Suggested improved Summary: HTML formatter modules for Perl IMO perl-Font-AFM should be Required, not only BuildRequired. HTML::FormatPS doesn't work without it, see setfont() there; that's not an optional dependency but a hard error if the needed Font::Metrics::$something module cannot be found. And the code to do that is obviously so funky that rpm cannot detect the dependency. In my local package, I used "Requires: perl-Font-AFM" instead of "Requires: perl(Font::AFM)" and ditto for BuildRequires. That's because Font::AFM is never actually used except for the version check in Makefile.PL. The actually needed modules are Font::Metrics::*. This is just a note, not a blocker, you decide what to do with it. But the suggestion to pull perl-Font-AFM in one way or another when this package is installed still holds. You are right, updated srpm with your comments reflected to appear soon at: ftp://packman.iu-bremen.de/fedora/SRPMS/perl-HTML-Format.spec ftp://packman.iu-bremen.de/fedora/SRPMS/perl-HTML-Format-2.04-2.src.rpm Approved, but please see the the suggested summary improvement from comment 1 post-CVS-import in case you missed it. Package Change Request ====================== Package Name: perl-HTML-Format New Branches: EL-6 Owners: tremble No response from owner, and it's going to be tied to EL-6 SRPMs anyway... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612419 spot seems to already own a EL-6 branch here. |
