I don't see anything wrong with this package, it looks sane. approved.
I do see many issues
a) This package is not a CPAN distro, it's a submodule of Test::Harness
Could you please point me to the part of Perl packaging guidelines that you believe to be violated by this?
b) This package doesn't install correctly - It wants to replace Test::Harness
How? I've double chcecked that this package don't have a single common provide with anything that is in RHEL5 with EPEL and Fedora 9. The SPEC file contains no Replaces nor Obsoletes tag. I also believe there is no file conflict. If you feel that there is a flaw in how I ensured to neither conflict with anything, nor replace anything please be more specific, e.g. provide a specific example.
c) This package will collide with a future upgrade of Test::Harness
There is a mechanism to deal with this -- I was asked to file a bug against F10 perl, so that included Test-Harness will be upgraded to TAP::Harness based version 3.10. I will do so shortly. There will be no need for this package to ever make it into F10 Rawhide then.
Only possible problem I can imagine would be a case where a hypothetical package would require perl-TAP-Harness instead of perl(TAP::Harness). In that case it is not a problem of this package, nor an unsolvable problem.
You are outsmarting yourselves.
Thanks for being polite and concentrating on providing well-verified facts.
DISAPPROVING.
