--- Comment #3 from Dick Franks <rwfra...@acm.org> --- I have no evidence of this behaviour with Fedora or RHEL, but there is no guarantee that will always remain so. However, this has happened in the past when doing CPAN installs, and Net::DNS::SEC was removed from the metadata for that specific reason. The test scripts take account of the likely absence of Net::DNS::SEC and the supplied pre-install tests should all run successfully. In the specific case of Net::DNS::SEC, the tests in perl-Net-DNS-SEC also cover the relevant parts of Net::DNS. Some or all of the optional dependencies need not be present when the RPM is built, but will be conditionally compiled in when executed on the end-user's machine. If some situation arises where this fails, responsibility for fixing it belongs upstream. Fedora/RHEL end users only install the RPM and are never exposed to the tests. Installation of perl-Net-DNS-SEC MUST be a deliberate action by the end user who must bear the legal consequences of so doing. See README in the Net::DNS::SEC distribution and at openssl.org/source/ There is no reason for the RPM Perl dependencies not to be in sync with the CPAN metadata. From the end-user pov, loading the RPM should be more or less equivalent to installing from CPAN. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
