https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877096 --- Comment #23 from Petr Šabata --- Ok, I'll repeat some of the things that have already been mentioned but are still in the spec. Just remove the old cruft unless you really want to support this package in EPEL5. That means the BuildRoot tag (line 10), buildroot removal (line 58), and the %clean section (lines 72-73). As this is a noarch package, you don't need line 61. Remove it. I think the lines 64 and 65 could be replaced with simple %{_fixperms} %{buildroot}/*. EE::MM supports DESTDIR and using that is preferred over PERL_INSTALL_ROOT. Now about the dependencies: You have to BuildRequire everything used during the build phase which isn't available in the minimal buildroot (see the Packaging Guidelines for the list). This, of course, includes all the perl modules used by the executed code. When it comes to runtime dependencies, rpmbuild tries to parse the code present in the final RPM and generate the dependency list from that. It's fairly smart but has some known issues. I'd recommend not explicitly Requiring anything, building the package, checking the detected dependencies with 'rpm -qRp package.rpm', and just adding what's missing. In your case, the following BRs are required (Makefile.PL, executed scripts, testsuite, and the tested code): perl perl(Carp) perl(Config) perl(Exporter) perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) perl(File::Copy) perl(Getopt::Long) perl(IO::File) perl(IO::Handle) perl(IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress) perl(Pod::Usage) perl(strict) perl(Test::More) perl(vars) The IO::Compress::, Text::CSV_XS, and HTML::Parser modules don't seem to be required at build time. You should drop those. Both Text::CSV_XS and HTML::Parser will most likely be autodetected by rpmbuild, too. No need to Require them explicitly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ package-review mailing list package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review

I thought I had picked up all prior comments, but maybe not. A couple of things though: - yes I do want to support EL5; we have some old boxes here - wrt IO::Compress::, etc. not being reuqired at build time: they should be exercised in the test suites I will post an updated spec when I can check all these out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ package-review mailing list package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877096 --- Comment #27 from John Heidemann --- A new release is out: https://www.isi.edu/~johnh/SOFTWARE/FSDB/perl-Fsdb-2.48-1.fc20.src.rpm The spec is in the SRPM, or at https://www.isi.edu/~johnh/SOFTWARE/FSDB/perl-Fsdb.spec This includes the updated spec (see comment 26), fixes some small bugs, and adds an =encoding to work with perl-5.18 in Fedora-20 (due to someone's name with a unicode character in it :-). Unfortunately I just noticed it gets rpmlint errors "non-standard-dir-perm". This is because the suggestion in comment 23 about using %{_fixperms} is not sufficiently strongly---fixperms sets many things, but doesn't include g-s for the directories.

[Bug 877096] Review Request: perl-Fsdb - A set of commands for manipulating flat-text databases from the shell
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877096 --- Comment #9 from John Heidemann --- All of the problems mentioned in comment 7, plus most other rpmlint errors, are now fixed in release 2.41 at http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/SOFTWARE/FSDB/ I have this rpmlint error on the srpm: perl-Fsdb.src: E: invalid-spec-name which seems puzzling to me, as the only contents of that rpm are: Fsdb-2.41.tar.gz Fsdb.spec and that spec looks valid to me. (Unless maybe the spec need to be perl-Fsdb.spec?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I believe then it rpmlints without error, and with only one warning about an incorrect spelling error.

Explicitly, I think the URL and source should be filled like this(Just an example): URL:http://search.cpan.org/dist/Fsdb/ Source0: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JO/JOHNH/Fsdb-%{version}.tar.gz And, the %changelog has incorrect version with %{version}. Also,if you want to maintain a spec for EPEL also, you can keep Group and %defattr(-,root,root,-) and %clean, otherwise you should remove them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877096 --- Comment #4 from John Heidemann --- Thanks for the tips in comment #3. I ran cpanspec. It had some dependencies I picked up; they'll be in Fsdb-2.39 (not yet out). But my website is the upstream, not CPAN, and it's not clear to me what the %changelog problem is (although I don't actually track changes with that since I maintain the spec and the software). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
