o Perl repackaged under 5.8.0 and with perl-openpkg utility
+ Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 09:15:09 +0100

+ Subject: HEADS UP: Perl fully repackaged in OpenPKG-CURRENT
+ Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+
+ HEADS UP: Perl was fully re-packaged now in OpenPKG-CURRENT.
+ The individual changes to the "perl" and "perl-xxx" packages were:
+
+ - upgraded base from Perl 5.6.1 to new stable 5.8.0 version
+ - introduced perl-openpkg utility for use in perl-xxx packaging
+ - All(!) modules are now in site_perl to avoid conflicts with base versions
+ - use <prefix>/lib/perl instead of <prefix>/lib/perl5 to be consistent
+ - use "%setup0 -q -c" instead of redundant "%setup0 -q -c -n
%{name}-%{version}"
+ - do not build and install man-pages because perldoc is enough
+ - fixed various small bugs in packaging
+
+ If you're upgrading to this new set of Perl packages, you first have
+ to upgrade the "perl" package. After this all you "perl-xxx" packages
+ will be dead (because staying under <prefix>/lib/perl5/5.6.1/), so
+ you immediately also have to upgrade all your "perl-xxx" packages
+ (and this way reinstal them into <prefix>/lib/perl/5.8.0/). Under
+ run-time you should see no incompatibilities, except that the section 3
+ manpages are no longer installed. The reason is that they just clutter
+ <prefix>/man/man3 with thousands of files without need, because a
+ simple "perldoc foo" instead of "man foo" still does the same effect
+ on-the-fly.
+
+ The main motivation for these major changes were that we wanted to fully
+ remove all redundancy in the "perl-xxx" packages and get again a fully
+ filesystem consistent packaging of all Perl stuff.
