Hi,
perl-Language-Expr FTBFS in rawhide and F20 (since F20 was rawhide).
There is some crazy stuff in Perl itself that prevents
perl-Regexp-Grammars to work properly and perl-Language-Expr cannot work
without proper perl-Regexp-Grammars.
This leads to perl-Language-Expr in F20 being from F19 and having
unresolved dependencies on perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.16.2).
* It makes mess when updating F19 to F20
* It emails me on daily basic
* I cannot fix it
However, new version of upstream Language::Expr is out, that disables
tests, while still not being functional. I would like to update
perl-Language-Expr in F20 and rawhide. That would lead to:
* No more mess
* No more email for me
* Nonfunctional package in Fedora
While I believe that nonfunctional package is a bad think, I believe
that anything is better than the situation now.
Any thoughts?
It sounds like this would just hide the issues from you. If it's
nonfunctional, why not retire perl-Language-Expr instead?
