I'd definitely like to see cpanflute2 be a bit smarter about
package/directory/tarball names. I'd like to see it peek inside the tarball
directory structure to cook up the right %setup directive, allowing the
tarball name to have no relation to the BUILD directory name.
Until recently I needed a patched version of MIME::tools that came in a
file named MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-3.tar.gz which confused cpanflute2
badly. (The package has since been adopted by the MIMEDefang maintainer and
has a more reasonable tarball filename.)
Downloading from CPAN is, unfortunately, not an entirely clean
operation.
What does CPAN.pm do to accomplish this?
I recently needed to install CGI::Builder and after a brief attempt at
using cpanflute2, I gave up and went to /usr/bin/cpan to install the
associated Bundle module. It would be great if some kind RPM mechanism was
available to do the equivalent.
