The current suggestion on the Packaging/Perl wiki page is (for Requires,
Provides works the same) is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Filter unwanted Requires:
cat << \EOF > %{name}-req
#!/bin/sh
%{__perl_requires} $* |\
sed -e '/perl(unwanted_require)/d'
EOF
%define __perl_requires %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/%{name}-req
chmod +x %{__perl_requires}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This won't work for the majority of perl modules because the build
directory is %{_builddir}/MODULENAME-%{version} rather than
%{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}.
A simpler way that avoids generating script files at all might be:
%global filtered_requires sh -c '%{__perl_requires} "$@" | %{__sed} -e
"/^perl(unwanted_require)$/d"'
%define __perl_requires %{filtered_requires}
Anyone see any problems with this?
P.S. I'm not an rpm macro expert and don't really know the significance
of %global but using %define in its place results in a recursive macro
definition, which doesn't work.
Paul.
