+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #952281 +++ This package bundles Perl sources obfuscated using App::FatPacker, which makes it very difficult to review. Please remove the obfuscated code and replace it with proper dependencies. (I have verified that the bundled version of Parse/CPAN/Meta.pm is actually used by putting a "die;" into it, which was executed.) --- Additional comment from Petr Pisar on 2013-04-15 16:59:46 CEST --- Can you explain the subject "Does not build from source code"? --- Additional comment from Florian Weimer on 2013-04-15 17:07:29 CEST --- bin/cpanm contains stuff like this: use 5.006;use strict;use warnings;package CPAN::Meta::Converter;our$VERSION='2.130880';use CPAN::Meta::Validator;use CPAN::Meta::Requirements;use version 0.88 ();use Parse::CPAN::Meta 1.4400 ();sub _dclone {my$ref=shift;no warnings 'once';local*UNIVERSAL::TO_JSON=sub {return "$_[0]"};my$backend=Parse::CPAN::Meta->json_backend();return$backend->new->utf8->decode($backend->new->utf8->allow_blessed->convert_blessed->encode($ref))}my%known_specs=('2'=>'http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CPAN::Meta::Spec','1.4'=>'http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html','1.3'=>'http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.3.html[…] I don't consider this source code. The bundling of human-readable sources (as in previous versions) is problematic as well: <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries> --- Additional comment from Petr Pisar on 2013-04-15 17:22:15 CEST --- I see.
Unbundling this package will require to add following new modules: aliased CPAN::DistnameInfo CPAN::Meta::Check Module::CPANfile version::vpp That will require: Add perl-aliased Add perl-CPAN-DistnameInfo Add perl-CPAN-Meta-Check Add perl-Module-CPANfile Rebase perl-version to 0.9903. Those new package do not need any new dependencies.
Resolving this issue requires adding new packages into the distribution. Because Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 entered a maintenance phase 1 where no new features in a software are added, this request won't be fulfilled and will be closed. Please note that the reported issue does not manifest in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 where the package code is properly unbundled.
