I created testing repo [1] with two updated core modules
and updates repo with perl(core) packages.
I've tested this scenario:
1/ perl package with perl-Module-Build-0.3500-110.fc13 and perl-version-0.77-110.fc13
2/ update from [1] to perl-Module-Build-0.3603-1.perltestrepo.noarch.rpm and perl-version-0.79-1.perltestrepo.i686.rpm
3/ enable 'marcaperl-update.repo'
4/ update to perl-5.10.1-112.1.perltestrepo.i386.rpm, perl-version-0.80-112.1.perltestrepo.i386.rpm, perl-Module-Build-0.3500-112.1.perltestrepo.i386.rpm
This should test whether yum can handle lower version in main and higher
in separated package (Module::Build). The update of packages went fine if
'Obsoletes' is used in new package [2]. My proposal of updates shouldn't
be included in packaging guidelines, so we should be able to change it
flexibly to the current situation. Not sure if this change of packaging
core modules must be discussed by FESCO because it's not mentioned in
Packaging:Perl, but it could be viewed as conflict with common PackagingGuidelines.
Also the time is not good with further disscusion on other channels,
so please check/test, whether I missed something.
Best regards,
Marcela
