The modules will be weak dependencies, i.e. Recommends, right? Vít > while still retain the possibility to install > only a minimal perl interpreter (/usr/bin/perl) with dnf install > perl-interpreter. > > This change will also update Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl to > all spec files that require perl to use perl-interpreter instead. > There is only 81 binary packages affected. They will rebuilt. > Otherwise no mass rebuild won't be necessary. > > To ease sharing spec files with older Fedoras, perl-interpreter > provide will add to perl package there. > > > == Scope == > * Proposal owners: > - Submit Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl update to Fedora > Packaging Committee. > - Update and rebuild perl source package. > - Add Provides: perl-interpreter to perl package in older Fedoras. > - Replace BuildRequires and Requires for perl with perl-interpreter in > all spec files. > - Rebuild packages with replaced Requires to propagate the change to > repositories. > - Replace perl-core with perl in compose groups definition. > > * Other developers: > Get familiar with new Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Perl. > > * Release engineering: > No action needed.
