new perl package needs newer versions of dependancies.
by Christopher McCrory
Hello...
I am trying to add a new perl Yahoo-Marketing module package to
fedora/epel, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524698. One of
the dependencies is for perl-Test-Class. The current fedora package
requires newer versions of several existing modules.
from koji scratch build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1693325&name=build.log
+ /usr/bin/perl Build.PL installdirs=vendor
- ERROR: Test::More (0.62) is installed, but we need version >= 0.78
- ERROR: perl (5.008008) is installed, but we need version >= 5.6001
- ERROR: Test::Builder (0.32) is installed, but we need version >= 0.78
- ERROR: Test::Simple (0.62) is installed, but we need version >= 0.78
ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES. You may wish to install the versions
of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation
Checking whether your kit is complete...
Looks good
Checking prerequisites...
Creating new 'Build' script for 'Test-Class' version '0.31'
What is the general consensus on updating EPEL perl modules as
requirements for other perl modules? Yes? maybe? never? maintainers
choice?

EPEL is gone
by Mike McGrath
Some process went nuts and now some of the EPEL dirs are missing. We're
working on getting them back quickly and trying to figure out what went
wrong. Sorry for the confusion.

EL-5 comps versus FEL collection
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello there,
On Fedora, we have a comps group 'electronic-lab' which facilitates
the users' life to install FEL (Fedora Electronic Lab) collection:
# yum groupinstall 'Electronic Lab'
I wish to have a similar comps group for the EPEL-5 branch. Of course,
not all packages under the FEL collection are in EPEL-5 branch due to
compatibility reasons. If you are interested to follow FEL packages
found in Fedora branches and EPEL-5 branch please visit
* For detailed list with respective versions and build dates:
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/list.html
* FEL-12 Release Notes (EPEL-5 Repository Section)
http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/papers/FEL12ReleaseNotes.pdf
We already have 42 packages of the FEL collections in EPEL-5
repository. I really want to extend FEL support for the EL
distributions as our userbase is growing and requesting long term
support.
Kind Regards,
Chitlesh Goorah
