Package: libjson-perl Version: 2.27-1 Severity: important
Due to a misunderstanding as to the intent of this package, and its relation to JSON::PP (see libjson-pp-perl), JSON::PP was considered a Recommends rather than a Depends. In a discussion with David Golden, it was identified that this package should be considered a Depends. The JSON::backportPP module was not meant to be used in normal circumstances: > However, as long as libjson-perl will work (i.e. the JSON module) in > the absence of libjson-pp-perl, then it should be a Recommends rather > than a Depends. Will work, but was not designed to be used that way. The JSON::backportPP was a stopgap to ensure that if something went wrong with the split of JSON::PP, that JSON would still have a pure-perl fallback. It's an engineering safety, not an intended user API. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
