First of all, it introduces new module dependencies which don't exist in for example RHEL4. The easiest way to deal with that is probably to fork off the subversion exporter into a separate package, but the really bad one is: git-svnimport.perl:require v5.8.0; # for shell-safe open("-|",LIST) ... which RPM thinks means that you need a Perl module called v5.8.0 which doesn't, of course, exist. This is arguably an rpmbuild bug, but it nevertheless breaks at the moment. I'm afraid I cannot update any of the kernel.org machines to 0.99.9 until these problems have been cleaned up. -hpa
