Stuart, thanks for posting this, I'm an infrequent updater so goodness
knows when I would have learned of this otherwise.
Little sad to see this move happen (it sorta feels like a stripping away
of some of the package's "legitimacy" in the Gentoo ecosystem, much
though I tell myself this is not really accurate) but I know it is for
good reasons and it has obviously been a hell of a package to curate
in-tree (I've seen many of the bugs).
Just a small question: does the move to an overlay improve the scope for
reanimating the old ("unbundled") source ebuild? I do remember that
many of the old bugs seemed to trace back to incompatibilities between
the bundled modules and the in-tree versions, so I guess that kind of
issue has not gone away and I dare say this is not an avenue you
personally care to go down again, but if others were to attempt this,
(a) would a source ebuild be welcome in this overlay and (b) would you
have any advice on the subject?
I'm not throwing my hat in the ring (no speaky Perl) but if/when LMS
eventually gets totally orphaned, it would be good if a project were
already well underway to keep the codebase buildable against newer
systems. What do you think?
