I wanted to install the latest Subversion, version 1.5.1, on CentOS 5. I knew it wouldn't be in the CentOS repos (although I checked anyway) so I went looking in Fedora Rawhide and pulled down the SRPM I found there. I attempted to build it and it failed due to a missing "perl-devel" package. Some investigation indicates that somewhere in Fedora's history the headers and development utilities in Perl got broken out into a separate subpackage. It looks like this happened at 5.8.8-15. This is mostly a heads-up to others that might run into this, but I'm wondering what the best way to deal with it is. Should I comment out the BuildReq, or create a virtual package that provides perl-devel and depends on the existing perl package?
