I'd like to see comments added regarding the use of perl-bootstrap to
show where the circular dependency is; these cycles may change over time
as module implementations change, and some upstream module writers
explicitly drop dependencies to avoid cycles, so it's useful to know why
a BR was guarded by perl_bootstrap as it may be possible to remove it at
a later date.
I've just added this in perl-Net-SSLeay for instance:
# Test::Kwalitee => Module::CPANTS::Analyze => Net::HTTP =>
IO::Socket::SSL => Net::SSLeay
%if 0%{!?perl_bootstrap:1}
BuildRequires: perl(Test::Kwalitee)
%endif
Paul.
