Well, "perl5" enough for most purposes. The packages that use
databases or new/incompatible features are the ones that depend
specifically on perl-5.005.
In potato theres a dh_perl utility that studies what features are
being used, and generates a correct ${perl:Depends} for the control

It was closed, but did have Debian people on it (and was run on one of our mail servers). After he resigned in August, Debian and Red Hat quickly agreed to continue creation of a written standard under the name LCS. Up until then the LSB was focused mainly on creating a reference implantation, not the specification we wanted. But the remaining members of the LSB wanted a written spec too, so LCS merged back into LSB again, becoming a subproject. Project leadership was reorganized under Dan Quinlan who opened up the lists on August 24. There were some press releases and /. postings about this, which in addition to reassuring everyone was also meant to crush the LSA, which was effective. (The LSA situation at that time had achieved Crisis status on IRC.) The rest is on the web archives at linuxbase.org, housed at Transmeta.

Intent to package: cronolog
CRONOLOG version 1.5b9 "cronolog" is a simple program that reads log messages from its input and writes them to a set of output files, the names of which are constructed using template and the current date and time. The template uses the same format specifiers as the Unix date command (which are the same as the standard C strftime library function). "cronolog" is intended to be used in conjunction with a Web server, such as Apache to split the access log into daily or monthly logs. For example the Apache configuration directives: TransferLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/access.log" ErrorLog"|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/errors.log" would instruct Apache to pipe its access and error log messages into separate copies of cronolog, which would create new log files each day in a directory hierarchy structured by date, i.e. on 31 December 1996 messages would be written to /www/logs/1996/12/31/access.log /www/logs/1996/12/31/errors.log after midnight the files /www/logs/1997/01/01/access.log /www/logs/1997/01/01/errors.log would be used, with the directories 1997, 1997/01 and 1997/01/01 being created if they did not already exist. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
