--- Comment #1 from Jose Pedro Oliveira <jpo(a)di.uminho.pt> ---
Problems:
* system perl is too old for certain packages
RHEL6 ships with perl 5.10.1
* The core perl module Test::More is definitely too old; this is also a core
RHEL package (perl-Test-Simple-0.92)
Lots of perl modules require a more recent version of Test::More in order
to successfully run their test suites.
* perl-Authen-Simple, which is already available in epel-testing, requires
perl(Crypt::PasswdMD5) and this module isn't available in the RHEL PPC64
repositories.
I'm amazed how koji allowed me to build and push to epel-6-testing
perl-Authen-Simple-0.4-5.el6 and perl-Authen-Simple-Passwd-0.6-2.el6.
Possible solution: build for EPEL6 the RHEL perl package but with a lower
release number.
* perl-Devel-StackTrace-AsHTML: IIRC requires a more recent version of
perl-Devel-StackTrace than the one available in the RHEL optional channels
* some versions of perl-Plack can be build if:
1) the Devel-StackTrace-AsHTML module is built without running its
test suite
2) the version is dropped from the Devel-StackStrace build requirement
Build status of perl-Plack packages (several months old):
- perl-Plack-0.9974-2 (OK)
- perl-Plack-0.9977-1 (fails to build)
- perl-Plack-0.9980-1 (test warnings)
- perl-Plack-0.9982-1 (OK)
- perl-Plack-0.9984-1 (OK)
* perl-Dancer 1.3071
- which requires perl-Plack
- requires a more recent version of Test::More
- the singleton test fails under perl 5.10.1 (?)
