--- Comment #4 from Ralf Corsepius <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Remi Collet from comment #3) > > Perl-modules are supposed to own all directories ... > I will never understand why this exception to common Guidelines still > exists... It have sense when %{perl_vendorarch} was versionned... but now ? And I will never understand why Fedora has not adopted this on a wider scale, because the need to track parent packages is the origin of numerous installation/uninstallation issues in Fedora. Anyway, the answer is quite simply: KISS. Most perl modules no not have strict dependencies on parent packages, which means there also are no strict deps on parent directories. To avoid getting lost in dir-ownership problems, when perl-modules change, we once agreed to generalize for reasons of simplicity and treat all perl-modules as "plugins". Admitted, in case of this particuliar package is bit stretching this thought, but this approach has helped kept packaging simple and avoiding many issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
