The OpenSuSE build service has a lot of good information about using the Build Service for packaging perl modules, see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Perl and http://old-en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Perl. The can easily be adopted for building locally.
All the perl packages needed for a default RT installation are available in the perl development language repo, http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/. I ran into missing packages for RTIR but was able to build rpms for them using the above information. Additionally, I imported them into my personal repository with the goal of having them included in the perl repo but ran into a couple minor issues which I haven't had time to address. This are build service glitches I'm not sure how to overcome and have nothing to do with the packages themselves. -- Darin Perusich Email: darin.perus...@ctg.com Office: 716-888-3690 Cell: 716-807-4589 > -----Original Message----- > From: rt-users-boun...@lists.bestpractical.com [mailto:rt-users- > boun...@lists.bestpractical.com] On Behalf Of John Arends > Sent: Monday, December 13, 2010 7:14 PM > To: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com > Subject: Re: [rt-users] Possible to downgrade DB from 3.8 to 3.6? > > > On Dec 13, 2010, at 6:06 PM, Gary Greene wrote: > > > On 13/12/10 9:43 AM, "John Arends" <jare...@illinois.edu> wrote: > >> CPAN makes me cranky, but trying to package all the perl modules as > RPMs > >> makes me crankier.
