Replacing libio-compress-bzip2-perl, libcompress-zlib-perl, libio-compress-zlib-perl, and libio-compress-base-perl with libio-compress-perl
As I previously mentioned on the debian-perl list, upstream has combined
libio-compress-bzip2-perl, libcompress-zlib-perl, libio-compress-zlib-perl,
and libio-compress-base-perl into libio-compress-perl. I'm working on
updating this in Ubuntu and want to contribute the work back to Debian.
The draft package is in the pkg-perl svn (since they are maintainer of all but
one of the constituent modules). I also added anyone who was in Uploaders or
Maintainer for any of these packages to Uploaders for the combined package.
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libio-compress-perl/debian/
The package builds and is Lintian clean (source and binary), but before it can
be uploaded, libcompress-raw-bzip2-perl and libcompress-raw-zlib-perl will
have to be updated. As soon as this is done, libio-compress-bzip2-perl,
libcompress-zlib-perl, libio-compress-zlib-perl, and libio-compress-base-perl
will be uninstallable. Given the need for a trip through New, I'm not sure
what the best way to manage that is.
I'm hoping to upload an Ubuntu'ized version of this soon, so I would
appreciate any review comments people have to offer.
