Description Jose Pedro Oliveira 2005-12-19 20:22:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
The perl module String::CRC32 is being shipped inside lftp 3.3.x.
It makes harder to update perl-String-CRC32 and/or lftp and for other packagers
to keep track of perl module versions shiped in Fedora Core (eg: for Fedora
Extras).

Also the perl module is being installed in the wrong directory tree:
it shopuld be installed under the vendor directories and not in site
directories:

$ rpm -qpl lftp-3.3.5-1.i386.rpm  | grep perl
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi/String/CRC32.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi/String/CRC32.pod
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/String/CRC32/CRC32.so


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rawhide: lftp-3.3.x 
 
Expected results:
Ship the perl module String::CRC32 in its own RPM (perl-String-CRC32)

Comment 1 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2005-12-19 20:24:17 UTC 
Created attachment 122421 [details]
perl-String-CRC32 specfile

perl-String-CRC32 specfile using the Fedora Extras' template
(the dist tag variable needs to be dropped).
Comment 2 Jason Vas Dias 2005-12-19 22:41:04 UTC 
OK, perl-String-CRC32 CVS imported, should be in devel soon .
Comment 3 Jason Vas Dias 2005-12-20 20:32:11 UTC 
New perl-String-CRC32-1.3-1 RPM, and lftp-3.3.5-2 which does not Provide:
perl-String-CRC32, now in Rawhide.
Comment 4 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2005-12-21 14:27:13 UTC 
Jason,

Thanks.
Comment 5 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2006-01-06 15:38:36 UTC 
Jason,

There is no bugzilla component for perl-String-CRC32 (the current license
information is wrong).
Comment 6 Jason Vas Dias 2006-01-10 17:35:32 UTC 
Jose -
Sorry, but I don't see anything wrong with the license string -
MANY (if not most) perl modules have the 'GPL or Artistic' license.

AFAIK, adding a bugzilla component is not automatic - I've emailed the
bugzilla maintainer and a new component for perl-String-CRC32 should be
added shortly.

Thanks,
Jason

But this is not the case. Check the copyright section in the main POD page:

Comment 8 Jason Vas Dias 2006-01-10 18:49:37 UTC 
OK, there is now a perl-String-CRC32 component in bugzilla. 

About the license, yes, sorry, I guess it isn't GPL - should it be 'distributable' 
? I'll make it so in the next version unless I hear otherwise.
(Personally, I can't see that it makes much difference - the author is careful
 to make the correct attributions to derived work, so I guess he'd like others
 to do the same for String::CRC32 - which is all GPL really means :-)

Rpmlint doesn't complain if the license is "Public Domain".  It was this
license that has been specified in the Fedora Extras' perl-String-CRC32
copy (FC-3 and FC-4 branches).

Jason,

Regarding the second part of comment #9:
Do you want me to open a ticket against perl-String-CRC32?

Comment 11 Jason Vas Dias 2006-01-19 19:43:48 UTC 
Jose - OK, I'll change the license string to 'Public Domain' with 
perl-String-CRC32-1.3-2.FC5 .
Comment 12 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2006-01-21 03:30:50 UTC 
Thanks.
