* Package name : libcgi-session-serialize-yaml-perl Version : 4.21 Upstream Author : Sherzod Ruzmetov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Session-Serialize-yaml/ * License : same as Perl (GPL + Artistic) Programming Lang: Perl Description : Add YAML and YAML::Syck support to CGI::Session's serializers This library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. It uses YAML, or the faster C implementation, YAML::Syck if it is available. YAML serializers exist not just for Perl but also other dynamic languages, such as PHP, Python, and Ruby, so storing session data in this format makes it easy to share session data across different languages. . YAML is made to be friendly for humans to parse as well as other computer languages. It creates a format that is easier to read than the default serializer. Additionnal note: I package this perl module (within the Debian Perl Group) as this is yet another koha dependency. I package it before seeing the RFP (and the previous work of the RFP submitter Daniel Kahn Gillmor based on dh-make-perl). For release managers: As noticed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor in #484556, this perl module where included in libcgi-session-perl in stable (etch) but it is not anymore in testing (lenny). You might want to consider a freeze exception for this little module if you want to avoid a regression in available perl modules. But I will not push futher in this direction as, IMHO, no other software currently in lenny requires this perl module (koha requires it, but the koha packaging has not been ready for lenny) Best regards, Vincent -- Vincent Danjean GPG key ID 0x9D025E87 [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key fingerprint: FC95 08A6 854D DB48 4B9A 8A94 0BF7 7867 9D02 5E87 Unofficial pacakges: http://www-id.imag.fr/~danjean/deb.html#package APT repo: deb http://perso.debian.org/~vdanjean/debian unstable main -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
