I just started using rpmforge and it's minimized the packaging I need

they could be added to the list of maintained packages. The version
numbers might not be the absolute latest, they are from the cpan
modules list I downloaded 2 days ago but these versions should be
plenty new enough for me. An example URL to prepend to the tarball
paths: http://cpan.mirror.facebook.com/modules/by-authors/id/
I have a tool (dar-perl.py) that creates a SPEC file. I now have
created SPEC files and packages for most of these modules:

Nice! Thanks very much, that helps a lot.
CPANPLUS 0.84 K/KA/KANE/CPANPLUS-0.84.tar.gz
This one is a problematic one. CPANPLUS consists of a lot of modules
that are provided independently, so in essence there should not be a
need to have this one. We disabled it because offering CPANPLUS
together with normal modules will have depsolvers pull CPANPLUS
instead of the independent module packages. Unless I am mistaken, it
should not be required ?
I think I included it because so many modules I have built before
required it, but it's not really necessary.
DBD::Oracle 1.21
P/PY/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.21.tar.gz
I need to build your other package first.
XML::RSS::LibXML 0.3002
D/DM/DMAKI/XML-RSS-LibXML-0.3002.tar.gz
This one is a problem as it requires a newer perl-XML-LibXML than
RHEL/CentOS ships. As it requires the XML::LibXML::XPathContext sub
module. Not sure what I should do, add a newer XML::LibXML and expect
everyone to have apt pinning or yum priorities installed.
Feedback welcomed :)
Well... you could make a new package called "rf-perl-XML-LibXML" and
make it provide only "rf-perl-XML-LibXML = 1.66" (autoreqprov: no). Also
it should install everything into site_perl instead of vendor_perl. Then
you build perl-RSS-LibXML and have it depend on rf-perl-XML-LibXML.
The end result should be that by default you have a stock
perl-XML-LibXML, but if you want perl-XML-RSS-LibXML then it will
install rf-perl-XML-LibXML. You will have two copies of XML::LibXML, but
because of RHEL5's new patched @INC the site_perl has higher precedence
so XML::RSS::LibXML will use rf-perl-XML-LibXML's copy (and all older
modules will also use the newer module so they should be fine).
For RHEL4/CENTOS4 and older I don't think @INC is patched correctly from
red hat/centos, so this solution may not work for those OS's.
