So I'm removing bioperl-pm from stable for now, and suggeesting that the
various dependencies of the unstable version need to be fixed up before

It turns out that bioperl-pm depends on many perlmodules which only have a -pm and -pm581 info file. The maintainer doesn't want to maintain the -pm560 and -pm580 ones, which I can understand. So I could just copy the-pm581 info files into -pm560 and -pm580 info files, and submit those to the tracker. But I cannot test those myself (only have 10.3), and it could take a while before they get added, because either they don't work (I couldn't test it) or people monitoring the tracker are too busy. Besides that I rather not maintain a lot more packages that didn't actually write the info files for.
So I see a few options:
- I submit the new info files to the tracker and sit back and wait
- I mail the new info files directly to someone with cvs access so they can be added asap
- I get cvs access and take care of it myself :-)
- bioperl-pm560 and bioperl-pm580 are no longer supported by me, so only people with 10.3 and unstable enabled can use bioperl.

I also saw Dave Morrison's email about the perl-modules, so the solution from Dan Macks could maybe solve the whole problem.
Any suggestions what the way to go is now? Bioperl is a really useful set of perlmodules used in <buzzwordalert> bioinformatics </buzzwordalert>, and I think it would be great if it became available to wider audience of Mac OS X users by moving it to stable.
thanks,
