Summary: cpan2rpm doesn't work when first file in tarball isn't a directory Product: Fedora Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: cpan2rpm AssignedTo: ghenry@suretecsystems.com ReportedBy: jik@kamens.brookline.ma.us QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@redhat.com
Tried to run "cpan2rpm Tk". The first file in Tk-804.027.tar.gz is Tk- 804.027/COPYING, i.e., it isn't the root directory of the tarball, which is what cpan2rpm is expecting. cpan2rpm fails with:
get_meta(): Not a directory at /usr/bin/cpan2rpm line 393.
I added a bit more info to that error message and it reports:
get_meta(): chdir(/tmp/ZhnL73u9em/Tk-804.027/COPYING): Not a directory at /usr/bin/cpan2rpm line 393.

------- Additional Comments From steve@silug.org 2007-07-18 13:55 EST ------- I know this isn't what you asked, but a) Tk is already in Fedora ("yum install 'perl(Tk)'"), and b) you might want to try cpanspec (also in Fedora).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
