A Perl module I'm trying to package depends on Pod::Perldoc v3.14.
Earlier versions of that module are provided by the core Perl (e.g.
v3.13 is in Perl 5.8.6 and v3.10 is in Perl 5.8.1), however our Perl
packages (e.g. perl581.info) do not list pod-perldoc-pm in the
Provides area.
If I do package pod-perldoc-pm v3.14:
* Do we need to update perl58x.info to add Provides/Conflicts for
pod-perldoc-pm?
* Does my package need to Conflict with perl581-core?
* Does my package need to be Perl-versioned?
...
perlXXX-core is installed in a separate location from where packaged
perl modules go (%p/lib/perl5-core instead of %p/lib/perl5), so no
Conflicts or Replaces is necessary here.
...
Aha! I forgot that the perlXXX-core have their own install
locations. That solves the issue for any .pm files. However, the
pod-perldoc-pm package I'm creating also includes /sw/bin/perldoc in
a -bin splitoff. /sw/bin/perldoc is provided by perl581, so I guess
that splitoff will have to Conflict, right?
For now I'm punting. I managed to get AnnoCPAN::Perldoc to work
against the Pod::Perldoc v3.13 that comes with Perl 5.8.6 instead of
truly needing v3.14.
FUTURE NOTE: I request that the next time anyone is touching
perlXXX.info, they please add a provides for pod-perldoc-pm with the
version numbers specified at the top of this message. That's very
low priority for now.
Thanks!
