I have now build perl collections for perl 5.8.0 (RedHat 8) and 5.8.8
(RHEL5) on CentOS 5, but I noticed that the brp-compress script does not
compress man pages in the scl directory hierarchy. What I did to
overcome this is add the following lines to the %install section of my
spec file:
if [ -x /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress ]; then
sed -e 's!/usr/!%{_prefix}/!g' /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress
brp-compress
sh ./brp-compress
fi
