To throw myself into openpkg (and because I want to play with rt) I thought
I would try to get rt built. I saw it in the current tree and was excited
because it appears to be a bear to get installed. Well - it appears to be a
little tricky with openpkg too (okay, I know current is supposed to be
unstable). The rt package (rt-2.0.15-20021005.src.rpm) does not list any
build pre-reqs other than openpkg itself. I know there is a lot more - I
started with perl-dbi and all its pre-reqs. Then I found that the rt.spec
file had the wrong regular expressions for the rt Makefile - all the spaces
should be tabs (I can provide a patch, but I suspect there is a better
solutions than just replacing spaces with tabs - what kind of regular
expressions does shtool support?). Anyhow - know I get a complaint that
DBIx/DataSource.pm cannot be found (from DBIx::DataSource my perl research
shows). I don't see perl module package that seems to fulfill that. Is there
one? or is the rt package quite unready (the fact that as shipped it was
using /usr/bin/perl I suspect it really does need some work)? Hope this does
not come off as whining - I am really excited about openpkg instead of
always rolling my own recipes for building open source software.
