Description

perl-Crypt-Random depends on perl-Math-Pari and I'd really rather not have to maintain that in EPEL-8 as it currently only builds against an old compat package for libpari. The dependency seems to come from perl-Crypt-PWSafe3, which itself prefers to use perl-Bytes-Random-Secure over perl-Crypt-Random if it's available. Unfortunately the Crypt-PWSafe3 dist still has a hard dependency on Crypt::Random but I'd rather put my effort into fixing that than building Crypt-Random and Math-Pari in EPEL-8. perl-Bytes-Random-Secure has further dependencies: * perl(Crypt::Random::Seed) * perl(Statistics::Basic) They don't look too onerous though. Would you be OK with this approach (I can help) or would you prefer to stick with Crypt::Random and you can be branch maintainer, along with perl-Math-Pari and libpari23?

Thanks for explaining the situation. I'd be happy to fix perl-Crypt-PWSafe3. Are you suggesting changing Crypt::PWSafe to prefer Bytes::Random::Secure instead of Crypt::Random?

Yes, if you're happy with this approach I'll work on a PR to send upstream to perl-Crypt-PWSafe3 so it'll be happy with not having Crypt::Random available. I can then work on getting the dependencies of perl-Bytes-Random-Secure into EPEL-8. (In reply to Paul Howarth from comment #3) > (In reply to Charles R.
