Seems to be similar to a related problem in EPEL with respect to messing

I know I broke it with mixed repos and priorities, and I get to keep all
the pieces, but any suggestions or package fixes appreciated.
The ATrpms and EPEL package names are wrong. The upstream CPAN package
name is called Date-Manip and not DateManip.
[r...@lisse ~]# zgrep ^Date::Manip 02packages.details.txt.gz
Date::Manip 5.54
S/SB/SBECK/Date-Manip-5.54.tar.gz
That's both correct and not. :)
ATrpms' old version 5.42a had an upstream name "DateManip":
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136302 Jul 3 2003
DateManip-5.42a.tar.gz
Ouch :-) Thanks for clarifying.
That also explains why upstream is doing it that way.
Beware that the CPAN package name is often, but not always named the same
as (one of) the perl module(s). But in some occasions it is not. In this
case both the CPAN package and module would indicate the RPM package to
become perl-Date-Manip.
This should both be reported to ATrpms and the Fedora project in order to
get this fixed.
I agree, the new version should be called perl-Date-Manip just like
you did. But actually I hope I don't have to package it and just merge
in using yours. Still could you please obsolete the old name in your
package to ensure upgrade paths from the old name to the new one?
I think I did. But since upstream is using the old name:
[r...@lisse rpms]# locate perl-DateManip | grep noarch.rpm$
/dar/mrepo/rhel2.1as-i386/updates/perl-DateManip-5.39-5.noarch.rpm
/dar/mrepo/rhel3as-i386/updates/perl-DateManip-5.42a-0.rhel3.noarch.rpm
/dar/mrepo/rhel3as-x86_64/updates/perl-DateManip-5.42a-0.rhel3.noarch.rpm
/dar/mrepo/rhel4as-i386/updates/perl-DateManip-5.42a-3.noarch.rpm
/dar/mrepo/rhel4as-x86_64/updates/perl-DateManip-5.42a-3.noarch.rpm
/dar/mrepo/rhel5s-i386/updates/perl-DateManip-5.44-1.2.1.noarch.rpm
/dar/mrepo/rhel5s-x86_64/updates/perl-DateManip-5.44-1.2.1.noarch.rpm
I am not sure if what we are proposing is the best (pragmatic) solution.
Given that it is unlikely that upstream is going to change the name, I
think I should rename it to perl-DateManip (even when that is not
according to the naming convention).
What do you think ?
