I don't think it's that bad. In my local Module::Build (0.4000) package
I have:
%global perl_module_version 0.40
# Account for differences between rpm and perl versioning
%if "%{version}" != "%{perl_module_version}"
Provides: perl(Module::Build) = %{version}
%endif
So I end up with provides of both 0.40 and 0.4000, which rpmlint moans
about but is otherwise harmless I think.
If it was only one module. But perl-Module-Build provides more versioned
modules. It's inconsistent to mangle only one of them (though probably no
other package build-requires the the other modules with a specific version).
I've seen a BR: perl(Module::Build::Compat) >= 0.02 but that's not an
issue, though there may be others out there somewhere.
And if we choose this way, we will need to support it forever.
True.
(2) contrack version to 0.39 and increase epoch (both package and
Provides). That means adding epoch to provides which again requires
painful Provides editing as in (1).
(3) keep short 0.39, increase package epoch only and remove the
version constrain from build-requires of above listed packages.
I like the last option.
As do I, though I would suggest bumping the version requirement to the
next highest 2-digit version rather than dropping the version
requirement completely.
I don't understand. What's the purpose of bumping `BuildRequires
perl(Module::Build)>= 0.36' to `>= 0.37'? Or did you mean to rewrite all the
build-requires requires the latest version of perl-Module-Build (>= 0.39)?
No, I meant leaving that alone but changing:
BuildRequires: perl(Module::Build) >= 0.3603
to:
BuildRequires: perl(Module::Build) >= 0.37
rather than just dropping the version requirement.
Paul.
