Thanks, Moved everything to a new project home:rjschwei:perl-perlcritic and got the perl-Test-ClassAPI package to build now. The help is appreciated. Robert MasterPatricko wrote:

Thanks for the info. How would I organize this if instead of a project all the things perlcritic depends on would be part of the perlcritic project?
home:rjschwei:perl-perlcritic/ perl-Test-ClassAPI perl-Test-Object perl-Test-SubCalls .....
i.e. each dependency is a directory containing the spec file and the source tarball?
Exactly. Each _project_ can contain many _packages_ with their own source and spec file and history. It is common to build a package and all its dependencies and related packages in one project rather than having many smaller projects all linking to each other. For example all of KDE is built in the one project KDE:43.
Also, any project can build each package for many _repositories_, e.g. both openSUSE 11.1 and openSUSE Factory as you are already doing. Each _repository_ can be told to fetch the required BuildRequires packages from a different parent repository, so for example KDE:43/openSUSE_11.1 builds against the project openSUSE:11.1/standard while KDE:KDE4:Community/openSUSE_11.1_KDE43 builds against KDE:43/openSUSE_11.1.
Note that KDE:KDE4:Community/openSUSE_11.1_KDE43 does not have to separately reference openSUSE:11.1/standard because it inherits that reference from its parent KDE:43/openSUSE_11.1.
Now if you try to build against the devel:languages:perl for each of your repositories in your project config (e.g. for openSUSE_11.1 use devel:languages:perl/openSUSE_11.1, for openSUSE_Factory use devel:languages:perl/openSUSE_Factory) it should find the missing packages (the current expansion errors) and start building ... (hopefully!). While adding that reference you may want to remove the redundant references to openSUSE:11.1/standard or openSUSE:Factory/snapshot. That should avoid any conflicts which might have been the problem you were seeing earlier with the apparently unresolved dependency.
