CentOS - Apr 2009 - rt3 3.8.2 latest version as rpm for C5?

Hi,

I know, epel has rt3 in version 3.6.x.
And - sadly - for version 3.8.x the perl module dependencies are way 
ahead of what I can find in epel or rpmforge.
But we really need some of the 3.8.x series features.

So has anybody maybe built those modules + rt3 v3.8.x for C5?
Any hint?

I really do not want to install f10. :O

Thx
Rainer

You could run it in a VM.

I started to run down this rabbit hole and had most of it built via
mock and one of dag's cpan-> rpm scripts. After a few rounds of
builds, it became immediately apparent that some of the requirements
directly conflict with the perl rpm shipped by centos and RHEL.
Specifically the Encode bits required by RT 3.8 are much newer than
what is provided in the centos perl rpm. I wasn't willing to do that
level of replacement when building RT because I didn't need the
feature sets in 3.8 and I wasn't aware of what else that might impact
for other users.

After trying for 2 hours, I ran into 3 brickwall-issues. Like you found, there
are two base perl modules which require newer versions than that which comes
with 5.3. These modules are
    File::Temp  and Encode   (core)

cpan2rpm can package them OK, but there are fatal transaction check errors when
installing.

Mr. JV is the author of RT3 and DBIx::SearchBuilder. The SearchBuilder module
also stopped me (briefly) with a dependency on DBD::Oracle. To grab this from
CPAN requires the supporting Orable Libs. I altered the spec and removed any
Oracle depends.

These 3 issues were enough to cause me to give up.
