Bug 507874 – app-portage/g-cpan-0.16.4-r4 - g-cpan fails to generate ebuild for Spreadsheet::XLSX

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Juergen Rose 2014-04-17 07:17:53 UTC]

'g-cpan -p Spreadsheet::XLSX' fails with:

Is it possible to include Spreadsheet::XLSX directly in the portage tree?
Or is there an other script based possibility to parse newer Excel files?



Reproducible: Always

I just found Bug 402645. No progress during the last two years.

In the zugaina overlay there is an 
Spreadsheet-XLSX-0.13.ebuild. I could emerge Spreadsheet::XLSX and use it without any problems. I would suggest to transfer this ebuild to the regular portage tree.

It is at http://data.gpo.zugaina.org/zugaina/dev-perl/Spreadsheet-XLSX/Spreadsheet-XLSX-0.13.ebuild

Thanks for the information, though I'll close this bug as duplicate. I'll paste some info in original bug #402645

By the way, where you've get g-capn 0.16.4-r4? In portage there is only 0.16.4-r1 :)
