Thank you for your work on CPANPLUS::Dist::Fedora. I installed it and then used cpan2dist to try to create some RPM packages from CPAN packages, since RPM is what my customer uses to install the software they use for their operations. They are using RHEL 6, and I am developing mainly on CentOS 6. The cpan2dist program seemed to work well, except when it was almost finished it ran rpmbuild which failed to resolve the requirement for "perl(perl) >= 5.006". I tried using --ignore and --ban to avoid this problem, but neither one helped. Finally, I looked into the code and modified the spec file template as shown in the attached patch. This makes it require "perl >= 5.006" instead of "perl(perl) >= 5.006". Rpmbuild is able to resolve this dependency and produce RPM packages corresponding to the original CPAN packages.

Hi Joseph, thanks for the report and the patch. I didn't find the patch suitable (and it wasn't generated too well either - next time use the "hg diff" command with the Mercurial repository), so I coded own patch which seems to work well from my testing and is available in version 0.0.7 of CPANPLUS-Dist-Fedora. It seems to work fine from my testing, but please test it yourself and let me know if it's OK. Thanks again. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish

Hi Shlomi, Your solution to the problem is better. I am using version 0.0.8 now and it is working well. I don't have a Mercurial repository yet, but maybe a unified diff, produced with "diff -u CPANPLUS/Dist/Fedora.pm{-orig,}", would be closer to what "hg diff" would produce.

You can unpack the source distribution and do «diff -u lib/CPANPLUS/Dist/Fedora.pm{-orig,}». Regards, -- Shlomi Fish. Show quoted text
