 Seems like I ended up the missing dependencies chain. As I thought, other 
 packages had useless dependencies as well.

Wow, great. I hadn't thought of doing that work - glad you did that since that 
will save some time.
 
 Now, you're free to pick up and maintain any of the missing deps, if you wish 
 :)

I will try and create a list of the rest of the dependencies and start 
cherry-picking the easy ones. :)

I already did that :)

The only remaining dependencies are (in order of need):

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574621
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574615

I already packaged #574616, and uploaded it to NEW (even if I said I would've 
waited a month.. well, had nothing to do earlier today :D)

If you feel like maintaining the other two, I already have patches for 
META.yml and Build.PL (the useless dependencies), I can give them to you. I 
can also sponsor the packages, if you wish. Let's get asciio in Debian! \o/

Enjoy,
David

What's the status of your ITP? Do you still want to package it?

I just had a look at the current asciio code, and it's missing a couple of 
dependencies from Debian. I'm going to file appropriate ITP/RFP bugs blocking 
this one.

If you're not interested anymore, I am. Just tell me, and I'll take the ITP 
over :)

Kindly,
David

owner 475160 !

Hello,
thanks for your fast response :) -- please keep the bug CCed, so we can 
publicly keep history of the ITP.

 Wow, cool. I think its great that you want to work on this! I will
  definitely help but since you're taking the initiative, you should take
  over the ITP.

Done with this mail :)

 I know the author (Nadim Khemir) so if we need his help (like in getting
  him to remove the dependencies on half of CPAN) I am happy to contact him.
  :-)

That's great!
However, I do not see a real problem about depending on missing modules -- we 
just need them packaged.
Here's my plan: I'm going to check what packages are exactly need to build/run 
asciio, and file RFPs. That's because I don't really want to maintain Perl 
modules just because they happen to be dependencies to a package I want to 
maintain. In case those RFPs aren't picked up by the Debian Perl Team, I'm 
available to make them ITPs, and maintain them pro tempore.

From a quick analysis, I see that it's only missing 3 dependencies:

 - Eval::Context
 - Data::TreeDumper::Renderer::GTK
 - Directory::Scratch::Structured

Sure, these might need other modules to work, and that's why the blocking 
mechanism exists. We just need to climb up the dependency chain until it's 
satisfied.

 Let me know what you want me to do to help - I think there are still a
  bunch of dependencies. If you want we can split them up and I'll try to
  keep up with you?

What exactly needs to be split up from the code?


Have a nice day,
David

I was only referring to splitting up the work of packaging modules from CPAN. I 
don't believe the code needs any splitting.

Ah, ok, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I just filed the two direct missing dependencies. Also, I saw upstream 
uselessly depends on a bunch of modules (I checked their usage by grepping the 
module name in the source). This is what I removed from META.yml and Build.PL, 
at the current state:

  - Cwd
  - Data::Compare
  - Directory::Scratch
  - Directory::Scratch::Structured
  - Sub::Exporter
  - Test::Block
  - Test::Exception
  - Test::Strict

I suspect this will happen with the two missing dependencies as well, since 
they're from the same author. ASAP I'll trace their dependencies as well, and 
file bugs as appropriate.

As soon as I'll finish this, you're free to pick whatever package you want :) 
-- I'm not going to package these myself for, say, one month (let's give time 
to the Debian Perl Team to detect them!)

Have a nice day,
