2) qtp-newmodel uses RPM package names (following the rpmforge naming
convention) to model Perl dependencies; a better way is to use RPM's
own Perl-specific dependency format, e.g. 'perl(LWP::UserAgent)'
instead of 'perl-LWP-UserAgent'. this enables yum to be more flexible
about dependency solving and not try to install a third-party package
which will conflict with an existing core package.
attached is a patch to qtp-newmodel which makes the appropriate
changes; i just did a cursory test on my own system, and it seems to
work OK. Jake, please consider merging it for a future release? FYI,
if QmailToaster needs specific versions of Perl modules, RPM's Perl
dependency syntax supports that as well, e.g. 'perl(LWP::UserAgent) >=
5.805' instead of 'perl(LWP::UserAgent)'.
so, to sum up:
Thomas, please configure the priorities plugin to protect your core
packages from being clobbered.
Jake, please modify qtp-newmodel so that it doesn't needlessly try to
clobber core packages. :)
Steve, please open a ticket for this on qtp.qmailtoaster.com. I do not
maintain the qtp-newmodel script personally but if you open a ticket
(including the patch) then it will at least be on our "work sheet" when
we get ready for the next release. I try and clean up as many bugs as
I'm aware of before cutting a new release so if this is not fixed by the
time I cut a new release I will see it on the ticket report and will
remember to do something about it if no one else does it first.
Thanks.
