[Cc-ed to p...@packages.d.o since this module is in perl-modules] * Package name : libthread-queue-perl Version : 2.11 Upstream Author : Jerry D. Hedden, <jdhedden AT cpan DOT org> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Thread-Queue/ * License : same as Perl (Artstic or GPL) Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl module for thread-safe queues Thread::Queue provides thread-safe FIFO queues that can be accessed safely by any number of threads. . Any data types supported by threads::shared can be passed via queues: . * Ordinary scalars * Array refs * Hash refs * Scalar refs * Objects based on the above . Ordinary scalars are added to queues as they are. . If not already thread-shared, the other complex data types will be cloned (recursively, if needed, and including any blessings and read-only settings) into thread-shared structures before being placed onto a queue. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thread::Queue is now included in perl-modules. The reason for a package separate from perl-modules is that I need a version (2.11) newer than the one in perl-modules (2.00, same as in perl 5.8). 2.11 is needed by Padre 0.25 (ITP#492696). Perl maintainers, please tell me if you want me to hold this package, for example because you are planning to upgrade Thread::Queue in perl-modules. Otherwise, please be prepared to add libthread-queue-perl to Conflicts/Provides list of perl-modules when that is upgraded to includes a version same or superseding the one in the separate package. Upgrading only Thread::Queue in perl-modules would also need upgrading thread::shared because T::Q 2.11 needs t::s 1.21, while perl-modules has 1.14. Separate libthread-shared-perl has 1.21. This is a complex matter to me so your advice is appreciated. -- dam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
