I've run into an issue with Module::Build that I haven't found an easy
workaround for yet. We subclass Module::Build for the BioPerl core
distribution (now on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/~cjfields/BioPerl-1.6.0/)
. We have several other optional smaller sub-distributions (BioPerl-
db, BioPerl-run, etc) that are available separately via CPAN. All
share the common 'Bio' module namespace.
Apparently, each distribution recreates Bio::ConfigData (they all use
'feature' or 'auto_feature'), which is causing problems with automated
packaging:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484495
We have several ways we could solve this (not install ConfigData, have
separate customized ConfigData files for each distribution, or use one
common Bio::ConfigData for all distributions). However I haven't
found any documentation on how to prevent ConfigData installation or
generate/reuse custom-named ConfigData files. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
