One issue is that the Conflicts/Replaces of module-build-pmXXX-bin haven't been updated in a while. If the goal is to put some non-perlversioned generic script or data in that package for which user can install "any one choice" rather than the "orthogonal variants" module itself, need to C/R all variants. Missing 588 and 5100.
But now also fink's perlXXX itself also has that file? I guess perl has a module-build in core now? Maybe the script should be renamed in all cases...something like config_data-X.X.X, which would allow us to nuke the -bin splitoffs similarly to how we've done in other pkgs. If config_data has any pathname or versioning information, it's clearly specific to the XXX, so this forces one to decide which XXX one is really talking about. For compatibility (such as it is), could use update-alternatives to install "any once choice" as the simple name. A perlXXX-core that has this script could also rename it config_data-X.X.Xcore and join in the update-alternatives pool. dan On Sun, Jun 21, 2009 at 10:14:40AM -0400, Koen van der Drift wrote: > (including fink-devel) > > I did some more digging, and the bin splitoff was created a few years > ago by a previous maintainer: > > <http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fink/dists/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/libs/perlmods/module-build-pm.info?revision=1.13&view=log > > > > > The commit log says: "Make a splitoff for the %i/bin/config_data > script so that multiple copies of this module may be installed for > different Perl versions." > > Please advice where to put the config_data file, so I can fix the > package. > > Thanks, > > - Koen. > > > > On Jun 20, 2009, at 4:27 PM, Koen van der Drift wrote: > > > Hi Jean-Fran?ois, > > > > Thanks for the note.
