CentOS 5.2, based on RHEL, doesn't split out a separate perl-devel package, and the current spec for subversion has a BuildRequires for perl-devel. The following change to the spec file is suggested (based on a suggestion on centos-devel): %if 0%{?fedora} > 6 BuildRequires: perl-devel >= 2:5.8.0 %else BuildRequires: perl >= 2:5.8.0 %endif BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
Raw Hide spec files are not designed to be built on any distro other than Raw Hide; you need to fork the spec and keep distro-specific hacks in the fork.
Joe, if you're not supporting this little tiny spec file change to be applied to rawhide, can I?
pkgdb acl requests added for F-8, F-9 and DEVEL branches
No, what about when the next guy comes along and says he wants the Raw Hide spec file to be portable to RHL8? RHEL 2.1? SuSE? Mandrake? Where would it stop?
