Slackware's perl package already contains this perl module. It's a
slightly older version (Slackware has 6.02, you packaged 6.04).
Do we really need it? Your hw-probe depends on it, but it seems to run
fine without it... and we do have a policy of not including anything
in SBo that's already included in Slackware.
Then this script could be removed from the repository.
I have no idea how this package slipped through submission form in this
case.
One amusing thing: hw-probe runs "pacman", I suppose it's trying
to run the Arch package tool, but here I have the SBo games/pacman
package installed, and so running hw-probe actually runs the game. It
should probably be patched to look in /sbin or wherever Arch keeps its
pacman package manager (the game is installed as /usr/games/pacman)...
or just patch it to skip pacman entirely, since we're making a
Slackware package, and we know we're not running on Arch.
I am not playing any games, hence I don't have that package installed.
Also, that command check comes form the upstream. It does checks for
some more package managers/OS-specific binaries too. Should they be
patched too?
This would be something for the new maintainer to look into, since
you're abandoning it.
I'll do the requested patch before handing over the package.
Cheers,
Dimitar
