Now the package is well alternative to libanyevent-httpd. So there will appear many projects dependig on libtwiggy-perl. :) >> The module aslo contains /usr/bin/twiggy.

If somebody needs twiggy script he will seek 'twiggy' package. If he needs Twiggy module he will seek 'libtwiggy-perl' package. So I think it is worth to split package anymore. Now Debian has already have one package that depends on twiggy. And it uses it as library (external module). So the project (probably) needn't twiggy script :) -- . ''`. Dmitry E.

The discussion actually came up several times during the last years, pointing out that user who look for the well-known application will rather find the package than the lib-perl package. > > So It would be nice to have two packages: > I don't think splitting the package this way makes much sense given that the > twiggy script is quite minimal.

IIRC, at the time this was uploaded for the first time, it was decided to
rename the package this way because it was mainly inteneded to be used as
standalone application (as per group's policy [0]). Same goes for the
starman package.
This [1] is what I found with a quick search, but I couldn't find the
specific discussion about twiggy and starman use.

I don't think splitting the package this way makes much sense given that the
twiggy script is quite minimal. In the case this is going to be renamed,
the package libtwiggy-perl should just "Provides: twiggy".

Package: twiggy I spent much time to find the package. I even thought to build the package by myself, but apt-file helped me to find the package. Traditionally perl modules are named as lib-perl [1] so It would be nice to rename the module to libtwiggy-perl The module aslo contains /usr/bin/twiggy. It could be left in module 'twiggy'. So It would be nice to have two packages: twiggy: depends -> libtwiggy-perl contains -> /usr/bin/twiggy /usr/share/man/man1/twiggy.1p.gz /usr/share/doc/twiggy/copyright /usr/share/doc/twiggy/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/twiggy/changelog.Debian.gz libtwiggy-perl: contains -> /usr/share/perl5/Twiggy.pm /usr/share/perl5/AnyEvent /usr/share/perl5/AnyEvent/Server /usr/share/perl5/AnyEvent/Server/PSGI.pm /usr/share/perl5/Plack /usr/share/perl5/Plack/Handler /usr/share/perl5/Plack/Handler/Twiggy.pm /usr/share/perl5/Twiggy /usr/share/perl5/Twiggy/Server.pm /usr/share/perl5/Twiggy/Server /usr/share/perl5/Twiggy/Server/SS.pm /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man3 /usr/share/man/man3/Twiggy.3pm.gz /usr/share/man/man3/Plack::Handler::Twiggy.3pm.gz /usr/share/doc/libtwiggy-perl/copyright /usr/share/doc/libtwiggy-perl/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/libtwiggy-perl/changelog.Debian.gz 1. http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/ch-module_packages.html#s-package_names -- .
