tags 154963 -patch thanks Since this bug was filed, the perl-doc-html package was created, which takes the built documentation from perldoc.perl.org.
It would be better to build the HTML files from source, using the code at <http://perl.jonallen.info/projects/perldoc>. It would also be better to build this from the perl package itself, so that the documentation remains accurate. This would only be possible if it didn't unreasonably extend the build-depends of perl itself. If it did, then the alternative approach would be for perl-doc-html to remain a separate package, but to Build-Depend on the exact upstream version of perl. That said, we reserve the right to make changes to POD between upstream releases, so even that doesn't work particuarly well. I will file a bug on perl-doc-html to remind us that that package has very out of date documentation. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
