Patch to spec file

Created attachment 290749 [details]
Redone version of patch to run 'date +%z'

I have re-applied the patch for #248500 by hand.  It does need re-testing in
the same environment that required the original patch.

Ok.  Since the upstream tarball changed names, it looks like the right thing to
do is to kill the old fedora package named perl-DateManip and create a new one
called perl-Date-Manip.  I'll get started on that with a CVS request:

New Package CVS Request
=======================
Package Name: perl-Date-Manip
Short Description: A Perl module containing a wide variety of date manipulation
routines
Owners: rnorwood
Branches: F-8
InitialCC: fedora-perl-devel-list
Cvsextras Commits: yes

cvs done.

looks like the 'cvsplot' package requires the old name. You might ping the
maintainer to fix it to the new package. 

I have filed #427542 for cvsplot to rename its dependency, but I know there are
third party packages depending on Date::Manip, so you need

Provides: perl-DateManip 5.48
Obsoletes: perl-DateManip 5.48

or whatever the exact rpm voodoo is so that existing packages keep working.

I guess once the change works its way through the system a new package will
appear in
<http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/>?

Yeah, I think we'll need:

Provides: perl-DateManip = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: perl-DateManip < 5.48-1

I'll add that to the spec as well as your patch, and some other housekeeping
business.

Ok, built for rawhide and F-8.  I'll push the update to F-8 to final when
someone tells me it works.

By the way, Ed, if you use this package and want to maintain (or co-maintain)
it, you're welcome to do so, just let me know.

perl-Date-Manip-5.48-1.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update perl-Date-Manip'

I am running the new package (rebuilt from the SRPM) and it works.  However I am
not the best person to test the upgrade path since I was already running my own
version of the package.  Let me check it on my F8 machine at home.

Please could you verify the result of update?

Running 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update perl-Date-Manip' as root gives
the error

Could not find update match for perl-Date-Manip

This on a machine running Fedora 8 for x86_64.

For me helped yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install perl-Date-Manip because
with previous command wasn't package found.

But there is still ugly message when you already have perl-Date-Manip and want
install perl-DateManip.

There will be needed some triggers in spec file. Thoughts?

The path from DateManip to Date-Manip seems to work:

# rpm -qa | grep Manip
perl-DateManip-5.44-4.fc8.noarch
# yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install perl-Date-Manip
