t ........ skipped: Test::MinimumVersion 0.008 a) is a just a warning b) stems from a maintainer test (Ignorable). Openly said, I am inclined to close this BZ as "WONTFIX". -- 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 perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
