perl_vendor was a subpackage of the perl source package (it does not have its own -src), so this is correct. All perl-* packages currently in either arch should be listed; if not, PTC. As for whatever other perl module packages that need to be added in order to replace perl_vendor, those will be added when we have an approved update or ITA for them. > Given the purpose of the file and that it's meant to be consumed by > scripts, how about switching to something more easily parseable like > JSON or YAML (much like Perl does)?

What additional information do you think would be useful here? Yaakov
