QA (public)

Motivation¶

I was just told by Olaf Hering that %autosetup always needs to be called with -p1

The reason is that there are other ways to retroactively add patches to a package, without changing the spec file, and for that it is exepected that %autosetup -p1 is in the spec file.

obs cat -u home:olh:SLE_15/zypper _link, damit wird zusätzlich ein Patch eingefügt, welcher dann von %autosetup erkannt und angewendet wird.

A while ago, cpanspec was changed to be called like

• %autosetup if there are no patches
• %autosetup if there are more than one patches, but have different -p arguments
• %autosetup -p1 if there is one or more patches which all have the common -p1
• %autosetup -p0 if there is one or more patches which all have the common -p0

Acceptance Criteria¶

AC1: %autosetup in devel:languages:perl specs is always called with -p1

Suggestions¶

• Might be as easy as reverting the change described above
• Make sure all packages are updated at some point, but it is not urgent. #164314 might help with that, as this also needs updating a lot of packages
• Start with patching https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:perl/perl-Encode-IMAPUTF7 as this is the one needing a patch: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=149091
