Description Marius Feraru 2004-11-27 16:00:11 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041114 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
here is the changelog entry from my modified spec:
- added build conditionals: threading, largefiles, test, compat, suid
- cleaned up some "perlver" macro usage
- switched to using the "bz2" source
- made Source to point to the URL on CPAN
- updated Requirements
- tweaked Configure flags: disabled some useless items etc
- switched to using "test-notty" for make-test phase
:: heavy lift-ups in %install stage:
- more useless files are dropped
- eliminated files duplication (replacing them with symlinks)
- fixed POSIX installation
- added more comments :))
- more complete h2ph headers building (using a separate source file
with filenames)
- marked POD files as documentation
- marked libnet as configuration
(more to come in a future sync of my perl packages with Fedora's)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.8.5-10

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
rpm -ql perl

Perl team, please check if any of this is still relevant.
Comment 6 Warren Togami 2005-09-11 10:47:19 UTC 
Closing due to lack of response from original submitter, and things in the perl
package have changed substantially since then.
