Summary: fcgi package contains embedded copy of FCGI module https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736759 Summary: fcgi package contains embedded copy of FCGI module Product: Fedora EPEL Version: el5 Platform: Unspecified URL: http://search.cpan.org/dist/FCGI/FCGI.PL OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: perl-FCGI AssignedTo: iarn...@gmail.com ReportedBy: opensou...@till.name QAContact: extras...@fedoraproject.org CC: cw...@alumni.drew.edu, iarn...@gmail.com, fedora-perl-devel-l...@redhat.com, jlies...@redhat.com, opensou...@till.name, mmasl...@redhat.com, trem...@tremble.org.uk Depends on: 736612,736613 Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Clone Of: 736613 Type: --- +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #736613 +++ +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #736612 +++ Description of problem: The fcgi package in EPEL-6 contains embedded copy of perl Fast CGI (FCGI) module from CPAN: [1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/FCGI/FCGI.PL But there already is dedicated, system perl-FCGI package, present in EPEL-6. Thus fcgi package should depend on perl-FCGI package, rather than using its own embbedded copy (so in case of security flaw in perl-FCGI, the fcgi package won't need to be updated too). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fcgi-2.4.0-10.el6.src.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # pwd ../BUILD/fcgi-2.4.0 2. fcgi-2.4.0]# cd perl/ 3. perl]# ls aclocal.m4 configure echo.PL FCGI.PL Makefile.PL oldinterface.pod remote.PL typemap ChangeLog configure.in fcgi_config.h.in FCGI.XL MANIFEST README threaded.PL version.pm Actual results: Own copy of CPAN FCGI module is embbeded in fcgi package. Expected results: EPEL-6 fcgi package uses system perl-FCGI package. --- Additional comment from opensource till.name on 2011-09-08 17:52:55 CEST --- fcgi does not use but provide the perl module in a sub package fcgi-perl. Afaics perl-FCGI needs to obsolete fcgi-perl according to these Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Renaming_Process#Re-review_required Since the perl-FCGI maintainer is the co-maintainer of fcgi wrt. the -perl subpackage, I reassign this bug to perl-FCGI to take care of removing the -perl subpackage from fcgi and addding the proper Provides/Obsoletes etc to perl-FCGI. Also any provenpackager is welcome to perform the required changes to fcgi-perl. Btw. fcgi-perl exists in EPEL 5, too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-de...@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
