Bug#707968: ITP: libcpanplus-perl -- API & CLI access to the CPAN mirrors

2013-05-12 Thread Dominic Hargreaves 
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Dominic Hargreaves 

* Package name: libcpanplus-perl
  Version : 0.9136
  Upstream Author : Chris Williams 
* URL : https://metacpan.org/release/CPANPLUS
* License : Perl
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : API & CLI access to the CPAN mirrors

The CPANPLUS library is an API to the CPAN mirrors and a collection of
interactive shells, commandline programs, etc, that use this API.

This module is being deprecated from the perl base distribution in
5.18.0, so it is planned to package it separately to provide continuity.
The perl 5.18 packages will depend on, recommend or suggest deprecated
modules for one release cycle, as appropriate.

Whoever actually packages this (Gregor?), please note that CPANPLUS is
patched in the 'perl' package for a Debian specific configuration file
path and INSTALLDIRS defaults. See

 
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/perl/5.14.2-21/debian/cpanplus_definstalldirs.diff
 
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/perl/5.14.2-21/debian/cpanplus_config_path.diff

I think those patches need to go in the separate package too.

Also, perhaps it should provide a 'cpanplus' virtual package due to the
command line interface?
