Description Paul Howarth 2012-04-05 20:43:44 UTC
perl-Moose has a buildreq of perl(Data::Visitor), which is used in
the test suite if available. However, Data::Visitor itself requires
Moose, so this creates a circular build dependency, which will be a
problem when we come to build everything for perl 5.16.

It also has a buildreq and req of perl(Devel::PartialDump) >= 0.14, which gives better runtime diagnostics of some errors. However, Devel::PartialDump also requires Moose and hence is a circular dependency. The functionality provided by Devel::PartialDump is not tested in the test suite so it can be dropped as a buildreq with no effects (in fact this had been done in the past in build 2.0002-2). It's OK to leave it as a req as Moose can be built first.

Suggested fixes are to not buildrequire Data::Visitor when bootstrapping and to drop Devel::PartialDump as a buildreq entirely:
