I picked up maintainership of finance-quote so that gnucash could work with a recent version. There's a new upstream f-q out, so now I'm trying to understand a bit more about perlmod info files.
The existing f-q info file (mostly copied from the f-q 1.08 version before my awareness of fink) says: Architecture: (%type_pkg[perl] = 581) powerpc, (%type_pkg[perl] = 584) powerpc but also: Type: perl (5.8.1 5.8.6) So why specify an architecture for 584 and then not allow it to list finance-quote-pm584? I believe msachs' world builds complained about the absence of the 584 variant. Was 5.8.4 a notorious perl version? Dare I just include it in the Type: field? How should I go about testing either a 584 or a 588 variant if I add them to the Type: field? BTW, crypt-ssleay does this same thing, and it has a different maintainership history. Also, should I be thinking about deleting the 581 variant? I don't have a 10.3 machine around to test on. Would anyone on 10.4 be using that old a perl version?
