Summary: Unbundle DateTime::Locale and DateTime::TimeZone

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730658

   Summary: Unbundle DateTime::Locale and DateTime::TimeZone
   Product: Fedora
   Version: rawhide
  Platform: Unspecified
OS/Version: Unspecified
Status: NEW
  Severity: unspecified
  Priority: unspecified
 Component: perl-DateTime
AssignedTo: st...@silug.org
ReportedBy: iarn...@gmail.com
 QAContact: extras...@fedoraproject.org
CC: st...@silug.org, iarn...@gmail.com,
fedora-perl-devel-l...@redhat.com
Classification: Fedora
  Story Points: ---
  Type: ---


Our perl-DateTime package bundles DateTime::Locale and DateTime::TimeZone. To
simplify maintenance, I would like to unbundle them and maintain them as
separate packages. (DateTime::TimeZone gets updated fairly frequently, but it's
not possible to get automatic notifications from Upstream Release Monitoring,
for example). It's also worth noting that neither suse nor debian bundle these
modules.

The original rationale for bundling was due to circular (build) dependencies.
This no longer applies for DateTime::Locale (DateTime::Locale does not require
DateTime). For DateTime::TimeZone, the circular dependencies can temporarily be
avoided using perl_bootstrap macro and appropriate filtering.

I've filed bug 730656 and bug 730657 for review of new perl-DateTime-Locale and
perl-DateTime-TimeZone packages.

--- Comment #1 from Iain Arnell iarn...@gmail.com 2011-08-15 05:40:40 EDT ---
I've prepared an updated spec that only includes DateTime. And since upstream
doesn't appear to have used 4 digits in the version number for a couple of
years, now, I think it's worthwhile bumping epoch again and reverting to
upstream's 2 digit version number.

Spec URL: http://iarnell.home.xs4all.nl/review/perl-DateTime.spec
SRPM URL:

Unless Steve shows up, I would also appreciate a review of the changes here
too. It's not strictly required, but I basically rebuilt the spec from scratch,
so I think having a second pair of eyes take a look would be sensible.

Hello Emmanuel,
I didn't package Switch module on purpose. Switch was removed from perl
core, because it had a lot of bug reports. I suppose using if-else is
safer.
Switch was packaged last week by spot, so maintainers could use it, but
they don't have to if they wish.

Or use Perl's native switch syntax: given/when. See Switch

Um, given/when have almost the same amount of bugs ;-) I'm not saying do
not use new syntax. But as a maintainer of many packages I prefer older
syntax.

There are two solutions:
a/ don't ship sub-package from core perl and override them by package in 
Fedora. This will work well for perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib - 2.033 in perl, 
2.037 in separated package, but we will have borken debuginfo.
b/ remove dual life modules, which are outside of perl - will solve 
problem of broken debuginfo
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=694704
Removal doesn't work for perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib, but it might work for 
other packages. Core modules are now updated more often, so we might not 
need dual life process.

Opinions? Better proposal?

Doesn't broken debuginfo only come into play if we install the package
from cpan into core archlib directory. As long as we keep it in
separate vendorarch, there's no problem.

Anything but this. We *will* end up wanting newer versions at some
point and be forced to go back to using unwieldy patches in perl.spec
again.

Well, since Jesse then came back and wrote that koji doesn't seem to
be affected after all:

 Upon further looking at the koji problem, these packages may not actually be 
 causing my root issue, since they do come from separate SRPMs.


How about option (c). Keep things just as they are?

Or if there is a problem with koji, how about (d) fix koji. It's a
broken assumption that only binary sub-packages from a single source
rpm can exist in an external repo (I use koji at work to build
packages against SLES - Novell has a habit of releasing only affected
sub-packages as updates - if they fix a problem that only affects
bind-libs, for example, you'll only see a new bind-libs rpm in their
updates repo and be expected to install that with the original base
package. I'm fairly certain that I patched mergerepo to ignore this
restriction).
