            Bug ID: 906007
           Summary: Please revert the "unbundling" of
                    "inc::Module::Install::DSL", at least when
                    bootstrapping
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: perl-File-Remove
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
          Reporter: paul(a)city-fan.org

A recent change to the perl-File-Remove package involved removing the bundled
Module::Install::DSL and adding a BuildRequires for it. A side-effect of this
is that perl-File-Remove and perl-Module-Install now BuildRequire each other,
which will prevent a clean bootstrapping of the next major perl release.

Please consider reverting this change, or conditionalizing it on not being a
bootstrap build (using the %{?perl_bootstrap} macro).

I can't understand why this was done in the first place, as it's not a library
bundling issue (the bundled module is not shipped in the built package), and
seems akin to deleting a "configure" script and re-running the autotools, which
goes contrary to upstream methodology.

Taking the bug as I'm the one responsible for this change.

This was done to simplify the explicit build-time dependency list but I admit
this introduces other possible issues, e.g. this one.

There are similar issues affecting a number of other packages too. I haven't
looked into all of them yet but it looks like perl-File-HomeDir,
perl-Module-ScanDeps, perl-Module-Install-AutoManifest,
perl-Module-Install-ExtraTests, perl-Module-Install-Repository and
perl-XML-SAX-Writer also have circular dependency issues involving
perl-Module-Install.

I'll take a look at them tomorrow too.

Fixing this issue in the above listed packages looks to have cleared up (when
done) all remaining circular build dependency issues in the perl ecosystem in
Rawhide, apart from a few dual-lived core modules that need special treatment.
