User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
here is the changelog entry from my spec patch:
- "fixed" group (playing by the rules, "Applications/CPAN" is NOT valid)
- switched Requirements to perl modules, not package names
- updated Requirements versions
- dropped external requires filter (hooked it inside spec)
- dropped BuildRequires: perl (it's already required by rpm-build)
- dropped useless bits
- optional make test
- enhanced files removal procedure
- dropped empty directories
- enhanced files list build procedure: claim every non-system-owned
file/directory, mark every POD file as documentation etc


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.79-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
rpm -qil perl-libwww-perl

sorry about the previous one, i seem to have reverted at some point the Group
modification.

We are moving away from filelists and basing all perl module specs on the spec
template.

Comment 4 Ville Skyttä 2005-04-03 21:13:24 UTC
I think marking *.pod as %doc, at least when they're installed below one of the
perl install dirs, would be useful.

  rpm --showrc | grep -P 'perl_\w+(arch|lib)'

But doing that in each and every perl-* specfile is not so cool; it'd be better
to enhance rpmbuild to take care of that automagically.

Comment 5 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2005-08-29 19:34:04 UTC
Marius,

Can we close this ticket?  The latest version of perl-libwww-perl already
corrects most of the issues reported in comment #1 (the pod files being the big
exception).

See also #150363.

Comment 6 Warren Togami 2005-08-29 20:27:37 UTC
REOPEN if Marius is not satisfied.

Comment 7 Marius Feraru 2005-08-31 11:21:13 UTC
it's ok to close it... it's too weary to treat POD files as documentation from
the spec, IMHO this should be accounted by rpm itself (same way as it does with
man pages).

Comment 8 Ville Skyttä 2005-08-31 14:12:57 UTC
It's slightly more difficult for *.pod than for man pages, which is why I 
guess it hasn't been done yet.  rpm has stuff in place for marking everything 
below a dir as %doc (such as is done for /usr/share/doc, /usr/share/man, ...), 
but *.pod are scattered around the perl install dirs meaning the same approach 
cannot be used.
