cpan Module::Build install problem - Argument list too long
by Philippe Lang 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi, I'm facing a bug when trying to install a perl module from CPAN, which requires the installation of Module::Build first. This bug is apparently not new: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=19406. And until now, I was not able to find a workaround. Setting the environment variables LANG or LC_ALL to C (tips I could find on internet) did not correct anything. The problem is the following: if you type > cpan Module::Build ... After a while, you get: Running make test /usr/bin/perl Build --makefile_env_macros 1 test t/basic...........ok t/compat..........ok 2/60Couldn't run Build.PL: Argument list too long at /root/.cpan/build/Module-Build-0.2801/blib/lib/Module/Build/Compat.pm line 200. # Failed test (t/compat.t at line 180) t/compat..........NOK 3# Failed test (t/compat.t at line 181) t/compat..........NOK 4make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

I did the same job under FreeBSD 6.1 just before, without any problem. Does anyone have an idea how I can install this Module? Is there maybe an RPM package in order to install Module::Build?

CPAN Module RPMs
by Dave Cross 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

I've just started to dabble with packaging RPMs from CPAN modules and making them available for download (see http://rpm.mag-sol.com/) This had brought up a number of questions that people on this list would probably be best placed to answer. 1/ Currently I've been using cpan2rpm to build the RPMs. Are there any better tools out there? What do you use to create RPMs from CPAN distributions? 2/ Are there any good tools for building web pages from RPMs. I've played with rpm2html but I don't want to my web pages to look like it's still 1998. Something that interfaces with the Template Toolkit would be great, and I'd be happy to write that if it doesn't already exist. 3/ I assume there are standards that define how CPAN modules should be packaged for use with Fedora (I'm largely targeting Fedora - if the RPMs work with other distributions then that's a bonus). Are they documented somewhere? Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated. Cheers, Dave... -- Site: http://dave.org.uk/ Blog: http://blog.dave.org.uk/

[Bug 178580] New: /etc/sysconfig/spamassasin is always modified

All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178580 Summary: /etc/sysconfig/spamassasin is always modified Product: Fedora Core Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: normal Component: spamassassin AssignedTo: wtogami(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: wtogami(a)redhat.com CC: fedora-perl-devel- list@redhat.com,felicity@kluge.net,jm@jmason.org,parkerm @pobox.com,reg+redhat@sidney.com,wtogami@redhat.com QA discovered that /etc/sysconfig/spamassasin is being replaced during every package intallation or upgrade. # -a and --auto-whitelist options were removed from 3.0.0 # prevent service startup failure perl -p -i -e 's/(["\s]-\w+)a/$1/ ; s/(["\s]-)a(\w+)/$1$2/ ; s/(["\s])-a\b/$1/' /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin perl -p -i -e 's/ --auto-whitelist//' /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin Since FC3 spamassassin.spec %post contained this to remove user added options during an upgrade from pre-3.0 SA that caused the new version to fail. QA discovered that this perl syntax actually creates another file and deletes the original file. This means that even if no change happens, the file has a different timestamp and selinux security context. Impact: Not much, but it should be fixed some time in the future. Fix: This probably involves testing before doing the modification in order to avoid an unnecessary replacement. In the replacement case chcon is needed in order to maintain the correct selinux context. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
