It seems like it should, except... The splitoff code suggests that a SplitOff can contain a Type, but the Packaging Manual says type is present to "splitoff" and looking at PkgVersion suggests that setting it to some other value breaks things. But since type is clearly not inheirited, is there a problem with splitoffs' UpdatePOD not getting special treatment for Type: perl? > and the manual says that Essential is not allowed in a splitoff but > this is no longer correct. Should also mention whether it's inheirited or not (if I understand PkgVersion::initialize() correctly, it is, but I'm not sure that's how it actually works or is what's desired. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
