[Perlgssapi-developer] GSSAPI and cpan2rpm

Is there some metadata missing?

$ cpan2rpm GSSAPI-0.18.tar.gz
CPAN+ not found - using old interface

-- module: GSSAPI-0.18.tar.gz --
Metadata retrieval
Tarball extraction:
[/data/home/dkelson/redhat/SOURCES/GSSAPI-0.18.tar.gz]
No version found, please use --version option.  Stopped
at /usr/bin/cpan2rpm line 577.
-- Done --

For most all CPAN modules I create RPMs from, I do not have to supply
--version.

According to the man page for cpan2rpm:

"The script determines the version number of the module by consulting
the Makefile.PL=E2=80=99s VERSION or VERSION_FROM fields."

Maybe...
I've not thought on that.
What Metadata in what format has to be added?
(I am not using CPAN+).

Thank you,

The Makefile goes like this:

>WriteMakefile(
     LIBS               =3D> join (' ', @GSSLIBS),
    'NAME'              =3D> 'GSSAPI',
    'VERSION_FROM'      =3D> 'GSSAPI.pm',
    'PREREQ_PM'         =3D> { 'Test::More' =3D> 0 },
    @LDDLFLAGS,
    'DEFINE'            =3D> join (' ', @EXTRADEFINES),
    'INC'               =3D> $incconf,
    'macro'             =3D> { OTHER_XS =3D> $otherxs },
    'depend'            =3D> { 'GSSAPI.c' =3D> '$(OTHER_XS)' }
);

Try what happens if you change that to

>WriteMakefile(
     LIBS               =3D> join (' ', @GSSLIBS),
    'NAME'              =3D> 'GSSAPI',
    'VERSION'           =3D> '0.18',
    'PREREQ_PM'         =3D> { 'Test::More' =3D> 0 },
    @LDDLFLAGS,
    'DEFINE'            =3D> join (' ', @EXTRADEFINES),
    'INC'               =3D> $incconf,
    'macro'             =3D> { OTHER_XS =3D> $otherxs },
    'depend'            =3D> { 'GSSAPI.c' =3D> '$(OTHER_XS)' }
);


and let me know, i will change that in distribution if that
breaks things.

That didn't seem to work. I'm not sure why the original doesn't work
either.

You can get a copy of cpan2rpm from:

http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/

from the manual:

--version=float-value
 
The script determines the version number of the module by consulting the 
Makefile.PL's VERSION or VERSION_FROM fields. If neither is specified, it 
parses the tarball name. 

Hmm.

First - what happens if your run
 cpan2rpm with option --version?

Does that find the version number?

It works if you do:

cpan2rpm --version 0.18 GSSAPI-0.18.tar.gz

It is just that the --version really shouldn't be needed.

But that means that my module provides the version number
where cpan2rpm is searching.

I dont't *know* where to put additionally information.
I don't know where the cpan2rpm is searching for it.

I will have a look into cpan2rpm, but maybe it is faster
if you tell me where your cpan2rpm is searching for information ;-)
