	Re: Perl is Broken after Centos 5.4 update by Mike-737 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message RT has been down now for over a week. The first thing I tried was to run "make testdeps", which fails. I can and did run "perl test-dependencies --mysql --modperl2" and installed dependencies. This allowed me to get httpd back up but not RT. This server is also a co-host for Moodle, which is running fine. RT had been running, on this system, for over a year. For the last 6 months, it did not have access to updates, prior to, it got them ~weekly with no problems. At this point, I think my only option is to port the data and move on to another platform. Does anyone know of any documents on migrating RT and RTFM to a new host? I also want to convert from mysql to postgresql. Thank you, Mike -----Original Message----- From: rt-users-bounces@...

Existing package managers do not play well with Perl's modules/libraries. The same goes for any language that lets you install updates outside of the platform's rigid package system. RPM's can execute initialization scripts, and there's no reason why RedHat shouldn't check to see what the real version of the library on disk is before blindly clobbering it. Your solution of "compile your own packages of potentially conflicting libraries that will install to site_perl" doesn't sound much friendlier than "use another perl." Arguably, a better solution would be for RT to use local::lib, but it's relatively new. -- Cambridge Energy Alliance: Save money.

The two systems are completely orthogonal and have VERY different philosophical views regarding software management. RPM only wants to deal with RPM packages with their file manifests, and CPAN is more like the BSD ports system in the fact that its a source build, every time. Either you use RPMs or you risk breaking the dependency chain on your system, which I as an experienced administrator DON'T want to deal with. The best solution is to get people willing to sponsor packaging RT for RH in the EPEL repository, SuSE on the OBS, Mandriva contrib, and Debian Unstable. (The reason for the given distributions listed is that should cover the major flavours out there fairly well since anything in EPEL will be usable for CentOS and RHEL; having it in OBS for SuSE would make it possible to have releases for SLES 10-11 and OpenSuSE 11.x; Mandriva contrib since they've one of the most comprehensive collection of Perl packages to any other RPM distribution, and their flavour of RPM is not 100% compatible to RH, SuSE, etc.; and Debian Unstable packages in most cases will work on Ubuntu for those that want/need Ubuntu LTS compatibility.) Yes, it's not perfect, but that's the breaks in the F/OSS world. Upping the ante and requiring a person to manage the myriad of modules that RT requires is a non-trivial task for non-Perl savvy people (I am well versed in Perl so it's no issue to me with my custom scripts to auto package them up using cpan2rpm (generates specs for me which then are fed to my autobuilder), but I can see where this could definitely impact the user base of RT overall.) -- Gary L.
