Hi there, I'm creating a specfile for a CPAN module and I'm facing some issues with the Provides: tag. The module I want to package (Nmap::Scanner) creates Perl namespaces on-the-fly using Class::Generate, so the perl.prov script can't detect them. This of course creates an incomplete list of Provides:, which conflicts with the list of Requires:. Therefore the RPM package cannot find the dependencies provided by itself. I would like to know what would be the recommended alternative for adding the missing Provides:. In Bug #167797 [1] there was the alternative of patching the code and submitting the patch upstream. In this case it would be unreasonable, since the module would have to be basically rewritten. Should I just add a bunch of Provides: in the spec header like this? Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Address) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Distance) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::ExtraPorts) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Host) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Hostname) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Hosts) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::NmapRun) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::Class) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::Fingerprint) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::IPIdSequence) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::Match) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::PortUsed) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::TCPSequence) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::TCPTSSequence) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::OS::Uptime) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Port) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::RunStats) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::RunStats::Finished) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::ScanInfo) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Service) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::Task) Provides: perl(Nmap::Scanner::TaskProgress) [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=167797 Thanks, Pedro Padron ppadron@xxxxxxxxxx -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
