Description Ralf Corsepius 2006-02-10 05:32:16 UTC
Description of problem:

Invalid rpm group:
Group: Applications/CPAN

rpmlint perl-libintl-1.16-1.noarch.rpm
W: perl-libintl non-standard-group Applications/CPAN
...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-libintl-1.16.1%{?dist}

Additional info:
This package's spec file diverges quite a bit from FE perl-spec standards. 
Also, rpmlint is very noisy on it. 

It probably needs an overhaul.

Fell free to provide a spec file patch. Or even takeover this package... I don't
want to maintain any perl modules, but needed this one for dvd::rip.

I am already maintaining too many packages and am not really interested taking
over this particular package.

Anyway, I just just had a deeper look into this package and found it to be
really mis-packaged. Besides the nitpicking rpmlint complains about, the most
critical bug is this package tagged "noarch", while it actually (unless I'm
missing something) should be "arched".

I am having a deeper look into it and will try to come up with a patch.

I've updated the spec in cvs and had let it rebuild on devel/rawhide.

Could you try the fc5-spec with dvd::rip on FC4? If it doesn't break (I can't
test it), I'd go ahead an apply the FC5 spec to FC4 and FC3.

Comment 5 Matthias Saou 2006-04-07 13:35:01 UTC
Feel free to backport the package, as all seems to be fine.

Comment 6 Christian Iseli 2007-01-17 23:18:19 UTC
FC3 and FC4 have now been EOL'd.

Please check the ticket against a current Fedora release, and either adjust the
release number, or close it if appropriate.

Thanks.

Your friendly BZ janitor :-)
