Description Steven Pritchard 2006-05-06 21:39:41 UTC
Spec URL: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-Module-Install/perl-Module-Install.spec
SRPM URL: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-Module-Install-0.62-1.src.rpm
Description:
Module::Install is a package for writing installers for CPAN (or CPAN-like)
distributions that are clean, simple, minimalist, act in a strictly correct
manner with both the ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build build systems,
and will run on any Perl installation version 5.004 or newer.

Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2006-05-07 22:17:01 UTC
The source URL seems to be wrong; is upstream really on your site?  CPAN says
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AD/ADAMK/Module-Install-0.62.tar.gz,
which I'll take as upstream for the purposes fo this review.

One of the tests spits out some warnings because various utilities are missing;
is it worth adding additional BR:s to get more coverage?

Review:
* package meets naming and packaging guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written, uses macros consistently and
follows the Perl specfile template.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.  It's not included separately in the
package, but this is not necessary as the upstream tarball does not include it.
* source files match upstream:
   92eda243d936f4010883825aa2dd2993  Module-Install-0.62.tar.gz
   92eda243d936f4010883825aa2dd2993  Module-Install-0.62.tar.gz-srpm
* latest version is being packaged.
* BuildRequires are proper.
* package builds in mock (development, x86_64).
* rpmlint is silent.
* final provides and requires are sane (many manual Requires: not picked by
rpmlint).
* no shared libraries are present.
* package is not relocatable.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
* %check is present and all tests pass:
   All tests successful.
   Files=4, Tests=51,  2 wallclock secs ( 0.58 cusr +  0.26 csys =  0.84 CPU)
* no scriptlets present.
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* no headers.
* no pkgconfig files.
* no libtool .la droppings.
* not a GUI app.

Oops, apparently I forgot to unset CPAN before running cpanspec.  Sorry.

Definitely.  Did you happen to save a build log?  (It would save me another mock
build.)

Comment 3 Steven Pritchard 2006-05-08 17:26:20 UTC
OK, I see the warnings now:

t/03_audotinstall....ok 1/6Warning: links not found in PATH                  
Warning: wget not found in PATH
Warning: ncftpget not found in PATH
Warning: ncftp not found in PATH
Warning: ftp not found in PATH
Warning: gpg not found in PATH
t/03_audotinstall....ok                                                      

I wonder if it might be safer to leave those BRs out so it can't do any network
tests.

Comment 4 Jason Tibbitts 2006-05-08 17:58:42 UTC
We certainly don't want it doing network access; I saw the gpg warning and
wondered if it was going to test something relating to signing.

Comment 5 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2006-05-08 18:15:39 UTC
I believed the warnings are harmless and are being emitted by the CPAN module
that this module loads. It must be complaining about the missing configuration.

The gpg, ftp, ncftp*, wget are CPAN configuration variables.

See the output of 
  $ perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> o conf
or the contents of a CPAN configuration file
  eg: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/CPAN/Config.pm

Comment 6 Steven Pritchard 2006-05-09 16:52:20 UTC
I'll ignore the warnings then.

The package has been imported into CVS, branches have been created, and builds
have been requested.

Comment 7 Mathieu Bridon 2011-01-19 09:15:06 UTC
This package is in EPEL5, but not in EPEL6. Is there any reason for that?

I would like to see this package in EPEL6, and I am willing to help co-maintain it.

Comment 8 Mathieu Bridon 2011-01-19 09:41:13 UTC
Nevermind, I just saw it's in the RHEL6 Client repository (I was only looking at the Server one).

Sorry for the spam.
