version.pm is part of perl-modules and there is an unfortunate bug in
the Conflicts:

Good evening, Perl team,

I have finished the packaging of Data::Stag, started by David Paleino in
your SVN repository (many thanks for having it open to other DDs by
default).

Although I often vociferate against repackagings, I have deleted a GIF
file from the original tarball, because I am unsure of its copyright
status (it is used on an unrelated web site), and it only serves to
decorate a documentation page. I have provided a get-orig-source that
creates the ~dfsg tar archive.

Due to the Perl transition, I do not know if an upload is welcome (even
if it would be to NEW). Therefore, I will wait for somebody on this list
to give me a green light before doing so.

libdata-stag-perl is necessary for libgo-perl (that I plan to package in
Debian-Med's repository unless you prefer the have it in yours), and
libgo-perl is necessary for a bioinformatic format (GFF3) parser.

Have a nice day,

I also think that switching to DH7 would be a good step.
I'm just not sure about the best time for doing it -- before or after
lenny?

(And I think I prefer /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.simple
over /usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.tiny)

Cheers,
gregor

Nice :)

Some clarification of copyright/licensing could still be done:

examples/color_editor:

I wonder what license Marcus wants for his work.

Hello,

after IRC with dam and gregoa about a nice way to solve #473304
there come two solutions:

Add a _Provides:_ field to libhtml-wikiconverter-mediawiki-perl and other
dialects providing a virtual package, wich could be at _Recommends:_ field from
libhtml-wikiconverter-perl.

Damyan suggested to add _Enhance:_ field to wikiconverter-mediawiki,
and -moinmoin, also add a notice to html2wiki(provided by
libhtml-wikiconverter-perl) binary telling that the package is now splitted
into several dialects packages;
with this solution there is a need to drop _Provides:_ added by Jonas to
libhtml-wikiconverter-moinmoin-perl.

I'm sending this email to have more input about the preferred way to
handle the relationship between this packages, also, expecting some input
from Jonas who inject the packages to the group svn :)

Cheers

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libtext-wrapper-perl package.

The package description is:
Text::Wrapper provides simple word wrapping. It breaks long lines,
but does not alter spacing or remove existing line breaks. If you're
looking for more sophisticated text formatting, try the
Text::Format module.

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libconfig-std-perl package.

The package description is:
This module implements yet another damn configuration-file system.
.
The configuration language is deliberately simple and limited, and the
module works hard to preserve as much information (section order,
comments, etc.) as possible when a configuration file is updated.

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libclass-std-perl package.

The package description is:
This module provides tools that help to implement the "inside out object"
class structure in a convenient and standard way.

perl 5.10 includes several modules that have util now been packaged
separately. perl/perl-modules Provide/Conflict/Replace with appropriate
versions of these packages, so most of these packages could be removed.
A few need dependency changes in other packages first. A few of these
packages are of a newer version than the version included in perl, and
in some cases might be worth keeping around for the new version.

Bastian Blank debian.org>
liblocale-maketext-simple-perl
(svk has a versioned dependency on it)

Jay Bonci debian.org>
libpod-escapes-perl
(perl-modules contains but is missing a provides for this)

This seems to be an incompatability introduced in perl 5.10.
pristine-tar creates a temp directory with File::Temp and chdirs into
it. At exit, File::Temp calls rmtree to delete the temp directory. After
deleting the directory, rmtree tries to chdir back to that location so
as to not "leave the client code in an unexpected directory". But it's
deleted the directory, so of course this fails!

Simple test case:
