Summary: sa-compile check for ExtUtils::MakeMaker before re2c
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 3.2.4
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

Fedora 8+ has split out certain headers and development related perl modules
into separate packages and a perl-devel package by distribution packaging
policy. Also by our packaging policy, ordinary applications and server daemons
should not need development tools, headers and such for runtime operation. We
discovered that sa-compile of spamassassin is causing perl module
ExtUtils::MakeMaker to be pulled in as a dependency which also pulls in
perl-devel.
We now considering filtering out ExtUtils::MakeMaker from spamassassin's
dependencies in order to prevent it from pulling several -devel packages. I am
wondering if spamassassin upstream can agree to add a simple detection of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker to sa-compile and print out a sensible error message if it
isn't installed?
Thanks,
Warren
