This is a patch to make cpanflute a little more portable/useful outside of redhat itself. It queries rpm for which version of perl its building against, instead of assuming a 6.2/7.0 timeframe perl. It also "just builds" a spec file/rpm set without assuming a big directory of perl modules to be built. Its not perfect - it still gets my email wrong (thm) and some other stuff. It would be neat to see a version of this for python modules.
Created attachment 47480 [details] cpanflute portability patch
cpanflute is in transition to a new CPAN module. rpm-4.0.4 has a preliminary copy of cpanflute2, but bot cpanflute/cpanflute2 will be taken out of rpm for separate distribution when the time comes. Meanwhile, off to perl to get your patch looked at for possible inclusion.
Given a) age of bug b) ongoing pkging discussion in fedora-packaging and fedora-extras, I'd close this bug.
