Description Robert Scheck 2009-06-05 06:53:55 UTC
Description of problem:
Please build latest perl-Math-BigInt-GMP for EPEL 4 and 5. As the %check
section doesn't work on EPEL 4 and 5, I'm suggesting the following block
to use instead:

%if 0%{?fedora}%{?rhel} > 5
%check
make test
%endif

And the %{fixperm} thing maybe doesn't exist on EPEL 4 as well, there could
be chmod -R u+w $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/* get necessary.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Math-BigInt-GMP-1.24-1

Additional info:
Please let me know, if you just don't want to be the maintainer for the 
perl-Math-BigInt-GMP EPEL packages...

Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2009-06-05 08:37:00 UTC
Math::BigInt::GMP requires Math::BigInt >= 1.87, which is not available in either EL-4 or EL-5. Since it's also a core module bundled with the main perl package, there's not much chance of that changing either.

I suspect that's why the test suite fails too.

%{_fixperms} works all the way back to Red Hat Linux 7 and maybe further (I don't have anything older to hand at the moment).

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2009-06-05 09:43:16 UTC
Even it requires Math::BigInt >= 1.87 for some of the functionalities, it
works for most of them with older Math::BigInt and gets down the 10 seconds
from Net::SSH::Perl when using without Math::BigInt::GMP to ~ 1.5 seconds.
So there's definately an improvement and a reason to have that package at
EPEL. Regarding %{_fixperms}, that's possible, I didn't investigate into this.
