rawhide vendorarch?

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

Could somebody explain this change between f14 and f15?

f14: perl -V:vendorarch
vendorarch='/usr/lib64/perl5';
f15:  perl -V:vendorarch
vendorarch='/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl';

This causes f15 to install their vendorarch'ed modules under
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl
instead of
/usr/lib64/perl5


I.e. rebuilding packages under f15/rawhide causes perl-modules to move 
from /usr/lib64/perl5 to /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl

E.g.:
# rpm -qlp perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-0.43-1.fc14.noarch.rpm
/usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Server/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Server/Simple/CGI.pm
/usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Server/Simple/CGI/Environment.pm

# rpm -qlp perl-HTTP-Server-Simple-0.43-1.fc15.noarch.rpm
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/HTTP/Server/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/HTTP/Server/Simple/CGI.pm
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/HTTP/Server/Simple/CGI/Environment.pm

In generaly, I fail to understand why "vendor_perl" is necessary and why 
this change was introduced to f15.


Also, I am facing FTBS errors, which I suspect to be related to this 
f14->f15 change and to rawhide currently containing a mixture of 
perl-packages using vendorarch=/usr/share/perl5 and others 
vendorarch=/usr/share/perl5/vendor_arch.
