Summary: Review Request: perl-Spiffy https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183028 ------- Additional Comments From rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-02-27 01:39 EST ------- (In reply to comment #8) > I will add that it looks to me as if the base Fedora Perl package does the same > thing. And it makes sense: a package does "use mixin 'something'", so it needs > the package that supplies perl(mixin), perl(mixin) would correspond to mixin.pm. perl-Spiffy doesn't provide this, as can be easily demonstrated: perl -e 'use mixin' => Letting the rpm "Provide: perl(mixin)" is a bug. > So I think it's perfectly reasonable to have this package provide perl(mixin), > because in reality it does provide perl(mixin). Cf. above. it doesn't. It's packages using perl(Spiffy) which apply magic to access the Spiffy::mixin method as "mixin" => It's those applications which have to "Requires: perl(Spiffy)" to get this working. If rpm generates bogus "Requires: perl(mixin)" for those applications, these have to filter them out. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
