--- Comment #9 from Jason Tibbitts <tibbs(a)math.uh.edu> ---
I just had to make a few perl packages and indeed, cpanspec really needs an
update.
The big one is that it's missing BuildRequires: perl and perl-generators, which
are likely to confuse packagers who aren't familiar with the current rules. (
The Fedora guidelines have progressed to the point where some things that
cpanspec does are now prohibited (with "SHOULD", so their use requires an
explanation in the specfile). Use of BuildRoot:, %defattr in %files, %clean,
removal of the buildroot as the first line of %install. It should use
%autosetup and %make_build.
I can probably work up a patch to fix some of these, but as the patch in this
ticket hasn't been applied I'm not sure whether there is any desire to see
cpanspec catch up with current guidelines. It's still useful in any case, but
not really a good thing for beginners to use.
