Hello... Who does the perl modules and/or cpanflute for the RH releases? The reason I ask is I tweeked cpanflute and i thought the maintainer might like it. Basically, when cpanflute if run it looks for a 'package'.requires and a 'package'.build file. The contents look like this: [chrismcc@buildmachine SPECS.add]$ cat libwww-perl.requires BuildPreReq: perl(Digest::MD5) perl(HTML::Parser) perl(MIME::Base64) perl(URI) BuildPreReq: perl(Net::FTP) >= 2.58 perl(Compress::Zlib) Requires: perl(Digest::MD5) perl(HTML::Parser) perl(MIME::Base64) perl(URI) Requires: perl(Net::FTP) >= 2.58 perl(Compress::Zlib) [chrismcc@buildmachine SPECS.add]$ cat libwww-perl.build CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" perl Makefile.PL -n <<EOF n EOF This gets automagically included in the spec file As it is now, you can install perl-foo-1.2.3.i386.rpm. But if that perl module really needs bar.pm to work, perl-foo apears broken. make sense? We use perl a lot. I have found this makes my life a lot easier. For instance, when there is a new release of perl-DBI that one of the developers just can't live without, I don't have to remember that I also need perl(Net::Daemon) perl(Storable) perl(Bundle::PlRPC) to go with it. rpm --rebuild perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg.src.rpm Installing perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg.src.rpm error: failed build dependencies: perl(Net::Daemon) is needed by perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg perl(Storable) is needed by perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg perl(Bundle::PlRPC) is needed by perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg sudo rpm -ivh perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg.i386.rpm Password(for chrismcc): error: failed dependencies: perl(Net::Daemon) is needed by perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg perl(Storable) is needed by perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg perl(Bundle::PlRPC) is needed by perl-DBI-1.20-11.04pg -- Christopher McCrory "The guy that keeps the servers running" chrismcc@pricegrabber.com http://www.pricegrabber.com Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.
