Bug#707968: ITP: libcpanplus-perl -- API & CLI access to the CPAN mirrors
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. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

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? -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
