[Bug 838679] perl-Plack: EL-6 build

[bugzilla at redhat.com]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838679

--- Comment #1 from Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo at di.uminho.pt> ---
Problems:

 * system perl is too old for certain packages

   RHEL6 ships with perl 5.10.1


 * The core perl module Test::More is definitely too old; this is also a core 
   RHEL package (perl-Test-Simple-0.92)

   Lots of perl modules require a more recent version of Test::More in order
   to successfully run their test suites.


 * perl-Authen-Simple, which is already available in epel-testing, requires
   perl(Crypt::PasswdMD5) and this module isn't available in the RHEL PPC64 
   repositories.

   I'm amazed how koji allowed me to build and push to epel-6-testing 
   perl-Authen-Simple-0.4-5.el6 and perl-Authen-Simple-Passwd-0.6-2.el6.

   Possible solution: build for EPEL6 the RHEL perl package but with a lower
   release number.


 * perl-Devel-StackTrace-AsHTML: IIRC requires a more recent version of 
   perl-Devel-StackTrace than the one available in the RHEL optional channels


 * some versions of perl-Plack can be build if:
     1) the Devel-StackTrace-AsHTML module is built without running its
        test suite
     2) the version is dropped from the Devel-StackStrace build requirement

    Build status of perl-Plack packages (several months old):
      - perl-Plack-0.9974-2 (OK)
      - perl-Plack-0.9977-1 (fails to build)
      - perl-Plack-0.9980-1 (test warnings)
      - perl-Plack-0.9982-1 (OK)
      - perl-Plack-0.9984-1 (OK)


 * perl-Dancer 1.3071
    - which requires perl-Plack
    - requires a more recent version of Test::More
    - the singleton test fails under perl 5.10.1 (?)
