Well I have an installable rpm - I have some friends keen to help out
and test them from scratch...
I can guarantee that they will be broken :-) with probably some missing
dependencies, broken perl due to these changes, an no real ILS system
configuration but it's a starting point nevertheless

Actually no I don't understand - but I don't need to yet. I'm just
packaging everything up and resolving dependencies - the next step when
testing is started then yes I'll need to know a little more.
The reason for the problems with perl module package decls are due to
the way rpmbuild creates the rpm dependencies:
$rpm -i --test Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
***
perl(OpenILS::Application::Storage::Driver::Pg::cdbi) is needed
by Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenILS::Application::Storage::Driver::Pg::dbi) is needed
by Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenILS::Application::Storage::Driver::Pg::fts) is needed
by Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenILS::Application::Storage::Driver::Pg::storage) is
needed by Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenILS::Utils::Fieldmapper) is needed by
Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenILS::WWW::Reporter::transforms) is needed by
Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenSRF::DOM::Element::searchCriteria) is needed by
Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenSRF::DOM::Element::searchCriterium) is needed by
Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
perl(OpenSRF::DomainObject::oilsPrimitive) is needed by
Evergreen-ILS-1.0.6.3-1.fc6.bf.noarch
so take the Fieldmapper module for example: by changing the line
"package Fieldmapper;" to "package OpenILS::Utils::Fieldmapper;" this
breaks the build of the OpenILS apache mod file: fieldmapper_lookup.c
which is created by the fieldmapper_lookup-gen.pl file. So yes it did
break that. But the OpenILS perlmods: Perm.pm and SIP.pm both "use
OpenILS::Utils::Fieldmapper" which causes a rpmbuild dependency issue.
However by having both lines together in the Fieldmapper.pm:
package Fieldmapper;
package OpenILS::Utils::Fieldmapper;
Seems to be okay but can you have muItiple decls like this? Anyway now
the fieldmapper_lookup-gen.pl works again and the dependency is
resolved.
If these are due to dead code - I'm interested in knowing if you fix
them?
Pete.

Very cool. We'd love to be involved, of course, to help sort out any

The files reported missing aren't missing, but instead dead code. The
modules that reference them should go away; they will not be coming
back.
As for the modules reported to have an incorrect name, changing the
module name declared in the package statement will absolutely and
completely break and change how the modules work, and it will do so
under /all/ distributions, certainly not just Ubuntu.
Are you sure you understand what is going on in those files? Thank you,
though, for your interest.
