Hi all,

Continuing down by build dependency hole, I ran into another circular dependency. I checked in perl-namespace-autoclean.spec for the bootstrap option, but it didn't seem to exist. I added it, and it allowed me to build -> install perl-namespace-autoclean, then build -> install perl-MooseX-Role-WithOverloading, then rebuild perl-namespace-autoclean normally.

Was this the right approach? I worry not because obviously you guys compiled them before.

perl-namespace-autoclean was updated in EPEL from version 0.13 to version 0.19. Version 0.13 did not have the build dependency on perl(MooseX::Role::WithOverloading) and thus was able to build successfully. By the time the upgrade to 0.19 happened, perl-MooseX-Role-WithOverloading had been built (pulling in the existing perl-namespace-autoclean 0.13) and so there was no problem doing that version 0.19 build.

If you look at the master branch of perl-namespace-autoclean, you'll see that there's now a bootstrapping conditional around the perl(MooseX::Role::WithOverloading) build requirement.

What you did is fine.

Paul.

Ah, excellent, thanks for clarifying!
