So called "red-hat perl" is popular again on Perl porters. I guess if you have any proposals about Perl packaging, now it's the best time to say so. The main problem is that 'yum install perl' doesn't install whole Perl tarball. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: (WTF?) ExtUtils::MakeMaker not included in recent red-hat perl releases Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:39:21 +0100 From: demerphq <demerphq@xxxxxxxxx> To: Perl5 Porteros <perl5-porters@xxxxxxxx> CC: Ricardo SIGNES <perl.p5p@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> It seems that Red-Hat has decided to release Perl without ExtUtils::MakeMaker being included. This is IMO really bad, and shows the real need for us to provide guidance to repackagers, something that has been discussed in the past, but never went anywhere as far as I know due to a lack of consensus. I think this decision by Red-Hat is strong indication that we should draw up a document for repackagers to use and explain that certain modules MUST always be provided, ExtUtils::MakeMaker IMO being one of them. cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/" -- 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
