* Package name : libpackage-locator-perl Version : 0.006 Upstream Author : Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer <j...@imaginative-software.com> * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Package-Locator/ * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : module to find the distribution that provides a given package Package::Locator attempts to answer the question: "Where can I find a distribution that will provide this package?" The answer is divined by searching the indexes for one or more CPAN-like repositories. If you also provide a specific version number, Package::Locator will attempt to find a distribution with that version of the package, or higher. You can also ask to find the latest version of a package across all the indexes. . Package::Locator only looks at the index files for each repository, and those indexes only contain information about the latest versions of the packages within that repository. So Package::Locator is not BackPAN magic -- you cannot use it to find precisely which distribution a particular package (or file) came from. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
