Bug 237352 (perl-MooseX-Getopt)

It's possible that this is not a problem, but I'd sure look into it (Fedora 6):

+ /usr/bin/perl Build.PL installdirs=vendor
 - ERROR: Getopt::Long (2.35) is installed, but we need version >= 2.36

ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES.  You may wish to install the versions
of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation


If it can be /verified/ to work correctly with perl(Getopt::Long) = 2.35, then
patch the Makefile.PL to change the required version.

If it must have 2.36 or better, then maybe you only intend to build for newer
versions of perl?  If that is the case, a BR with the required version number
should be used.

Yeah -- I took a good look at this when putting the srpm together.  It looks
like, aside from bugfixes, the main changes to Getopt::Long 2.36 vs 2.35 is the
addition of GetOptionsFromArray and GetOptionsFromString...  A quick grep of the
code turned up neither of these.

In any case, I just filed a "seriously?" bug with upstream:

=== Issues ===
1. Patch Build.PL to require a lower version of perl(Getopt::Long) so that the
testing won't complain.
2. Document why you are doing this including your bug report (Note that self
tests pass otherwise)

=== Final Notes ===
1. Be prepared to submit patches to the core perl package of every %dist that
you build for if problems appear with using perl(Getopt::Long) = 2.35 (if it's
because of a bug), or be prepared to patch around it in this package if needed.
2. Watch very carefully when you schedule the build to make sure that the self
tests still pass on each %dist.

If we are on the same page here, I'll approve the package.

Gotcha.  I'm not worried about the version of Getopt::Long; my own usage (not to
mention the non-trivial test suite) both indicate to me that 2.35 is just fine.
 I'll give upstream a couple days to respond to the bug I filed with them, then
move forward with this.

I think we both have a comfort zone about this, but I'm just stating for the
record for what /might/ happen if we are both wrong :)


Ping me when you are ready to proceed and we'll take it up from there.

No problem :)

The author just released 0.03, explicitly downgrading the Getopt::Long
requirement in Build.PL -- I think we're safe to proceed here.

If you don't mind, throw up a 0.03 srpm and I will mockbuild it and check the
md5 sigs.
