Bug ID: 2063919
Summary: Packages Perl tests should not generate Provides
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Status: NEW
Component: perl-generators
Assignee: jplesnik(a)redhat.com
Reporter: ppisar(a)redhat.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: jplesnik(a)redhat.com, mspacek(a)redhat.com,
perl-devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, ppisar(a)redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
I noticed that packaged tests in /usr/libexec/... generates Provides because
they are matched by perllib.attr:
$ cat /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perllib.attr
%__perllib_provides %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.prov
%__perllib_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.req
%__perllib_magic ^Perl[[:digit:]] module source.*
%__perllib_path \\.pm$
%__perllib_flags magic_and_path
I think they were meant to be only covered with perltest.attr:
# cat /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perltest.attr
%__perltest_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.req
%__perltest_magic ^.*[Pp]erl[[:digit:]]* .*$
%__perltest_path /usr/libexec/.*\\.(pl|pm|t)$
%__perltest_flags magic_and_path
But perltest.attr is more similar to perl.attr, it's about scripts:
$ cat /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/perl.attr
%__perl_requires %{_rpmconfigdir}/perl.req
%__perl_magic ^.*[Pp]erl .*$
%__perl_flags exeonly
Would it be possible to change perllib.attr to match only files under
/usr/{share,lib,lib64}/perl?
Observed with perl-generators-1.13-5.fc36.noarch.
(I find out that filtering those Provides with %__exclude_provides is a problem
when the tests involve symlinks to modules in the main package. See
perl-Module-Install-TestBase-tests-0.86-24.fc36 which erroneously provides
perl(Module::Install::TestBase)
<
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1892296>. I will try to
work it around on packaged file level in perl-Module-Install-TestBase.)
