Thanks Petr. I knew that was the older method, but from what I read
in the guidelines, I didn't think it was known to be broken. The Perl
guidelines say:
"In the past, several other methods were given for doing this
filtering. Those should be considered deprecated and packages
should be updated to use the macros on [[2]] as time and the
natural rebuild cycle permits."
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl?rd=Packaging/Perl#Filtering_Requires_and_Provides
I took that to mean that the older method was expected to continue to
work. I have tried hard to ensure that git is easily rebuilt for EL,
as RHEL ships an ancient git in EL6 and many folks want something more
recent (myself included). I can certainly convert git to use the new
methods on supported Fedora releases, but I was hoping to not have to
do so just yet. :)
