Spec Name or Url: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/perl-Device-SerialPort.spec SRPM Name or Url: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/perl-Device-SerialPort-1.002-1.fc5.src.rpm Description: This module provides an object-based user interface essentially identical to the one provided by the Win32::SerialPort module.
The build fails in mock due to failing tests: + /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor 'OPTIMIZE=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic' Could not find a serial port to use for testing. Please specify one on the 'perl Makefile.PL' command line, like so: perl Makefile.PL /dev/ttyS0 Trying to find a serial port for testing... (use 'perl Makefile.PL TESTPORT=<DEVICE>' to override this search) checking '/dev/ttyS1' ... nope checking '/dev/cua01' ... nope checking '/dev/cua/b' ... nope checking '/dev/tty1' ... nope checking '/dev/tty.modem' ... nope error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71516 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71516 (%build) Error building package from perl-Device-SerialPort-1.002-1.fc6.src.rpm, See build log Now, it's obvious that you've disabled the %check section but it seems that Makefile.PL insists on trying to figure out which serial port should be tested just in case 'make test' is run later. Dumb. Tacking "TESTPORT=/dev/null" onto the Makefile.PL line gets things building.
After the above fix, everything builds fine. rpmlint says: W: perl-Device-SerialPort make-check-outside-check-section #make test This is bogus, but if you remove the commenting from the %check line it goes away. Fix it if you like. The license should be "GPL or Artistic"; that's the usual way to indicate the oft-seen "same as perl" terms. * source files match upstream: aeef199bfdd2aece043649a0673146d5 Device-SerialPort-1.002.tar.gz * package meets naming and packaging guidelines. * specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently. * dist tag is present. * build root is correct.

Hmm, that didn't seem to work. Ah, the URL immediately above is wrong; s/1.002-1/1.002-2/ and it's OK. Everything looks good now. APPROVED
Checked in and built and added to owners.list. Thanks for the review!
