Description Steven Pritchard 2005-09-20 15:43:05 UTC 
Spec Name or Url: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/cpanspec/cpanspec.spec
SRPM Name or Url: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/cpanspec-1.59-1.src.rpm
Description:
cpanspec generates spec files for Perl modules from CPAN for Fedora
Extras.  The quality of the spec file is our primary concern.  It is
assumed that maintainers will need to do some (hopefully small) amount
of work to clean up the generated spec file to make the package build
and to verify that all of the information contained in the spec file
is correct.

Note: I've been working on this for around a year and a half.  The most recent version includes options to download modules from your favorite CPAN mirror, generate source rpms, and even attempt builds.
Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2005-10-11 22:36:14 UTC 
Is this the proper group?

Group:          Development/Libraries

# rpmlint cpanspec
W: cpanspec no-url-tag

Guess we need an upstream repo even though this is a purely Fedora item?
Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2005-12-20 22:27:05 UTC 
Steven - Do you still have any interest in packaging these?  Would be nice as I
use it to package CPAN modules.
Comment 3 Steven Pritchard 2005-12-21 15:54:58 UTC 
All I need is a review...  :-)

> All I need is a review...  :-)

See comment 1 for my first question.  I would suggest Development/Tools group
and I'm pretty sure we need an upstream source for tarballs for verification.

* Wed Feb 01 2006 Steven Pritchard <steve> 1.59-2
- URL/Source0 on SourceForge.
- Use a more appropriate Group.
Comment 6 Orion Poplawski 2006-02-03 21:17:10 UTC 
Good:

- rpmlint checks return:
- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license (GPL/Artistic) OK, text in %doc, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream
- package compiles on devel (x86)
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all directories that it creates
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file

Approved

Comment 8 Luigi Iotti 2014-08-15 22:36:20 UTC 
May I ask if Steve is going to maintain this package even in Epel7.
I built the current Epel6 src rpm (cpanspec-1.78-6.el6.src.rpm) in 7 and it seems to be working fine.
Comment 9 Steven Roberts 2014-10-13 03:46:00 UTC 
not sure if you are referring to Steven Pritchard  or Steven Roberts (me).  I am guessing the former.
Comment 10 Luigi Iotti 2014-10-13 21:11:31 UTC 
Yes, I was referring to Steven Pritchard. Sorry for the confusion, but the package maintainer is listed only as "steve" here https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cpanspec/bugs/
Comment 11 Luigi Iotti 2014-10-13 21:42:20 UTC 
Package Change Request
======================
Package Name: cpanspec
New Branches: epel7
Owners: Lux

Since Steve did not respond in about 2 months, I would like to ask if I may maintain the cpanspec package for epel7. Obviously Steve would be welcome shoud he respond in the future.
Comment 12 Petr Šabata 2014-12-01 16:39:15 UTC 
You forgot to set the fedora-cvs flag, Luigi :)
Since I'm now maintaining the package in el5/el6 and all the fc branches, I'm re-requesting this primarily for myself, with you as co-maintainer.

Let me know if you're interested in working on other branches as well.

Oh, I see you created the branch, despite resetting the cvs flag.
Thanks and never mind then.

Hmm I just wanted to have cpanspec in el7 as well. I would have been happy to contribute it, but it turns out I would absolutely need more experience in using this Bugzilla site. Thank you.

I'll take care of it for now :)

That's great to hear!  Don't worry, everybody had to learn in the beginning.
I've sent you some info on becoming a contributor in a mail.
