I certainly see your point. I can imagine what kind of nightmare it is to support zoo of distros.... Still I think everyone will benefit if you split package into 2. CPAN-Modules package is not supposed to be updated that often so daily updates will consume way less bandwidth. Plus those of us who run pretty much up-to-date distros would have a choice to install your build of modules or ones from a distro. -- bugfixer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bugfixer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46491 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
