I maintain libxmltv-perl, a package that is still under active development upstream: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/interpreters/libxmltv-perl.html The package consists of a DTD in /usr/share/sgml/xmltv, a number of Perl libraries in /usr/share/perl5/XMLTV, a set of "grabbers" that get TV listings in XML format, and a few other configuration programs and related utilities. Up until now, everything has been written in Perl. My problem? Suddenly, a new grabber has been added, and this new grabber has been written in Python rather than Perl. I have nothing against Python, but this change seems to at least invalidate the name of my package... What do I do with this? I see a few options. One is to rename my package to something more general (maybe just 'xmltv' rather than 'libxmltv-perl'?). Another is to split the Python grabber off into its own package (maybe something like 'libxmltv-python'?). I'm not sure what else is appropriate. Anyone have any suggestions? KEN -- Kenneth J.
