Is it possible to exclude files from being included into the package? I am having a little trouble with Data::Calc and its requirement Bit::Vector. Both distributions include a Carp::Clan module and this creates a file conflict for RPM when trying to install them. I would like to exclude Carp/Clan.pm from Date::Calc where it should never have been included in the first place. - Ian |

there's a way to exclude the requirements meta-data in the rpm but not to exclude a module included in a package. if two packages conflict, that problem should be resolved elsewhere. - e p.s. should I copy you or are you subscribed to the list? -----Original Message----- From: cpa...@li...

If one of the modules you're installing is pure perl, you can do cpan2rpm --shadow --install Date::Calc to avoid rpm conflicts, This allows you to install two packages with the exact same module. The one with --shadow will "win" because it comes before the default in the @INC. -- Rob |
