Thinking of putting together some Perl module packages
I've got involved in repraps[1] and one of the pieces of software I'm
trying to use[2] depends on some not-yet-packaged perl modules from
CPAN:
Boost::Geometry::Utils
Math::Clipper
Math::ConvexHull
Math::Geometry::Voronoi
Math::PlanePath
Obviously given the stage of the release these should probably go to
experimental. I found this git-based packaging walkthrough
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html
Is that a good place to start ? Is there anything I should watch out
for ? Should I try to bundle several cpan modules into a single
package ?
All advice and opinions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Ian.
PS: I don't intend to package the reprap software itself. It's still
very much in a state of flux and certainly not the kind of thing that
fits Debian's release cycle.
