Description Petr Pisar 2021-01-11 14:25:35 UTC

perl-Log-Dispatch-2.70-1.fc34 build-requires perl(Apache2::Log). But the dependency is not exhibited when running the tests. The package should stop build-requiring perl(Apache2::Log).

perl-Log-Dispatch-2.70-1.fc34.noarch delivers /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Log/Dispatch/ApacheLog.pm which "require Apache2::Log;", but the package is missing a run-time dependency on perl(Apache2::Log). The package should run-require perl(Apache2::Log).

I recommend splitting the Log/Dispatch/ApacheLog.pm file into a separate subpackage because a transitive dependency on mod_perl would be obtrusive to many users.

I can resolve all these issues for you if you don't mind.

Feel free.

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2021-01-11 14:38:18 UTC

And yet another question: May I disable the Log/Dispatch/ApacheLog.pm subpackage on RHEL ≥ 9? Or you do you want to keep it enabled for EPEL 9?

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2021-01-11 14:42:48 UTC

I'm sure someone will file a bug if it's missed later. :) I think it's fine to exclude it for RHEL 9 now.
