Package build problem can be fixed with proper dependencies (perl checks for dependencies and only if there's something missing it tries to use CPAN). So, this patch hides the problem. Also, I don't think it's needed for target Perl, there probably could be some cases when CPAN on target might be of use. But in general what I don't like about this situation is that when you encounter it while packaging yet another module the build process just hangs on do_configure task with 100% CPU utilization and it's unobvious what's going on until you check the ever growing log file. Then you have to kill bitbake. All of this sucks. Also, Perl 5.10 has some different handling for this, at quick glance it autoconfigures by default now and really downloads everything it needs from CPAN, which is also bad in our case, since we need to control what installed where. So, IMHO what could be useful is for our perl-native package to have some kind of bouncer in FirstTime.pm that would die with something like "Error: tried to configure CPAN. Usually it means broken dependencies for packaged modules, so go fix your package". _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
