I agree completely and will adopt you suggestion. BTW, I will be the
maintainer with the package having the longest name in Debian. Wow!
I forgot to ask in debian-devel in which section this package should go.
Looking for the sections of the *-perl packages in frozen's Packages.gz
file, yields:
libdbd-mysql-perl: contrib/interpreters
libdbi-perl: contrib/interpreters
dpkg-perl: devel
libcgi-perl: web
libcompress-zlib-perl: libs
libcurses-perl: libs
libdelimmatch-perl: text
libgtk-perl: interpreters
libio-stringy-perl: interpreters
liblockdev0-perl: interpreters
libmd5-perl: interpreters
libmime-base64-perl: libs
libmime-perl: mail
libnet-perl: interpreters
libterm-readkey-perl: libs
libtime-hires-perl: libs
libtime-period-perl: interpreters
libtimedate-perl: interpreters
libwww-perl: interpreters
libxbase-perl: interpreters
netcdf-perl: math
libgd-perl: non-free/graphics
Apparently there is not much logic in the choice of sections
(e.g. libmime-base64-perl & libmime-perl). I am missing some other
"pure Perl" packages, like Manoj's pkg-order (in section misc).
In waiting the "Perl Module Packaging Policy for Debian", which section
should I choose for libparse-recdescent-perl? (That's a long name, eh?)
Another question: the upstream package provides documentation in POD
format. Where should it go? I first thought in putting under
/usr/lib/perl5/pod, but I guess that /usr/doc/libparse-recdescent-perl
would be more appropriate.
