I am looking at getting Xfce in EPEL, and xfconf needs this package (which in turn needs perl-ExtUtils-Depends which I have also asked to be branched). If you make the minor change to perl BuildRequires here the package builds fine on EL-5, however, it seems to fail it's %tests: ... t/64bit....................GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_int64: assertion `default_value >= minimum && default_value <= maximum' failed at t/64bit.t line 20. # Failed test 'The object isa Glib::Param::Int64' # in t/64bit.t at line 24. # The object isn't defined Can't call method "get_minimum" on an undefined value at t/64bit.t line 25. # Looks like you planned 12 tests but only ran 1. # Looks like you failed 1 test of 1 run. # Looks like your test died just after 1. dubious Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) DIED. FAILED tests 1-12 Failed 12/12 tests, 0.00% okay (note this is on a 32bit build). Perhaps something with RHEL's perl ? I'd be happy to help maintain for EPEL-5. thanks
Please block this on the bug for perl-ExtUtils-Depends, and I'll look at getting this working on EL-5 after the other bug is closed.
Yeah, done.
Hey Spot. Any news here? Have you had a chance to look at the tests? Can we just disable them from EPEL? Or is there some way to fix them?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Built in EL-5. Tests disabled due to the fact that they're acting VERY weird on i386. It would not surprise me to find that there are bugs in this code somewhere.
