Hi! I was checking for perl implementations of things provided now by libdpkg-perl and I see there's several of them, I'd like to canvas the reasons for the existence of those in case it's due to deficiencies in libdpkg-perl for example. In the same way, I'm interested in the reasons the users of those modules had when chosing them instead of libdpkg-perl? Also if there's interest, I'm happy to discuss possible missing feature merge-backs and possible transition handling to deprecate some of the modules. For example the changelog parsing implementation in libdpkg-perl was merged a while back from the one in libparse-debianchangelog-perl, but I think some of the output formatters are still missing there. The current modules list and their users I've got includes: * libdpkg-parse-perl - dh-make-perl * libparse-debcontrol-perl - customdeb - dh-haskell - duck - libdebian-copyright-perl - libdebian-source-perl * libparse-debianchangelog-perl - aptitude - customdeb - dh-haskell - dh-make-perl - license-reconcile - lintian - pkg-perl-tools * libparse-debian-packages-perl - multistrap * libdebian-source-perl - dh-elpa - dh-make-perl * libdebian-copyright-perl - license-reconcile - pkg-components - pkg-perl-tools * libconfig-model-dpkg-perl (parts) Feedback, much appreciated! Thanks, Guillem
