[opensuse-buildservice] Help building perl package
Dear all, please forgive me if this is the wrong list to ask the question I'm going to ask but I'm new to obs and opensuse package building. As you can see in the log [1] I'm trying to build perl-Module-Load-Conditional on CentOS 5 but as perl 5.8.8 contains the same modules of perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker they conflicts. My question is: it's possibile to avoid perl-ExtUtils-MakeMakes installation? I tryed via condition in the spec file but without success. I took a look at src.rpms from epel and other CentOS repository but did not successed.

I'd suggest also asking over on the opensuse-programming mailing list. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Is perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker a sub-package of perl that can be uninstalled? What does it "provide" that is causing it to be installed when perl is installed? If it can be uninstalled, you could make sure you have the same "provides" metadata and then use a conflict statement to ensure only one of the 2 is installed. Be advised that openSUSE does not much care for conflicts in specfiles, so it is not a desirable solution, but it may be an option you need to explore.

Would this help:? BuildRequires: -perl-ExtUtils-MakeMakes On Aug 26, 12 16:44:48 -0400, Greg Freemyer wrote:

You said you were packaging for Fedora, so I don't know how relevant it is, but here is the opeSUSE guidlines for the "conflicts" field: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_conflicts I quote this one small section: === Acceptable Uses of Conflicts: As a general rule, openSUSE packages must NOT contain any usage of the Conflicts: field. This field is commonly misused, when a Requires: would usually be more appropriate. It confuses depsolvers and end-users for no good reason. However, there are some cases in which using the Conflicts: field is appropriate and acceptable. === Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

As Tom "spot" Callaway is the author, it seems like this was copied from Fedora.

Oh my, "must" is a bit too much here. I'd prefer "should".
