use of perl considered dangerous?

ddick on 2008-02-06T22:46:37

While playing with rpmlint on the rpms i build for $WORK, i was confronted with the following warning message for fedora,

"dangerous-command-in-%pre perl"

a quick check of the responsible script showed that perl was put in the same list as rm,ln,userdel,etc. python of course, was not considered dangerous.

*sigh*

there is a distinct possibility that my sense of humour is seriously lacking. more sleep required, and in the meantime, an addition to the custom rpmlint configuration file.


here's how I interpret it

("interpret", hahaha)

It just means that python hasn't made the big leagues yet.
