I would like to fix this package

The fix is easy - just update to latest upstream. However, there is a twist: for some reason the package name is all lowercase and this does not match the upstream name MouseX::Getopt.

Unfortunate, but fixable, and a fix worth I would consider worth the time :)

To get it to build one must first unpack the tarball, rename the directory, and repack it. Rinse and repeat for every new upstream release.

The specfile uses %setup -n to already specify an alternate name. Why would it need to be repacked?

Better would be to rename the package itself, to perl-MouseX-Getopt, in both Factory and the devel project, but how to do this correctly?

copypac in a first step, in a second step, osc mv, in a third, the in-file contents get updated. (One and three can be combined, but is not really needed to make it that complicated.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
