As Gabor friendly reminded me, here is the list of differences/caveats
that exist between pristine upstream Padre 0.27 and the Debian package
I have just uploaded (needs ftp-master approval).
* eg/hangman.p6 removed
it certainly is copyrighted work, but has no license, therefore
cannot be distributed by Debian. Already reported as
http://padre.perlide.org/ticket/250
see http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-perl/apps/padre.git;a=commit;h=121656f1e04e3900a7ae0688221ddedfb98147fe
If you happen to know of more such files, please tell me.
* share/locale/*.mo removed
these are compiled from corresponding .po files. The package build
process includes .po -> .mo compilation.
see the above commit (for removal) and the fllowing one (for
compiling .mo files)
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-perl/apps/padre.git;a=commit;h=d9f7f2c2258e43e2473b777ccb1a7610757b16d2
I don't really have any idea how to acomplish this with Padre's
build process. Shall I create a ticket about this?
* relaxed dependency on App-Ack
Declared minimum version is 1.86
Available in Debian: 1.80
Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/504071
The maintainer of this package actually declares friendliness for
non-maintainer uploads, so I could overcome that if it is considered
critical.
* unsatisfied dependencies on core packages
Warning: prerequisite Encode 2.26 not found. We have 2.23.
Warning: prerequisite IPC::Cmd 0.42 not found. We have 0.401.
Packaging modules available in Perl code is connected with a burden
I don't want to face unless proven that the newer versions are
indeed necessary.
* other unsatisfied dependencies
Warning: prerequisite Module::Starter 1.50 not found. We have 1.470.
This one I missed initially because module starter changed its
versioning scheme (again) and in Debian-land, 1.470 is greater than
1.50 so the current package (1.470) satisfied the declared
dependency (1.50). (1.470 >> 1.50 in Debian-land because 470 >> 50,
like in apples).
Anyway, 1.50 introduces only cosmetic fixes, as well as one non-free
documentation file, not distributable by Debian, so really no need
to depend on that.
* patched inc/Module/Install/PRIVATE/Padre.pm to allow for wxWidgets
2.8.7 instead of requiring 2.8.8.
2.8.7 is the latest available in Debian. Padre seems to work here
with it. Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/512939
* two other patches I already submitted to trac (#247, #248) and later
commited to SVN so no real divergence here.
If anything of the above looks like something I shouldn't have done,
please tell me.
P.S.: My efforts for checking META.yml dependency versions with the
ones declared in the Debian package, led to writing a small tool that
does that automatically. Integration with dh-make-perl pending. Thank
you Gabor, for gently prodding me on this matter :)
