Package: libclass-accessor-grouped-perl Version: 0.09003-1 Severity: important Tags: patch
A bit over a year ago optional support for Class::XSAccessor was introduced to generate lightning-fast 'simple'-group accessors. However it recently a number of oversights became apparent, all of which were fixed in the latest version on CPAN 0.09008. The identified and fixed problems are: * Any accessors of type 'simple' (arguably the most used ones) that are declared as read-only or write-only, will silently turn into read-writer ones when Class::XSAccessor is present in @INC * If Class::XSAccessor is present in @INC set_simple/get_simple methods will no longer be invoked, even if the underlying program defines custom versions of these methods Note that it doesn't matter wether Class::XSAccessor was installed via dpkg or if it has been locally cpan'ed - all it takes is for the perl interpreter to find it somehow. Please consider upgrading the squeeze version, as the current one (0.09003-1) is too vulnerable to spooky action at a distance. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libclass-accessor-grouped-perl depends on: pn libclass-inspector-perl <none> (no description available) pn libmro-compat-perl <none> (no description available) pn libsub-identify-perl <none> (no description available) ii libsub-name-perl 0.04-1 Assigns a new name to referenced s ii perl 5.10.1-14 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages libclass-accessor-grouped-perl recommends: pn libclass-xsaccessor-perl <none> (no description available) libclass-accessor-grouped-perl suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
