Description Ralf Corsepius 2010-12-09 12:44:59 UTC 
Description of problem:

Perl's vendorarch in rawhide is wrong:

f14: perl -V:vendorarch
vendorarch='/usr/lib64/perl5';
f15:  perl -V:vendorarch
vendorarch='/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl';

Expected results:
perl -V:vendorarch
vendorarch='/usr/lib64/perl5';

Additional info:

- To me this is a massive regression.

- I suspect fixing this change will make a mass rebuild inevitable.
Comment 1 Ralf Corsepius 2010-12-09 13:15:26 UTC 
Making this a release blocker.
Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2010-12-09 15:47:35 UTC 
Because we are going to mass rebuild on spring because new perl is going to be released we will adjust installation path selection in spec files of each package at that time.

Till the time we fix this issue by making vendor directories a sym-link into core directories. This will fix not yet rebuilt packages and it will keep running already rebuilt packages.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2010-12-10 08:40:46 UTC 
The symlink way is not feasible with rpm directly. One need to use pre() script to move content, remove the directory and create the symlink. We consider to rebuild all packages not yet rebuild after the vendor symbol redefinition.
Comment 4 Marcela Mašláňová 2011-01-04 09:14:49 UTC 
This issue should be fixed by rebuilt of Perl modules. Please reopen in case there are still problems.
