Hi all, I have done some investigation and believe I can offer some clarification regarding libjson-pp-perl...
The upstream JSON package formerly contained two key modules: * JSON (this selected JSON::XS if available, or fell back to the included JSON::PP module otherwise) * JSON::PP Upstream has now split JSON::PP into its own package, instead replacing it in the JSON package with JSON::backportPP. So the load order is now: * JSON::XS (from libjson-xs-perl) * JSON::PP (from the libjson-pp-perl module that I am preparing to upload soon) * JSON::backportPP (formerly the JSON::PP, but renamed to avoid namespace conflicts; this is included with the JSON package) As far as I can tell, the separately packaged JSON::PP is newer than JSON::backportPP, so I am not sure what level of support the author intends for the backportPP module. It is therefore in Debian's best interests to upload libjson-pp-perl (and as Nicholas mentioned, CPAN::Meta requires it now, so we will need to upload it in order to upgrade). Hope this helps clarify things :-) Cheers, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
