Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jonathan Yu <jaw...@cpan.org>
I hate the idea of this, but I have to do this because two LEOCHARRE modules are required by the new version of Wordpress::XMLRPC (already packaged; its upgrade has been blocked for a long time because of this) * Package name : libleocharre-perl Version : Debian Native Upstream Author : Leo Charre <leocha...@cpan.org> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/~leocharre/ * License : Perl (Artistic or GPL-1+) Programming Lang: Perl Description : Bundle of several modules in the LEOCHARRE:: namespace Basically, the author of Wordpress::XMLRPC requires his own helper modules, which may be used in several distributions (since he produces many of them). However, I'm hesitant to create multiple packages for them because: 1. These packages are probably only ever going to be used by Leo Charre 2. These packages are coded poorly (they export random functions into the main namespace) 3. The packages contain very small portions of code I'd even consider patching Wordpress::XMLRPC with these functions; however, I don't think the patch would be sustainable in the long term. There was some discussion on the pkg-perl list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2009/11/msg00065.html Useful suggestions are gladly accepted and appreciated. Please give me a less crappy alternative. I beg of you. PLEASE. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
