Re: [Catalyst] Easiest Way To Update Fedora 10 to Catalyst-Runtime-5.71000
I did indeed update HTTP::Body as well. Catalyst-Runtime wouldn't build without it.

I'd forgotten I link that there. perl-Catalyst-Runtime is maintained; 5.71000 was just released on 19 Jan and it takes time to look at it, make any spec updates, build test and push.

Most packagers respond well to RFE bugs like this, and on the whole, the people who own Perl packages in Fedora tend to be pretty proactive.

Fedora's CVS[2] also contains everything needed to build an updated package, and, like everyone else, we love patches too. Especially as part of a bugzilla entry :) Right now, updating perl-Catalyst-Runtime is dependent on perl-HTTP-Body 1.05 making its way through the updates system.

Re: [Catalyst] Easiest Way To Update Fedora 10 to Catalyst-Runtime-5.71000
I think I just succeeded in packaging Catalyst::Runtime 5.7100, HTTP::Body 1.05, and Catalyst::Runtime::Devel 1.10 all in Fedora RPM packages. However I'm woefully lacking in my RPM building and Catalyst developer skills, so it remains to be seen if I really did the job correctly. I'll contact the Fedora packager and offer to send the packages forward for evaluation. This person's spec file actually split off some of the Catalyst::Runtime code into a separate RPM called perl-Catalyst-Runtime-scripts. If anyone wants my RPM packages, again with the understanding that I'm new to this and could have done it wrong, please email me directly. I may not be able to provide the binaries until Sunday evening February 8, Eastern Standard Time.

[Catalyst] Easiest Way To Update Fedora 10 to Catalyst-Runtime-5.71000
My installation of Fedora 10 x86_64 is using Fedora-packaged Perl (perl-5.10.0-53.fc10.x86_64) and the perl-Catalyst-Runtime (perl-Catalyst-Runtime-5.7015-1.fc10.noarch) and it doesn't seem to be maintained; there is no 5.71000 release as an RPM package. I have read the thread from last summer about Red Hat and CentOS releases not having real good Perl installations. I'd like to upgrade to 5.71000, using an RPM package if possible. (perhaps I can get the source RPM for 5.7015 and rebuild it for 5.71000 with any new dependencies added in. I have an RPM build tree on this machine that I've been using to build stuff like avr-gcc.)
