Spec Name or Url: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/Maypole/perl-Class-DBI-Pg.spec SRPM Name or Url: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/Maypole/perl-Class-DBI-Pg-0.06-2.src.rpm Description: Class::DBI extension for PostgreSQL (NOTE: This package is one of the Maypole dependencies)
Review: - rpmlint clean - package and spec names OK - package meets guidelines - license is same as perl, matches spec - spec written in English and is legible - sources match upstream - package builds OK in mock for FC4 (i386) - BR's mostly OK - no locales, libraries, subpackages or pkgconfigs to worry about - not relocatable - no directory ownership or permissions issues - no duplicate files - %clean section present and correct - macro usage is consistent - code, not content - no large docs - docs don't affect runtime - no scriptlets Needswork: - redundant BR: perl - include license text - add perl(DBD::Pg) BR and probably dep too Suggestions: - honor %{?_smp_mflags}
Created attachment 118385 [details] Patch addressing review issues
For some reason, perl-DBD-Pg does not provide perl(DBD::Pg): [spot@swoop Maypole]$ rpm -q perl-DBD-Pg --provides Pg.so perl-DBD-Pg = 1.43-1 [spot@swoop Maypole]$ So, I incorporated your patch, but used perl-DBD-Pg instead. All resolved in -3: SRPM: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/Maypole/perl-Class-DBI-Pg-0.06-3.noarch.rpm SPEC: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/Maypole/perl-Class-DBI-Pg.spec
Where did that perl-DBD-Pg package come from? The FC3 and FC4 versions do provide perl(DBD::Pg), and I'd expect the rawhide one to do so too.

The rawhide version of perl-DBD-Pg *should* provide perl(DBD::Pg) = 1.43 (see bugzilla #167797); the problem lies with the coding style in that package not meshing with rpm's perl.prov script. However, Ville suggests in that bugzilla entry that it may be a better idea to require perl-DBD-Pg rather than perl(DBD::Pg) anyway. Based on that, I'm happy to approve this package, and leave it to you to decide what to do about the deps.
