Description Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2012-04-04 17:42:38 UTC
Hello,

I know the package just got in: I'm really sorry to be a buzz kill :(

I just tried the F16 build from koji:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=311652

When I run it, according to the Readme file, I get the following error:

22:46 ***   <(^)                   TWIRSSI v2.5.1
22:46 ***    (_(\           http://twirssi.com/ for full docs
22:46 ***     || ` Log in with /twitter_login, send updates with /tweet
22:46 *** Loading WWW::Shorten::TinyURL...
22:46 ERROR: Failed to load WWW::Shorten::TinyURL - either clear
22:46 ERROR: short_url_provider or install the CPAN module

The readme does say that you need WWW::Shortner::TinyURL installed, but is the user expected to install it from CPAN? Shouldn't this be packaged for fedora and installed as a Requires? It would improve the user experience IMO. (Users dont like errors, it freaks us out ;))

Another missing Requires seems to be LWP::Protocol::https:

23:01 ERROR: Failed to get OAuth authorization_url: GET https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token failed: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed)
          at /usr/share/irssi/scripts/twirssi.pl line 896

This one's in the repos already, and just needs to be added as Requires:
perl-LWP-Protocol-https

It's working now, but I look forward to these nitpicks :)

Thanks for packaging it up,
Ankur

Comment 1 Julian C. Dunn 2012-04-04 22:15:41 UTC
You're right Ankur, when I read the code it didn't look like WWW::Shorten::* was mandatory but I realized that's because URL shortening is an "optional" feature that happens to be turned on by default. I'll be putting in a review request for perl-WWW-Shorten shortly.

And thanks for catching the dep on LWP::Protocol:https; one of those things that's not immediately apparent from the code.

Good catches, Ankur!

I suppose I should try using the packages I review ;)

Hehe, it isn't always possible :)

Sure :) 

I really look forward to the fixes. I'll give karma as soon as the packages hit -testing.

Thanks,
Ankur
