Description Petr Pisar 2017-04-06 12:43:36 UTC
Latest Fedora delivers 0.07 version. Upstream released 0.08. When you have free time, please upgrade it.

Also please consider enabling release monitoring <https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/perl-Authen-CAS-Client/> to receive notifications about new releases automatically.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2017-06-26 13:07:40 UTC
perl-Authen-CAS-Client-0.07-4.fc27 fails to build in F27 because Perl 5.26.0 removed "." from @INC:

Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.u1oviC
+ umask 022
+ cd /builddir/build/BUILD
+ cd Authen-CAS-Client-0.07
+ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor --skipdeps
Can't locate inc/Module/Install.pm in @INC (you may need to install the inc::Module::Install module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at Makefile.PL line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 4.

0.08 should fix it. I will upgrade it.

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2017-06-26 13:27:53 UTC
Actually upgrade is impossible because upstream changed license to this text:

This software is information.
It is subject only to local laws of physics.

This does not give Fedora permissions to distribute or modify. Reported upstream as CPAN RT#122237.

Comment 3 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2023-04-26 00:21:23 UTC
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2023-04-26 10:48:28 UTC
I'm for removing this package from Fedora because upstream is unwilling to apply a free license and calls CPAN and other distributors to stop distributing the package <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=122237#txn-1789298>. It seems that nothing depends on this package in Fedora 39.

Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2023-05-02 08:51:30 UTC
I removed this package from Fedora 39.
