Yes, perl_default_filter macro has been rewritten to use rpm's new features. And as part of the perl 5.14 rebuild, all of the perl-* spec files that extend the default filtering have been updated to use the new macros directly, while preserving the old-style macros for f14/f15 (in the same way I suggest for vym). It was considerably simpler to update the ~70 or so affected packages than try to make the old filter macros work with new exclude stuff. It's a little messy, but hopefully we'll be able to clean up this time next year. -- Iain. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
