https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998410 Bug ID: 998410 Summary: Review Request: perl-Carp-Fix-1_25 - Smooth over incompatible changes in Carp 1.25 Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: notting@xxxxxxxxxx, package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: http://subversion.city-fan.org/repos/cfo-repo/perl-Carp-Fix-1_25/branches/fedora/perl-Carp-Fix-1_25.spec SRPM URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Carp-Fix-1_25/perl-Carp-Fix-1_25-1.000001-2.fc20.src.rpm Description: Carp 1.25 made a change to its formatting, adding a period at the end of the message. This can mess up tests and code that are looking for error messages. Carp::Fix::1_25 makes the message consistent, regardless of what version of Carp you're using. Carp::Fix::1_25 exports its own carp functions, which change the Carp message to match the 1.25 version. Carp::Fix::1_25 otherwise acts exactly like Carp and it will honor Carp global variables such as @CARP_NOT and %%Carp::Internal. Why do this instead of just upgrading Carp? Upgrading Carp would affect all installed code all at once. You might not be ready for that, or you might not want your module to foist that on its users. This lets you fix things one namespace at a time. Fedora Account System Username: pghmcfc -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
