Bug #100830 for MooseX-Getopt: Please remove dependency on Module::Build::Tiny

Wed Dec 10 10:13:43 2014 KILINRAX [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Please remove dependency on Module::Build::Tiny

MooseX::Getopt builds fine without Module::Build::Tiny, but the dependency interferes with dh-make-perl. This wouldn't be a big deal, but Module::Build::Tiny doesn't package using dh-make-perl, and a .deb doesn't exist in Precise at least.

There is also a Makefile.PL in the dist -- you can use either to build the dist, as the outcome will be the same. Does that make packaging more possible?

However, Module::Build::Tiny is preferred going forwards. We're not going to force people to use fallback options just because Umbongo can't get their act together. If there's still a problem dh-make-perl-ing M::B::T I'll be happy to discuss it with you on irc.perl.org #toolchain

Leon Timmermans tells me that the MBT packaging issue has been fixed -- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=85006 -- so I suspect your issue with this debian package lies in another castle.

It would seem the versions of cdbs and debhelper shipped with Ubuntu Precise are too old to support MBT. I would recommend upgrading them before trying to package current packages. Leon

I can confirm that installing the Trusty versions of cdbs and debhelper fixes the problem. Since it still seems to exist in up-to-date stock Precise, for anyone searching else searching for a solution who's reached this thread: you'll also need dpkg, dpkg-dev, libdpkg-perl and liblzma5.
