Description Ed Avis 2008-02-05 09:21:34 EST

Building perl-PPI needs perl-Test-ClassAPI.
Building perl-Test-ClassAPI needs perl-Class-Inspector.
Building perl-Class-Inspector needs perl-Test-MinimumVersion.
Building perl-Test-MinimumVersion needs perl-Perl-MinimumVersion.
Building perl-Perl-MinimumVersion needs perl-PPI.

Since PPI doesn't really need Test::ClassAPI but only uses it in one part of its
test suite, I suggest breaking that BuildRequires dependency.

(If Test::ClassAPI is not installed then the test suite passes anyway, since it
skips that one test.)

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-03-11 21:05:19 EDT

Yes, this is a loop, but its only a problem when doing mass rebuilds for base
perl version changes. I'd rather have the full test functionality for the normal
case.
