Package: libfile-fcntllock-perl Version: 0.22-3 Severity: normal Control: block -1 by 827074
#827074 discusses a proposed File::Fcntllock::Any module which uses the XS implementation if available, otherwise falls back to the pureperl version. This bug is to implement the required packaging split. Quoting Niko from #677865: > For full disclosure, if we had the fallback we could setup the > modules something like this: > > /usr/share/perl5/File/FcntlLock.pm > on normal arch-independent @INC; tries ::XS first and > falls back to ::Pure from a special directory > > /usr/lib/<triplet>/libfile-fcntllock-perl/File/FcntllLock/Pure.pm > in a special directory that only File::FcntlLock knows > possibly with an additional symlink on the normal @INC too > > /usr/lib/<triplet>/<version>/File/FcntlLock/XS.pm (and .so) > on normal arch-dependent @INC > > The "special directory" part would be a Debian-specific deviation > that wouldn't need any upstream support. > > This way we could honestly have the package just Recommend > perlapi-*, and have it still work (even if in a degraded state) > when there's version skew between Perl and the XS parts.
