Could you please point me to the part of Perl packaging guidelines that you
believe to be violated by this?

> b) This package doesn't install correctly - It wants to replace Test::Harness

How? I've double chcecked that this package don't have a single common provide
with anything that is in RHEL5 with EPEL and Fedora 9. The SPEC file contains no
Replaces nor Obsoletes tag. I also believe there is no file conflict. If you
feel that there is a flaw in how I ensured to neither conflict with anything,
nor replace anything please be more specific, e.g. provide a specific example.

> c) This package will collide with a future upgrade of Test::Harness

There is a mechanism to deal with this --  I was asked to file a bug against F10
perl, so that included Test-Harness will be upgraded to TAP::Harness based
version 3.10. I will do so shortly. There will be no need for this package to
ever make it into F10 Rawhide then.

Only possible problem I can imagine would be a case where a hypothetical package
would require perl-TAP-Harness instead of perl(TAP::Harness). In that case it is
not a problem  of this package, nor an unsolvable problem.

Thanks for being polite and concentrating on providing well-verified facts.
