Comment 1 Bernard Johnson 2007-06-16 22:20:26 UTC

This appears to be a simple fix... 

either

a) request perl-IO-Multiplex to be branched and built for epel4

or

b) change requires on perl(IO::Multiplext) to:
# build for epel5 using perl(IO::Multiplex)
%{?el5: Requires: perl(IO::Multiplex)}


I don't see the point in allowing the repository to be broken for long periods
of time - especially for epel.

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-06-17 00:02:28 UTC

Oops, I'm not supposed to handle Net-Server EPEL bugs, seems the default
bugzilla owner is wrong

Anyway: IO::Multiplex is in FE and F≥7. It's an optional run-time dep. Fedora
Net::Server depends on IO::Multiplex because IO::Multiplex is available in the
Fedora repo (see bug #174099). Indeed latest Fedora-Devel added IO::Multiplex as
BR so corresponding tests are run at build time.

EPEL can do the same of choose not to depend on IO::Multiplex. That's really up
to the EPEL maintainer. I personally would not have bumped the EPEL Net::Server
version over the version of the package in the Fedora release corresponding RHEL
was derived from (or at least taken the Fedora Devel package as source instead
of branching from an old package), so obviously our packaging styles differ.

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2007-06-18 15:44:54 UTC

So sorry about this everyone. ;( 

I should have been listed as the epel owner, not sure what happened there, but I
will get it fixed up. 

I will get this cleaned up asap.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2007-06-18 18:07:18 UTC

ok. Owner should be set now. 

I have pushed new builds that hopefully fix this issue. 
Please let me know if you spot any further problems. 

Sorry again for the delay here.
