Package: libossp-uuid-perl
Version: 1.5.1-1.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
libossp-uuid-perl is not fully compatible with Data::UUID.
when trying to build Data::GUID (`dh-make-perl --cpan Data::GUID; ...`),
a few tests break.
this is due to the fact that Data::GUID expects base64 encoded UUIDs
*not* to be followed by a newline, but the one of libossp-uuid-perl
appends one by use of MIME::Base64::encode_base64.
there is a simple way to fix this, since the latter function offers an
optinal argument.
thus the patch would be:
--- /usr/lib/perl5/Data/UUID.pm 2007-10-21 22:58:36.000000000 +0200
+++ UUID.pm 2008-05-08 18:52:45.000000000 +0200

sub to_b64string {
my ($self, $bin) = @_;
- return MIME::Base64::encode_base64($bin);
+ return MIME::Base64::encode_base64($bin, '');
}
sub from_string {
if nothing else relies on the incompatibility, it would be nice if this
change could be applied.
thanks,
rj
