* Jeff shaped the electrons to say...
Rather than a yum repository (that needs to be kept up to date, and can
get out of date easily, etc), I've learned that FC5 tends to "just
have" a lot of the stuff that we need.
Couldn't we just:
(1) Get rid of the stuff in SlimServer's "local" CPAN directory,
(2) Get the dependencies "right" in the RPM so other FC5 components (if
any) are installed automatically, and
(3) For the PERL CPAN stuff (since this isn't RPM packages), have
.rpmspec code that verifies the "right stuff" is installed, or install
using CPAN archives that already exist?
I'm not sure what was done on Debian. But I know that I just recently
installed MythTV, and 99% of the dependencies were already satisfied by
what FC5 offers "out of the box" ...
Jeff - yes, that's a good direction to go in.
The Debian package doesn't have a 'CPAN' directory at all. Instead, there is
a list of dependencies:

Some of this are available via Debian's official apt, some of those we provide.
