#9803 perl-io-tty unavailable in el koji buildroot
Closed: Fixed by tmz. Opened by tmz.

Reopen Issue

There was a perl-io-tty package in EPEL which was recently retired and blocked in #9570 because the package had been available in RHEL for a long time.

However, now it's not possible to BR perl-io-tty with el6 builds. Specifically, in git, I have BuildRequires: perl(IO::Pty) and building for el6 in koji fails due to an inability to install the dependency:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=53156358

This makes koji differ from mock and copr. It prevents some convenient testing of the latest git on el6, which is quite useful to myself as a git maintainer in Fedora as well as to upstream git. It helps ensure that changes don't break on older, but still supported OS's (though I know that el6 is not long for this world).

Can the blocking in koji be fixed to allow the RHEL perl-io-tty package to be available in el6 build targets? Thanks!

So, yeah, when we block something in epel that is in rhel, we have to also unblock it in the build tag...

I've unblocked it in dist-6E-epel-build now, so it should work, please confirm?

Wonderful, thanks Kevin!

Here's a successful git build for el6 pulling in perl-IO-Tty: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=53260207
