Package: lintian Version: 1.23.43 Severity: wishlist Please consider a note about the "unconditional rmdir issue" in the package-contains-empty-perl-directory description. Something like this:
This package installs an empty /usr/lib/perl5 or /usr/share/perl5 directory. This is an artifact of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and isn't harmful, but it's messy. It's preferrable to remove the directory the package doesn't use (/usr/share/perl5 for binary Perl modules and /usr/lib/perl5 for pure Perl modules) in debian/rules after running make install. + + Note that ExtUtils::MakeMaker has been fixed in Perl 5.10, so make + sure not to fail if the directory does not exist in the first place. + One implementation can be found in the dh-make-perl debian/rules templates. See #458143 for some background to this. Cheers, -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
