I am not; this is an EL6 bug, cloned to Fedora for the obvious reasons. In any case, I'm not sure what you mean by "incrementally". The interdependency is circular, so you'll run into it no matter which way you build. > Building from scratch is not supported - period. Then please let me rephrase the bug: 1. perl-Perl-MinimumVersion contains a BuildRequires to perl-Test-MinimumVersion. 2. perl-Test-MinimumVersion is not necessary in order to build perl-Perl-MinimumVersion. 3. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#BuildRequires says "In package development and testing, please verify that your package is not missing any *necessary* build dependencies" (my emphasis). Therefore the explicit "'BuildRequires: perl(Test::MinimumVersion)'" in perl-Perl-MinimumVersion.spec is wrong. The same can be said about more of these packages. -- 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
