[Andres Mejia] Digest::SHA::PurePerl is a complete implementation of the NIST Secure Hash Standard written entirely in Perl. It gives Perl programmers a convenient way to calculate SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 message digests. It is functionally equivalent to the Digest::SHA module. Is there any possible point? All Debian architectures can build and run XS Perl modules. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Is there any possible point? All Debian architectures can build and run XS Perl modules. (Note: I have no idea what this particular case is about) PurePerl programs are often useful because they have less risk of crashing horribly via a segfault. I'm not sure how this applies to something as well-tested as the Digest::SHA module or the C implementation of the algorithm. It should be noted that while all arches can build and run XS modules, it doesn't preclude a given arch from being unable to build a module properly. In that case, it's convenient to be able to fall back to a pure perl equivalent easily. Neither of these is really convincing (not to me, and probably not to you), but it's the best I could come up with. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, really the only reason why I'm even bothering to package this is because I'm working on an assignment which I want to make sure builds and runs on CentOS and OSX and making Digest::SHA::PurePerl work would be easier for me than making Digest::SHA build and run on these other distros. Of course, I know I didn't need to debianize this module for this particular purpose, but I thought I would take the time to package it anyway. For anyone willing to sponsor an upload of this module, I have packages ready for review and upload at: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-perl/packages/libdigest-sha-pureperl-perl.git http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-perl/packages/libdigest-sha-pureperl- perl.git;a=summary Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Pure perl packages are not needed in the archive except for specific corner cases, and this is obviously not one. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature
