Description jakub.jedelsky 2020-06-24 15:40:52 UTC
Hello,

please add perl-Devel-CheckLib to EPEL8 (as a dep. for perl-DBD-MariaBD we need version >= 1.12).

We are working on bringing multiple perl packages into a 'upstream' (EPEL) which we use internally (at GoodData). This package is one of many which have builds in Fedora but lacks EPEL8 branch. We would like to request it and help you to maintain the package (incl. Fedora Rawhide).

Please add us to a maintainer list for the package perl-DBD-MariaDB. Our FAS usernames are:

- tjmc
- kubo

Thanks for the cooperation in advance!

The package "perl-Devel-CheckLib" isn't provided in actual EPEL branches any more.
Starting from RHEL7 and above, it's included to the base repository, and cannot be overridden or updated in terms of EPEL.

In theory, you can discuss the package version bump addressing RedHat customer service (there were cases in the past when various packages versions were bumped) — but you need really strong reasons for that to get through this process. In any case, this issue cannot be solved in EPEL now.
