Heh, quoting yourself in March: > Diverting corelist.1.gz would definitely be wrong. http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2008/03/msg00088.html But I see I failed to mention back then that /usr/bin/corelist itself is diverted too. I can see that this makes the difference here. On Wed, Aug 06, 2008 at 06:37:44PM +1000, Brendan O'Dea wrote: > My thoughts exactly.

Yes, currently shipping corelist.1.gz in libmodule-corelist-perl would be a violation of the Perl policy. I suppose #474529 should be reassigned to libmodule-corelist-perl then, and another bug cloned/submitted against the policy. I'll do that unless somebody protests. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
