Description Ralf Corsepius 2010-07-03 05:43:15 UTC
Description of problem:
perl-Data-Alias fails to build on rawhide.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Data-Alias-1.07-7.fc14

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rebuild the package in rawhide
  
Actual results:
Build failure.

Expected results:
Success.

Additional info:
* Apparently this package is incompatible to perl-5.12 and can't be built against it.
* Its upstream appears dead.

This package needs to be made working or it will have to be removed from 
Fedora >= 14. AFAICT, this package is not used by Fedora itself, so it's probably safe to remove it.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 12:25:08 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

According to rgs on perl5-porters list[1], upstream will not be updating Data::Alias for perl 5.12. And despite Niko's efforts at debian[2], it doesn't look like a comprehensive patch will be coming from them either.

Fortunately, though, we're in the same position as debian - the only direct reverse dependency was perl-Data-Visitor, and that was a soft dep that's already been removed.

I've gone ahead and tried to have it blocked for F14 and rawhide[3]. If that works, I'll retire it in git and pkgdb.

perl-Data-Alias is retired now in F14 and rawhide.
