ObXKCD: <https://xkcd.com/1987/> But seriously, I used to use the cpan command to install missing Perl modules. That led to many interesting problems, especially after system updates. I now build my own RPMs (cpanspec is great). The has many advantages: the same software is available on many computers, system and package updates are easy, and the spec file documents how thee software was built. The current Fedora packaging tooling also makes it easy to build Python packages as RPMs. <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/> It would be great if the Fedora project were to emphasize the advantages to sysadmins and developers of build their own RPMs. Jim _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
