Using the "--nodeps" at install time allows you to bypass deependencies for perl libs that you may already have via bundled rpms....so for example: /bin/rpm --nodeps -Uv foo.rpm Richard Siddall <[email protected]> wrote: Hello, I'm packaging up a Perl application that uses mod_perl and HTML::Mason and was wondering if anyone could point me at some information on extending rpm's AutoRequires as I'd like to automatically pull Perl dependencies from at least the HTML::Mason handler file. RPM's standard AutoRequires ignores that file as it has a .pl extension. I've found some stuff on the Fedora Project's web site on overriding the PerlRequires mechanism to filter out unwanted results (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl), and assume I can override the whole of AutoRequires similarly. Before I start reverse-engineering how AutoRequires works, I thought I would check to see if anyone has done this before and documented how to do it. (A google search came up empty.) I'm not happy with hand-maintaining as large a set of dependencies as this application's HTML::Mason handler has.
