perl packaging replication: msg#00015linux.debian.devel.perl
I noticed today several new packages have appeared in sid which seem to exactly or closely replicate those already available in the perl package itself. I am wondering what the point of this is and whether it is a good idea or not? In the past bugs have been submitted for the removal of perl module packages that are replicating work done in the main perl package. package name | perl | package ------------------|------------|-------- libfile-spec-perl | 0.87 | 0.90 libfile-temp-perl | 0.14 | 0.14 libtext-wrap-perl | 2001.09291 | 2001.0929 Of these 3 only one of them seems justified and, to me, it would seem better to request an update of the libfile-spec-perl within the perl package rather than introduce another new package.
