Summary: Review Request: perl-Spiffy https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183028 ------- Additional Comments From tibbs@xxxxxxxxxxx 2006-02-27 14:52 EST ------- Look, he's trying to come up with a solution that doesn't involve hacking 130 downstream packages. If you don't want to be constructive then please just don't post. Steve, I'm working on filtering the requires and it's really simple; you just need six lines in %prep. Looking through what other packages in Core and Extras do, I see that this is really very common: cat << EOF > %{name}-req #!/bin/sh %{__perl_requires} $* | sed -e '/perl(mixin)/d' EOF %define __perl_requires %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/%{name}-req chmod +x %{__perl_requires} (You can also reference an external script as %{SOURCE99} if you find emitting it from the spec distasteful.) Finally, I was hacking on the packages and noticed that Spiffy also provides perl(DB), which I think is broken. (It overrides the super() method in the DB package, and so it has a "package DB" statement which RPM turns into Provides: perl(DB).) This has the capacity to break other things, so Spiffy is definitely going to need a __perl_provides override as well: cat <<XXX > %{name}-prov #!/bin/sh %{__perl_provides} $* | sed -e '/perl(DB)/d' XXX %define __perl_provides %{_builddir}/Spiffy-%{version}/%{name}-prov chmod +x %{__perl_provides} With this, things are working cleanly. I know it's a pain to have to do this in all of the modules, but I think this is going to be the only way to move forward. I will try to get these overrides into the Perl template and I suggest that they get into cpanspec as well. -- 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
