[Rt-devel] FWD: Re: dh-make-perl with RTx::Shredder-- buggy?

[Jens Porup]

Greetings,

Trying to package RTx::Shredder as a debian package using dh-make-perl
barfs--badly.

Here's the relevant discussion from the debian-perl list.

Thoughts?

Jens

Ok, this happens because the RTx build phase is interactive - it
expects user input when it prompts:

Path to your RT.pm:

...So I guess it is a missing dependency - But it is the module's
fault. As a human, I was not easily able to find it. I suppose RT is
some kind of request tracker system, but cannot find much about it.

Do you agree if we tag this as a module's bug, not dh-make-perl's?
