Bug 808886

Upstream is messing with me. CPAN-Meta-Requirements used to be Version-Requirements. It was merged into CPAN-Meta and has now been split back out again with the new name. There's an explicit Conflicts in the spec to ensure that CPAN-Meta-Requirements doesn't implicitly conflict with CPAN-Meta < 2.120921.

This will also need to be sub-packaged in perl.spec for 5.16 and possibly 5.14.3.

Let's add perl-sig to the CC as this affects perl.spec.

perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements-2.121-1

== review checklist ==

- rpmlint OK
- spec file and package naming OK
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license is valid for Fedora and matches upstream
- upstream LICENSE file is included in package
- spec file written in English and is legible
- sources match upstream, as does tarball timestamp
- package builds fine in mock on both i386 and x86_64
- buildreqs are complete
- no locale data, libraries, devel files etc. to worry about
- package is not intended to be relocatable
- directory ownership is correct
- no duplicate files included
- permissions are sane
- macro usage is consistent
- package is code, not content
- no large docs to consider
- docs don't affect runtime
- not a GUI app, no desktop file needed
- filenames are all plain ASCII
- CPAN::Meta 2.120921 builds successfully using this package
- no scriptlets or sub-packages present nor needed
- no file dependencies present
- module ships with manpage

== nits ==

- %{?perl_default_filter} isn't really needed by this package, though it
  does no harm either
- I don't know what the use of the %{__perl} macro buys us really
- There's no need to remove empty directories from the buildroot; even
  ancient versions of rpm like the one in Red Hat Linux 9 didn't complain
  about them

In my local build of this package I also run the author/release tests. I
appreciate that it doesn't do much to improve the test coverage of *this*
package, but it does improve the test coverage of the release test packages
that are used to do the testing, resulting in issues like Bug #786849 being
discovered and fixed.

Anyway, no blockers here.

APPROVED.

I just automatically add it to every package - as you say, no harm.

> - I don't know what the use of the %{__perl} macro buys us really

Me either. The guidelines state that %{__python} is acceptable, so presumably %{__perl} is too. But in either case, we've got a lot of work if the binaries are moved or renamed.

That's good to know. Another anachronism that can be dropped.

Interesting thought. And as a soon-to-be-core module, there's a better than normal chance that the extra tests will continue to work in future. My only concern would be introducing circular dependencies - but a quick repoquery doesn't show anything too worrying. I guess I'll go ahead and do it.

Thanks for the review.

That's my concern too, so I've been working on a script to evaluate the build order and spot circular build dependencies for my local repo, and manually inserting conditional buildreqs based on %{?perl_bootstrap} where appropriate. I've worked out that I can rebuild my repo in 27 passes at the moment, plus an extra one to rebuild without %{?perl_bootstrap} set afterwards.

I'm now going to look at doing something similar for Rawhide, which I'll hopefully have ready by the time it comes to do the rebuild for Perl 5.16.

Wow, that would be great. Petr P was looking at it too, but I'm not sure how far is he.
