Wow - Congratulations, this paper is quite interesting to me - partly because next week I will be presenting one quite similar to it ;-) http://vienna.yapceurope.org/ye2007/talk/513 http://people.debian.org/~gwolf/integrating_perl_in_distro.pdf Of course, the approach the pkg-perl group has taken is quite different. We have adopted a tool (dh-make-perl) similar to what you discuss, using CPAN's CPAN.pm module for the CPAN-updating part (AFAICT, equivalent to your r_pkg_update.pl), and takes care of basically extracting each module's metadata and building its package. Although some users have requested this functionality (and we even have a patch available implementing it), I have resisted the temptation of introducing an infrastructure-generating module - dh-make-perl deals only with individual packages. This is because I strongly oppose blindly generating packages, even if CPAN's quality is also quite acceptable and sanity tests are carried out. Anyway... I will take a closer look to your presentation (I only skimmed it) - Thanks for sharing! -- Gunnar Wolf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
