That was supposed to read they're *not* published under different namespaces. > The difference between a troll and a critique > Citations and references. Fair enough, I've worked on these two bugs extensively before I came to the conclusion teaching good practice to people who use bad justification is pointless. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libio-compress-zlib-perl/+bug/394481 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxml-sax-perl/+bug/13917 I've also done some work fixing cpanplus bugs where cpanplus will act radically different than cpan http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533707 I've also tried arguing this in the irc chans, it comes down to an unwillingness and apathetic attitude to do it right. Debian *wants* to changes the way modules they didn't create interact with the system. It is just asking for problems unless they have total control over CPAN. They don't, therefore CPAN is unsupported and your apt repository has got to be good enough. -- Evan Carroll System Lord of the Internets http://www.evancarroll.com _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
