455585 - Installation docs should recommend using package management instead of CPAN

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect)

Description

[Rob Siklos [:robzilla]]

According to mkanat (via IRC), when a package manager (like yum or rpm) is available, installing perl modules using CPAN is "bad"- The package manager should be used instead.

E.g. "yum install bugzilla"

The docs need to be updated, since they say that CPAN is the preferred method.

Or really just whatever package management your distro has.
