I think Parrot installs Perl 5 modules and scripts that are only needed for the configuration. Here is a list of files that are in MANIFEST, from which I think that are not needed to be installed under the tools-subdirectory.
lib/Parrot/Configure.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Compiler.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Data.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Messages.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Conf.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Conf/CLI.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Conf/File.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Conf/Shared.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Reconf.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Test.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Options/Test/Prepare.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Step.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Step/List.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Step/Methods.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Step/Test.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Test.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Trace.pm [devel]lib lib/Parrot/Configure/Utils.pm [devel]lib tools/dev/gen_makefile.pl [devel] tools/dev/reconfigure.pl [devel] I would like to set this entries to ... [] so that this files will not be installed. I am not as safe as houses that the files are not really needed to be installed. May be any project or other software need them. I compiled rakudo-2010.08.1 on parrot-2.7.0 without that files and "mk_language_shell.pl" run without the files. Would it be okay to switch the entries or do somebody not agree with it? I will change the entries if I get no complains in the next four days. -- Gerd _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
