Summary: Review Request: ocaml-perl4caml - OCaml library for calling Perl libraries and code https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434630 ------- Additional Comments From rjones@xxxxxxxxxx 2008-03-01 08:25 EST ------- > This is yet another package that doesn't specify any version of the LGPL.

I thought that linking with ocaml > libraries might force the issue, but the base ocaml package in rawhide doesn't > even have a valid license tag so that's no help. Disclaimer: I'm upstream maintainer of this package too. The license is the famous LGPLv2+ with exceptions. I've made a new upstream package which adds proper license information to the head of each file.

No it doesn't need the Perl package at build time. At run time also it will work unless of course you actually try to use the specific wrapped module, in which case you'll get a runtime error from Perl when it tries to 'use Net::Google' (or whichever). The basic runtime functionality requires only libperl.so, for which there is an automatically added requires. ---- Here's a new package: Spec URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-perl4caml.spec SRPM URL: http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-perl4caml-0.9.5-1.fc9.src.rpm * Sat Mar 1 2008 Richard W.M.
