Description Paul Howarth 2005-12-07 17:12:45 UTC 
Spec Name or Url: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Math-Pari/perl-Math-Pari.spec
SRPM Name or Url: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Math-Pari/perl-Math-Pari-2.010702-1.src.rpm
Description:

This package is a Perl interface to the famous library PARI for numerical/
scientific/ number-theoretic calculations. It allows use of most PARI functions
as Perl functions, and (almost) seamless merging of PARI and Perl data.

Notes:

This package includes the pari library source even though that is being introduced to Fedora Extras in its own right (#169703). The rationale for this is:
(a) This package patches the library source code
(b) This package integrates very tightly with the library and may break if the library is changed underneath it
(c) Functionality is lost if built against an external PARI library (see the INSTALL file in the distribution)

This module is required by various crypto-related perl modules I intend to submit at a later date.
Comment 1 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2006-02-01 00:55:48 UTC 
Paul,

1) Would you mind just hardcoding the pari version? The current construct
   appears to be error prone: for example, it doesn't handle the current pari
   development version - 2.2.12 - or any other version component with more
   than 1 digit.

  If I assume the Math::Pari version as 2.021201 it will output 2.212 as
  the pari version (it should output 2.2.12).

  $ echo 2.021201 | perl -pi -e 'tr/0/./;s/\.+/./;s/\.[^.]*$//'
  2.212  

2) There is also a new version available. Could you update?

   Diff from Math-Pari-2.010702 to Math-Pari-2.010703
   http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Math-Pari-2.010702&to=Math-Pari-2.010703

I'd really prefer to only have to change the one version number in the spec if
possible, since (a) it makes the spec easier to maintain, and (b) it should
ensure that I'm always using the "supported" version of the pari library.

I've updated the expression, which should get it right in all cases now I think.

Done:

Spec URL unchanged.

Spec URL unchanged.

Paul,
Sorry for the delay.

Good:
* Math-Pari tarball MD5 digest verified against a CPAN copy
* pari 2.1.7 tarball MD5 digest verified
* URL and Sources URLs are valid
* License verified (README file)
* perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_xxx) present
* perl vendor libs present
* File permissions are OK
* Builds without problems in FC-3 and FC-5
* (Un)installs without problems in FC-3 and FC-5

NeedsWork:
* the files libPARI.dumb.pod, Math::libPARI.dumb.3pm.gz are duplicates
  of libPARI.pod, Math::libPARI.3pm.gz (ok, they have slightly different 
  formats)
  (Easy fix - just remove the *dumb* files)

Other minor notes:
* Would be nice to have Term::Gnuplot around to improve the test coverage
